The Boat House at Arran Bay is a spectacular family holiday home in one of the most stunning locations on Waiheke Island. The home has been in the same family for nearly 20 years and this is the first time it has been offered for holiday rental. This is an opportunity to stay in a part of the island which is rarely available to tourists.

Arran Bay is off the beaten track around 25 minutes’ drive from Onetangi and requiring a 4WD vehicle in order to access the private driveway. It is one of the oldest inhabited bays on Waiheke and many of the houses are over 100 years old.

The local area is a hotbed for wine production, with Man O’War, Passage Rock and Awaroa vineyards all just a few minutes’ drive away. Even closer than that is the Waiheke Distillery, with fabulous handcrafted gins, a range of cocktails and great food just 5 minutes from the house. A little further afield, Onetangi and its range of bars restaurants and shops is just a 20 minute drive. The location is also very close to amazing WWII tunnels with guided tours offering a glimpse back into Waiheke’s past.

With 4 bedrooms, plus caravan sleepout, 2 bathrooms, summer house, boat shed and private beach access with a mooring, this property is a wonderful family home with all the amenities required to be able to sleep up to 8 adults and 12 guests in total.

“This is a truly spectacular holiday home in a unique location. Very few people ever get to experience a summer break in historic Arran Bay, it offers a trip back in time to an era where Waiheke was not easily accessible to the public and day trippers came from Coromandel to bathe in the sunshine in this magnificent bay.”
