The location is absolutely perfect, right across the road from a cute little bay where you can swim at high tide. The house was comfortable with everything we needed to relax and enjoy ourselves. The perfect base for an escape on the island!

Company info

At Waiheke Unlimited we offer a personally selected portfolio of private holiday homes ranging from Luxury Hi End Estates through to family friendly Cottages. What ever you are looking for we are sure you will find it here with us. Our properties are located around the island in areas such as in Oneroa, Palm Beach and Onetangi, and offer the finest Waiheke holiday homes within their categories of Luxury Estates, Premium Holiday Houses, Quintessential Kiwi Cottages and our 1- and 2-bedroom Villas in Palm Beach.

Property info

This 4.5 bedroom character filled cottage, has gone through a complete make over where the inside was gutted and replaced with modern facilities and furnishings, but we have definitely kept the old world style being Retro which has a delightful charm and feel to it. This is a classic property, which perfectly represents the type of bach the grand parents used to have, many of you may remember such a place in your youth, where as kids, we loved the situation of being able to spend all day on the beach and run home without having to worry about sand on our feet or being told off by the oldies for making a mess. Drop Anchor is one of very few properties remaining in that original state, a real classic gem and now also very comfortably appointed.

Neighborhood info

Waiheke is about 92 square kms in area, measuring 25 kms long and 20 kms across at its widest point. The island comprises of 9,324 hectares and approximately 43 kms of beaches, 24 kms of tidal flats. Rich in natural beauty Waiheke's coastline unfolds to reveal stunning white and golden sand beaches, rocky foreshores and estuaries rich in native bird life. You'll lose ten years the moment you step ashore on Waiheke Island - a magical Island paradise just 35 minutes from Auckland. Easily accessed by ferry. Waiheke's beautiful beaches and native forest reserves harmonize delightfully with the cafes, vineyards and art studios. The Island has a maritime climate - warm temperatures, less humidity, less rain and more sunshine than Auckland. Although Waiheke is a stones throw away from the biggest city in New Zealand, the view of the Pacific from Oneroa is uninterrupted by any other larger island until it halts at Chile. At the Eastern end of the Island is Stony Batter, the site of World War II gun emplacements, strategically placed to defend Auckland against possible invasion. This island is perfect for a day's shopping and wine tasting, or several days of indulgent relaxation
