This is what a bach should be - simple, functional and close to the sea. Fitted with 2 bedrooms and a bathroom plus a separate laundry in an adjacent building just outside the back door, set on a sunny site with plenty of grass to pitch tents. There's also a garage for the boat - even a sleepout!

Not many left in Oneroa these days, but the time has come to appreciate them even more, for they tell the story of Waiheke and that is a story that we are sure someone out there will want to experience for themselves and their family.

The garage is non-obtrusive just off the street, which means when sitting on the north side deck, just off the kitchen and lounge, you can enjoy the park-like grounds and wave to the neighbours passing by.

Convenient to everywhere you want to go - a flat walk to Blackpool Beach (under 200m) and not even 2km to the Matiatia ferry and, of course, Oneroa's cafes, shops and north side beach are all within 700m walk and there's a bus stop almost at the door.

The vendor, having well cared for this bach for nearly 30 years, is now ready to release it to the next generation.
