Boutique Guesthouse
KiwiHouse is a boutique Waiheke retreat offering five thoughtfully appointed guest rooms set across two levels, surrounded by generous decks and a relaxed garden setting.
Perfectly positioned in Oneroa, Waiheke’s main village, KiwiHouse is just 5 minutes by taxi from Matiatia Ferry Terminal and 7 minutes by vehicle from Kennedy Point Car Ferry Wharf, making arrival effortless while still feeling quietly tucked away.
The house accommodates up to 10 guests, with three queen rooms with private ensuites and two twin single rooms with a shared bathroom on the first floor.
Designed with comfort and connection in mind, KiwiHouse offers a series of inviting shared spaces where guests can unwind at their own pace. Relax in the comfortable guest lounge, gather around the dining room to share stories from the day, or step outside onto the spacious decks and garden areas that provide peaceful corners for reading, conversation or simply enjoying the island air.
The atmosphere at KiwiHouse is warm, relaxed and welcoming — a place where slow mornings, sunset conversations and spontaneous moments naturally unfold. Guests often find themselves lingering over coffee, picking up one of the guitars available in the house, or settling into a quiet corner to enjoy the calm surroundings.
Whether you’re here for a weekend escape, celebrating a special occasion, or simply seeking a restful island stay, KiwiHouse offers a comfortable, boutique environment designed for easy living and memorable moments.
Your stay includes complimentary Nespresso coffee, tea, hot chocolate and organic milk, along with luxurious bed linen, soft bath towels, beach towels and guest toiletries.
Kitchenette Facilities
A guest kitchenette is available and includes a combination inverter microwave with grill and air-fry functions, crockery, serving bowls and a small fridge for guest use.
A BBQ is also available upon request.
Children & Extra Guests
KiwiHouse is designed as a peaceful adult retreat and does not accommodate babies or young children.
Each room accommodates a maximum of two guests, and we are unable to add additional beds.
The Pōhutukawa Room
The Pohutukawa Room is a beautifully appointed, spacious double retreat with sweeping sea views and its own private balcony — the perfect place to unwind with a glass of wine as the sun sets over Waiheke.
The room features a stylish ensuite bathroom, plush towels, premium toiletries, and a hairdryer for your comfort. Thoughtfully designed for rest and relaxation, it offers a peaceful haven to retreat to after a day exploring the island.
Guests also enjoy access to a shared kitchenette on the second level, where complimentary tea and coffee are available throughout your stay. A small fridge is provided to keep your Waiheke wines, cheeses, and local treats perfectly chilled for a relaxed evening in.
The Pōhutukawa, New Zealand’s beloved coastal tree, is a symbol of summer and timeless beauty. With its sculptural branches and vibrant crimson blossoms, it frames the shoreline in bursts of colour, offering shade, shelter, and a quiet sense of place that is unmistakably Aotearoa.
The Kōwhai Room
The Kowhai Room is a light-filled and tranquil retreat, offering peaceful views across the valley. Styled in fresh, calming tones, it features a comfortable queen bed and a private ensuite bathroom complete with plush towels, quality toiletries, and a hairdryer.
Guests also enjoy access to the shared balcony on the second floor — a lovely spot to take in the surrounding landscape, enjoy your morning coffee, or unwind as the day draws to a close.
The shared kitchenette on the second level offers complimentary tea and coffee throughout your stay, along with a small fridge for guest use — perfect for keeping your Waiheke wines and local delicacies chilled for a relaxed evening in.
The Kōwhai is one of New Zealand’s most treasured native trees, celebrated for its graceful branches and vibrant golden-yellow blossoms that appear in early spring. These luminous flowers are not only a beautiful signal of the changing season but also a vital food source for native birds, particularly the tūī and bellbird. Elegant and distinctly Aotearoa, the kōwhai has become a symbol of renewal, warmth, and the quiet beauty of New Zealand’s natural landscape.
The Tūī Room
The Tui Room is a beautifully light and inviting retreat, offering sweeping views towards Oneroa Village and the valley beyond. Bathed in natural light, the space feels effortlessly calm, airy and restorative — a serene escape with a warm, uplifting energy.
Generously proportioned and thoughtfully styled, the room features a comfortable seating area and shares access to a second-floor balcony — the perfect place to unwind with a morning coffee or evening glass of wine while taking in the outlook.
The room includes a well-appointed, compact ensuite with premium toiletries and a hairdryer provided for your comfort.
Guests also enjoy access to a shared kitchenette on Level 2, with complimentary tea and coffee available throughout your stay, along with a small guest fridge for added convenience.
The Tūī is one of New Zealand’s most distinctive native birds, admired for its iridescent plumage that shimmers in deep greens, blues, and bronzes, and the delicate white feather tufts at its throat. Known for its remarkable voice, the tūī fills the air with an extraordinary mix of melodic song, clicks, whistles, and playful mimicry. A familiar presence in native forests and coastal gardens, this charismatic bird is a symbol of Aotearoa’s vibrant wildlife and the lively soundtrack of the New Zealand landscape.
