The kitchenette is well equipped for simple meals or longer stays. The studio also includes a flat-screen TV, Netflix, Starlink Wi-Fi, and a washer and dryer for added convenience. The modern ensuite bathroom is light and fresh, and the queen bed is fitted with quality linens for a comfortable night’s sleep.

The Neighborhood:

Delamore Cove sits just above Oneroa Village, surrounded by native bush, sea air, and views across the Hauraki Gulf. It’s a quiet, premium part of the island with fast access to everything that makes Waiheke feel effortless.



Start the day with a coffee at Wai Kitchen overlooking the bay or enjoy brunch at Fenice. Cable Bay and Mudbrick Vineyard are only a few minutes away, both known for exceptional food, local wine, and sunsets across the water toward the city.



The Te Ara Hura trail runs directly past the estate, with access to coastal headlands, sculpture park routes, Blackpool Beach, and the village. Oneroa Beach is only a short drive, or an easy walk, ideal for swimming, picnics, and slow afternoons on the sand.



In the evenings, return to the calm of Kauri Studio after dinner in the village or a wine tasting at one of the nearby vineyards.



Getting Around:

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



If you’re not bringing a car, buses run regularly from Onetangi through Oneroa and on to the ferry, stopping at all major beaches and wineries, including Mudbrick, Cable Bay, and The Heke. E-bikes and scooters can be hired in Oneroa, and there’s on-site parking just a few steps from the studio for those with a vehicle.



Other Things to Note:

This is a self-catered holiday home, not a fully catered stay. We provide a starter supply of essentials such as toilet paper, coffee, tea, and milk to help you settle in on arrival. Once these starter items have been used, guests are responsible for purchasing any additional supplies needed during their stay.



For properties with a fireplace, stays between 1 June and 30 September include a starter supply of firewood. Additional firewood can be purchased from local petrol stations, Woolworths, Four Square, and PlaceMakers.



Beach towels are provided at properties with an available pool or spa. Guests staying at properties without a pool or spa will need to bring their own beach towels.

There is a plunger for making coffee.
