Summary:
Laid-back and bright, Bach 14 is a relaxed family base near Oneroa Village, an easy, comfortable spot made for simple beach days and unhurried evenings.
The Space:
Bach 14 by Stay Waiheke feels like holidays used to, easy, open, and filled with light. Mornings start with coffee on the deck, the sound of birds drifts across the garden. Doors stay open all day, connecting the kitchen, lounge, and deck into one generous, relaxed space made for family time.
Inside, the home features modern furnishings and thoughtful touches that keep the space feeling fresh and relaxed. The kitchen sits at the centre, fully equipped for family meals and shared moments, the kind of space where breakfast drifts into conversation and dinner prep feels like part of the holiday.
Bach 14 has the familiar feel of a classic Waiheke bach, updated with modern touches and a layout that suits families or small groups. The kitchen, lounge, and deck connect as one open space, keeping everyone together throughout the day. Mornings often start on the deck with coffee and bird song, and doors stay open as the day drifts between the house, lawn, and garden.
The main cottage includes three bedrooms and one bathroom. The master opens directly to the deck, the double room is soft and light, and the twin room works well for children. All rooms have comfortable beds and simple, uncluttered styling.
Across the flat, fenced lawn sits a detached studio with its own bedroom and bathroom, ideal for grandparents, friends, or teens wanting extra privacy. The fully enclosed garden offers plenty of room for kids to play and for adults to relax under the trees.
The home feels easy from morning to evening, shared meals, time in the garden, movies at night, and the simple rhythm of island days.

Buses run directly through the vineyard valley and stop near:
Tantalus Estate
Stonyridge
Te Motu
These wineries offer long lunches and tastings in the Onetangi Valley.
For something more relaxed, The Heke Brewery and Distillery is nearby, a local favourite for craft beer, small-batch spirits, and hearty food. The bus stops right outside the gate.

E-bikes are also a popular way to explore beaches, vineyards, and the village at an easy pace.
Other Things to Note:
Waiheke relies entirely on rainwater tanks, and water is a limited natural resource on the island. To support sustainable living and protect local supply, especially during the drier summer months we ask guests to be mindful of their water use throughout their stay.
Minimum stays:
7 nights mid-December to mid-January
3 nights on long weekends
2 nights at all other times
