Blackpool House, Waiheke Island, Auckland, New Zealand

Relax in this secluded setting, close to the beaches amongst magnificent Taraire trees. Built with a couple in mind, this spacious architect designed house has been fitted out with a contemporary meets retro interior. A split level living space reaches out to the landscaped garden with two large decks that catch the sun at different times of the day.

A mezzanine library that looks out over the living space where you can lie back and read.

Further upstairs the treetop bedroom looks out across the valley down to Te Huruhi Bay. Lie back and watch the native birds fly through the canopy. There's a luxurious king size bed with all linen supplied. The adjacent bathroom has a large shower with a view out to the trees.

This sunny north facing retreat is only a 5 minute walk to Little Oneroa Beach, and 15 minutes walk to the Oneroa shops, restaurants and cafes. There are plenty of walking tracks and vineyards close by.
