Delamore Cove - Kowhai | Stay Waiheke

Summary:
Stunning views await you at the two-bedroom Kowhai apartment nestled in the private grounds of the gated Delamore Cove Estate.

The master bedroom has a queen bed, while the second bedroom features a bunk with a double on the bottom and single on top, ideal for families or small groups.

The Neighborhood:
From Delamore Cove by Stay Waiheke, everything that makes Waiheke special is close by. The estate sits just above Oneroa Village, surrounded by native bush and sea air, with easy access to cafés, vineyards, and walking tracks.

Start your morning with coffee at Wai Kitchen, overlooking the bay, or try Fenice for Italian-style breakfasts and long, wood-fired lunches. For something special, Cable Bay and Mudbrick Vineyard are only a few minutes away, both known for fine food, local wines, and sunset views across the Hauraki Gulf.

The Te Ara Hura trail passes right by the property entrance, winding north toward the headlands and sculpture park or south toward Blackpool Beach and the village. Oneroa Beach is just a short walk or drive for swimming and picnics, while Little Oneroa offers calm shallows and fish and chips under the pōhutukawa trees.

Evenings are unhurried here, dinner in the village, a glass of local wine, and the quiet drive back up the hill to the stillness of Delamore Cove.

Getting Around:
Getting around from Delamore Cove is simple and scenic. The property is about a five-minute drive from the Matiatia passenger ferry terminal and just minutes from Oneroa Village, Little Oneroa Beach, and the island’s main bus routes.

If you’re not bringing a car, buses run regularly between the ferry, Oneroa, and Onetangi. The nearest stop is a short walk from the property, and most routes connect easily to Waiheke’s beaches, cafés, and vineyards. It’s an easy, local way to explore, relaxed, friendly, and filled with views along the way.

E-bikes and scooters are available for hire in Oneroa if you’d like to move at your own pace, and there’s on-site parking right in front of the apartment for guests with a vehicle.

However you travel, Waiheke’s roads curve around sea views and vines, every trip a quiet reminder of where you are.
