49 Coromandel Road Oneroa, Waiheke Island

A treehouse above the sea, with Sandy Bay just a short walk away.

Set high among the trees, 49 Coromandel Road is a home that makes the most of its remarkable setting. From the upper-level living spaces, wide windows frame the sea and surrounding greenery, while sliding doors open to the deck and invite the outdoors in.

The main living area brings together a relaxed sitting space, dining area and kitchen beneath a high, timber-lined ceiling. On cooler days, the wood fire makes it a welcoming place to settle in. In the warmer months, open the doors and let the view, fresh air and sunlight take over.

There's a treehouse feeling here. Tui and Kereru move through the branches, and Kaka may glide past at eye level. Even inside, you're closely connected to the life of the bush.

A short bush trail leads to the Sandy Bay track, where a swim in the clear water can become part of the everyday. Back at home, the outdoor shower is a favourite place to rinse off and linger a little longer.

The 1,429 square metre section gives you room to entertain, garden or enjoy a quiet corner in the sun. Inside, three bedrooms are complemented by a study, adding flexibility for work, guests or family life.

At 49 Coromandel Road, the sea is in the view, the bush is at the window and the bay is close at hand. It's a special way to experience Waiheke Island.
