About this property

Number Five - Onetangi Valley Retreat.

Summary:

Number Five is a newly completed, architecturally designed coastal retreat set on the edge of the Onetangi wine valley and just up the hill from Onetangi Beach. Warm timber interiors, modern furnishings, and a quiet green setting create a calm, comfortable base for guests wanting easy access to both the beach and the island’s vineyard dining.



The Space:

Number Five is designed for relaxed, practical living with light-filled interiors and a clear, functional layout across two levels. The main level brings together the kitchen, dining, and living areas in an open-plan arrangement, with warm timber finishes and large sliding doors on two sides. When opened, these doors allow fresh air and natural light to move easily through the space, creating a calm, open feel connected to the outdoors.



The kitchen is modern and well equipped, with clean lines and everything needed for everyday holiday cooking. The living area is comfortable and uncluttered, looking out across the lawn and surrounding greenery, which gives the home a settled, peaceful atmosphere.



One bedroom and a full bathroom are located on the main level, making this floor easy and comfortable for couples or guests who prefer minimal stairs. Two additional bedrooms and a second full bathroom are located on the lower level, which is accessed externally. This layout works well for couples travelling together, older children, or guests wanting a bit of separation from the main living spaces.



All furnishings and fixtures throughout the home are brand new and thoughtfully chosen, keeping the interiors simple, comfortable, and easy to live in throughout the stay.

Bedroom 1: Superking bed

Bedroom 2: King bed

Bedroom 3: King bed

Please Note - Bedrooms 2, 3 and second bathroom are located on the lower level and accessed externally.



Guest Access:

Guests have private access to the entire property, including the main living level, lower-level bedrooms and bathroom, outdoor decks, garden areas, and on-site parking.

Check-in is from 2:00 pm and check-out is by 10:30 am. Early check-in or late check-out may be available for a fee, subject to availability.



The Neighborhood:

Number Five sits between the vineyards of the Onetangi wine valley and the long white sands of Onetangi Beach. This area is well known for its relaxed pace, open landscapes, and some of the island’s most popular lunch and dining destinations.



Nearby vineyards include Casita Miro for Spanish-inspired shared plates, Tantalus Estate with its vineyard restaurant and craft brewery, Stonyridge for long lunches among the olive trees, and Te Motu for seasonal dining in a peaceful rural setting. Obsidian is also close by and known for relaxed tastings in a sheltered vineyard clearing.



Onetangi Beach is a short walk or drive away and offers swimming, long beach walks, and beachfront dining. Three Seven Two sits directly across from the sand and serves modern island dishes throughout the day, while Charlie Farley’s is a relaxed, family-friendly option from morning through evening.



Getting around

The nearest bus stop is on Onetangi Road, with regular services running from Onetangi past major wineries, including Tantalus, Stonyridge, and The Heke Brewery, before continuing into Oneroa and on to the passenger ferry terminal. Taxis, e-bikes, scooters, and rental cars are available across the island. The property has easy on-site parking.

Short stroll to the beach

Great location, just a short walk up the hill from Onetangi beach. Nice view from the turret up the top of the house. Spacious house with well-appointed kitchen and aircon. Will definitely be back.

Ok

Pro’s. nice modern feeling, comfortable beds, nice showers and bathrooms, comfortable lounge, very warm and sunny. Con’s. We found the listing info misleading. The view of the sea is from the roof top turret and not from the deck. There are no views from the deck. There is no interior access to the downstairs bedrooms, you have to go outside and down either of the two staircases, so not kid friendly (not that we had our kids) and it would not be pleasant going to bed in bad weather. We couldn’t get the dish washer to work. The combination for the key lock box had been changed and the property manager had emailed the combination. We had no access to emails and couldn’t get hold of the manager. It would have made more sense to have txted the combination to me. Was frustrating. Overall though we had a great weekend and found the house very comfortable and relaxing.

This is a beautiful property, is it has been thoughtfully designed and fitted out. Situated up on the hill it's a great walk down to Onetangi and back. The deck with great afternoon sun and the views and the wooden interior create a very restful spot. Would love to return...only question I thought there was a coffee maker..?? Didn't matter just made our morning walk more rewarding.. Thank you
