Outdoor Living
Outdoor living is at the heart of Tidewatch. A spacious, covered entertaining area features comfortable lounge seating and a large dining table, all framed by beautiful timber detailing and spectacular coastal views. It's the perfect setting for leisurely breakfasts, long lunches, afternoon drinks or relaxed evenings with family and friends.
Just beyond the entertaining area, a private spa pool sits amongst lush greenery, offering another wonderful vantage point overlooking the water. Imagine sinking into the warm water after a day exploring the island, watching the changing light across the bay as the afternoon draws to a close.
An outdoor shower is another welcome addition, ideal for rinsing off after a swim or a day spent on Onetangi's beautiful beach.

The living spaces connect naturally with the outdoors, allowing guests to move easily between the comfort of the house and the expansive entertaining areas. Whether you're spending your days out exploring or simply enjoying the property, the home provides a welcoming base to return to.
High-speed internet ensures everyone can stay connected, whether you're catching up on a little work, streaming your favourite programmes or planning the next day's adventures.
Bedrooms and Bathrooms
Tidewatch comfortably accommodates a maximum of eight guests across four bedrooms and two bathrooms, making it an excellent choice for families, groups of friends or couples travelling together.
Upstairs, three compact but well-appointed bedrooms, two with queen beds and one with a double, each with practical storage, and their own fan and heater for year-round comfort. The two front bedrooms enjoy wonderful sea views across Onetangi Beach and the surrounding coastline, providing a beautiful outlook to wake up to each morning. A family bathroom serves all three upstairs bedrooms.
Downstairs, a separate queen bedroom suite with its own private bathroom is accessed via an external staircase, offering an additional level of privacy and independence from the main living areas.
