The Neighborhood:
Delamore Cove is located just above Oneroa Village, surrounded by native bush and overlooking the Hauraki Gulf. This part of the island feels quiet and private while remaining close to cafés, beaches, vineyards, and walking tracks.
Start the day with coffee at Wai Kitchen overlooking the bay or visit Fenice for relaxed breakfasts and long lunches. Cable Bay and Mudbrick Vineyard are only a few minutes away and are well known for local wines, seasonal food, and sunset views across the water toward the city.
The Te Ara Hura trail runs past the estate, connecting to coastal headlands, sculpture park routes, Blackpool Beach, and Oneroa Village. Oneroa Beach is also close by for swimming, picnics, and easy afternoons by the sea.
Getting Around:
Getting around from Delamore Cove is easy. The property is about a five-minute drive from the Matiatia passenger ferry terminal and just a few minutes from Oneroa Village, Little Oneroa Beach, and the island’s main bus routes.
If you’re not bringing a car, buses run regularly between the ferry, Oneroa, and Onetangi. The nearest stop is a short walk from the property, and most routes link to Waiheke’s beaches, cafés, and vineyards. It’s a simple, scenic way to explore the island at your own pace.
E-bikes and scooters can be hired in Oneroa if you’d prefer to ride, and there’s on-site parking just steps from the studio for guests with a vehicle.
