About This Property
This beautiful waiheke Island property is sparkling and bright! Located in a wonderful tranquil spot just 4 houses back from the beach at Huruhi Bay and with lovely views of the bay and over the pony club fields opposite. Just 6 or 7 minutes pleasant walk will bring you to the heart of Oneroa Village with it's array of shops, cafes and restaurants, and the delicious all tide swimming and beach at Oneroa Beach.
The open plan living, dining and kitchen is spacious and airy with large glass doors opening from both sides of the living room onto spacious decks. Lovely seaviews from both bedrooms and the front deck. Set in the prettily landscaped garden is the charming studio cottage, just a few paces from the house and yet perfectly private with it's own bathroom and covered verandah.
The gardens include an abundance of mature fruit trees - enjoy picking and eating fresh from the tree nectarines, grapefruit, plums and Lemons in season. This property is just lovely and is in a wonderful central, yet 'out of the way' location. Perfect for a peaceful holiday.

“Great place to stay. Quiet, handy to town, a stroll to the water and very comfortable. Was a great place for a holiday with our adult children and there partners.
Would stay there again.”
Review by Vanessa (Stayed in September)
“Thanks so much for the use of your wonderful house. We had a great time and really enjoyed our stay. The house was perfect for us (3 couples) and very well located. It was clean and tidy and we very much appreciated that it had supplies of everything - like all those littles bits and pieces for when you are cooking. There was plenty of room and we were able to relax and enjoy our time. We appreciated the third night free (even though we didn't use it) as it enabled us to have a leisurely pack up on Sunday morning. Will definitely come back some time.
Thoroughly recommend this property and also the service from Waiheke Holiday Homes - easy and seamless.
Thanks!”

“We stayed at Tranquil Waters and it was really great, very comfortable with a very lovely outlook. Once we had found the quick route to Oneroa we enjoyed the chance for a morning walk.
The beds were very comfortable and we really binged out on Netflix after spending a few hours at various wineries. (Thank you Jennifer for helping us with the Netflix!)
That and the opportunity to read books made it a very relaxing holiday. Would rent it again.”

“This was our second stay at Tranquil Shores and we enjoyed it in winter as well as in summer! The house is well appointed with everything you need (maybe a sandwich maker/ panini toaster would be great) It is a very restful outlook with views to the bay, horses in the paddock over the road and although the house itself is quite small it is lovely and light and not overlooked. The bonus is the outside studio with bathroom which worked perfectly for our 3 generation family. We had a lovely restful break. Thank you so much for a lovely stay. Very good value, especially in the winter, with the pay 2 stay for 3 nights offer.”

“This was our second stay and loved our time there again.
Sunny, peaceful and relaxed.”
Review by Bernadine (Stayed in December)
“The set-up of this house is sensational. There is everything you could want from decent wine glasses through to staples in the pantry, dinner set and great cooking utensils. The house is exceptionally clean, good quality linen, comfy beds, quiet street and a beautiful colourful garden. There are lots of walks nearby and a 10 minute stroll up to Oneroa shops and the main beach. There are also three bathrooms which can be handy with family/guests. The little outside studio is picturesque. Loved everything about it and the sea views from the bedrooms are fab. The only recommendation would be proper rubbish bins for rubbish and recycling that we saw at other houses instead of the big plastic bag and not easy to put out your paper/cardboards and bottles etc as they have to be in separate plastic bags. Otherwise 10/10 and can’t recommemd highly enough. So quiet and peaceful yet so close to everything (bus stops up the road too if you have lots of bags). ”

“Great weekend had on Waiheke. Accomodation great and definitely would recommend for family or group who just wanted a laid back break.”
Review by Mel (Stayed in February)
“We had an amazing time, thank you! And the property was everything we had hoped for. Beautifully presented, very clean & had everything we needed for the week. We felt right at home straight away. We loved the fact that it looked onto the pony club, and had a little view of the sea too. And after a busy day on Oneroa beach, it was great to come back to the peace & quiet of Blackpool Bay. Loved it”

Review by Andrea (Stayed in January)
“We had a lovely stay. It’s always so nostalgic going back to Waiheke as I grew up in NZ and have fond memories of this Island. It was a special time for us as the children connect every year and we try a new place every year. We didn’t want to leave and would look to come back for a week next year around the same time.”
Review by Sarah (Stayed in January)
“Cannot recommend Tranquil Shores highly enough. It’s been a beautiful location looking out on Huruhi Bay and the horses every evening. Totally peaceful and so easy to walk to Oneroa. The property itself is very well laid out, very well stocked with everything you need, more than spacious enough for six. One of the nicest places we have stayed in. The agents have been very good and responsive when we wanted to increase the number of guests staying and the lady managing the property was great when we had a slight problem with the gas bottle for the BBQ - she immediately provided us a replacement within 15 mins. Would highly recommend it and will come again. “”
Review by Julie (Stayed in January)
“The property was brilliant . There was nothing that we would have needed . The house with the little flat out the back suited our extended family perfectly.”
Review by Rosamund (Stayed in January)
“We loved our stay at Tranquil Shores. A short stroll to the township, yet so quiet! Very comfortable set-up, beautiful peaceful setting, lovely garden, and having the en-suite sleepout was an added bonus. We would recommend this place to everyone”
Review by Helen (Stayed in December)
“We absolutely loved our stay at this property. It is light, very well-equipped and modern. Such a quiet area of the island, too...just beautiful! The little cottage is really nice and our parents happily stayed there, and the garden is beautifully maintained. We really appreciated the good wifi, dishwasher, and really good washing machine & dryer. It was extremely clean and overall just a pleasure to stay at - we will certainly try to book it again next time we are in Waiheke. We had a minor issue with the Wifi and the property manager got back to me immediately to sort it out, really impressive.”
