Ostend House | Overview by Stay Waiheke

1 Bedroom House in Ostend, Waiheke Island

Summary:
Overview is a peaceful hideaway set high above the island, offering uninterrupted views across the ocean, valleys, and rolling hills, and absolute privacy with no neighbours in sight. This is a place to slow down, breathe deeply, and take in the beauty of Waiheke from your own hilltop perch.
The Space:
Perched on a ridgeline with sweeping views in every direction, Overview by Stay Waiheke is a stand-alone retreat designed for quiet escapes and simple living. Large windows and sliding doors frame the outlook from the living area, bedroom, and deck, making the landscape feel like part of the home itself.
Inside, the space is warm and welcoming, with a cosy lounge, comfortable furnishings, and a log-burning fire that makes winter stays just as inviting as long summer evenings. The home runs on solar power, giving it a gentle footprint while still providing the modern comforts you need. The kitchen is fully equipped for relaxed cooking, and the outdoor deck is the perfect spot for slow breakfasts, sunset wine, or simply watching the weather shift across the water.
This is a place where you wake up to birdsong, linger over views that stretch for miles, and feel wonderfully removed from the everyday.

Bedroom 1 – king bed

Spend the day exploring local favourites such as Onetangi, Palm Beach, or Oneroa, or head to vineyards like Mudbrick, Stonyridge, Cable Bay, and Tantalus for long, lazy lunches.

Summary: Great place, with everything we needed. Best part was the views and lovely deck to enjoy them on. Very private, but definitely need the 4wd to get up the driveway as listed.
Kathleen M. Feb 17, 2025 01:50:04 PM
Summary: Great view. Peaceful and relaxing.
Derek R. May 12, 2024 11:57:51 AM
Summary: So very relaxing simply not only enjoying the vistas from every angle this unpretentious little hut offers but also the fact that it caters so adequately for all the basic needs one has - without a television set. Loved our stay even though the driveway is somewhat terrifying. Property management staff outstanding.
Andrew J. Apr 15, 2024 09:57:22 AM
Summary: The property is gorgeous—extremely secluded, with stunning views (even by Waiheke standards!) of multiple bays and vineyards. The house is small but well-equipped, modern, and clean. No surprises. If you want somewhere to just hang out and chill it would be hard to beat. The flip-side of the seclusion is you will probably have to drive (or be driven) anywhere you want to go. (Casita Miro is a half-hour walk; Ostend is probably about a 25 minute walk.) This was fine for us as we had previously been staying elsewhere on the island and so just wanted somewhere quiet. I wouldn’t call it a negative—just something to be aware of. Booking, check-in and check-out were all easy.
Mark C. Mar 29, 2024 10:20:47 AM
Summary: Beautiful spot out of the way but not too far away from everything you need. Cute and cosy place with spectacular views.
Chloe M. Feb 6, 2024 01:47:02 PM
Summary: Loved staying here. The property is perched on a hill and the views are incredible. Would recommend!
Justin V. Oct 26, 2023 07:17:31 AM
Summary: We love the secluded location, with magnificent views wherever you look. The accommodation provided everything you need and it was great to get away from TV and just enjoy nature.
