About this property

Karaka Retreat - Poolside on Waiheke

Summary:

Set amongst lush tropical gardens and overlooking Hekerua Bay, Karaka Retreat is a relaxed Waiheke escape designed for effortless island living, with sea views, a heated pool and beautiful outdoor spaces to enjoy year-round.



The Space:

Light-filled interiors open onto expansive wraparound decking, creating seamless indoor-outdoor flow and multiple spaces to relax, entertain and unwind. Spend long summer days by the heated pool, enjoy evening dinners under the covered outdoor entertaining area, or simply soak in the peaceful views from the sun-drenched living spaces.



The home is beautifully styled throughout, with generous open-plan living, a modern well-equipped kitchen and four spacious bedrooms thoughtfully set up for families and multi-generational stays. Several bedrooms connect directly to the deck, while the master suite enjoys elevated bay views.



Downstairs, a separate rumpus-style retreat complete with pool table offers an additional space for kids, teenagers or guests to spread out.

Perfectly positioned close to Palm Beach, Enclosure Bay and Sandy Bay via nearby walking paths, the home offers the ideal balance of privacy, comfort and convenience. Oneroa Village, wineries and dining destinations are all just a short drive away.



With easy access and ample onsite parking for multiple vehicles and a boat, Karaka Retreat is the perfect base for a memorable Waiheke stay.



Getting Around:

Waiheke Island is known for its beautiful beaches, boutique vineyards, coastal walks and relaxed island pace. Spend your days swimming, wine tasting, exploring local markets and enjoying long lunches by the water – all just a short ferry ride from Auckland.
