Sea La Vie - Luxury Accommodation

Sea La Vie is nestled amongst the bush, high on the hill in Onetangi with gorgeous expansive sea views out over Onetangi Bay, the gulf islands and back to the city. Come and enjoy the peace and tranquility, wake up to the Tui’s in the morning and be mesmerised by the beautiful sunsets at night.

A perfect retreat for discerning couples who wish to get away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.

Luxurious stand alone studio apartment and outdoor lounge area with off street parking, immaculately presented and extremely well appointed. Fully self contained including kitchen with fridge/freezer, dishwasher, microwave, ceramic hobs. LCD flat screen TV with Freeview. Stereo with Bluetooth for your tablet or smartphone. Super King bed, hair dryer and BBQ, all the amenities you need to enjoy a relaxed romantic holiday for two.

• Peacock Sky Vineyard is also a 5 min walk along Trig Hill Rd. The tasting room and restaurant are open Sat and Sun 11am to 4pm

• Eco Zip Adventures is a new tourist destination on Waiheke Island where you ride the flying fox zipline through the bush and then a guided forest walk back to the top. This attraction is also a 5 min walk away.

• Onetangi Beach is a few minutes drive away with its beautiful long stretch of white sand.

• Ki Maha, Charley Farleys and 372 Bar and Restaurants are located on the Strand at Onetangi Beach. All of these places have superb food and the best views on the Island.

We loved Waiheke Island and Sea La Vie was a magical place to stay. This was our favorite place after traveling in Australia and New Zealand for a month . Chrissy was so helpful in getting us familiar with the island and her favorite haunts. Lovely accommodations with amazing views. Convenient enough to explore the island or just stay put and enjoy the experience.

This was a surprise 3 night stay for my husbands 65th birthday. Chrissy haf a cold bottle of local wine waiting for us. The place beautifully done and in perfect condition. You will need a car or taxi as it is out of town and up a windy hill but the views are worth it. Thanks Chrissy.

Romantic Loft Apartment
Very modern loft apartment on the edge of private bush which provides amazing 160 degree views high above Onetangi near the Eco Zip Lining Adventure. We loved coming back to the apartment each evening after venturing out for the day. Chris and Paul keep well maintain beautifully landscaped gardens and the apartment has everything you need for your stay. We used the local laundromat in Ostend. Great opportunity to visit Man O War underground tunnels created in WWII, The Ostend Market on Saturday and Mudbrick Vineyard is a must do. Thanks to Chris & Paul for a fabulous Honeymoon, we loved staying here.
