Cypress Ridge Estate Waiheke Island

When you first lay eyes on this mediterranean inspired home, located on a working olive grove and vineyard, it is hard to believe that you are not somewhere in Europe. Charming, full of character, and set amongst established gardens, Cypress Ridge Estate is a stunning Waiheke Island retreat.

Situated atop the ridge line in Onetangi, the house enjoys rural and sea views. The home features a large open plan living and dining area, complete with a roaring open fireplace, chefs kitchen and outdoor lounge area, with covered seating and an outdoor fire. The three bedrooms in the main house are all spacious, and two have an en suite. The fourth bedroom is located in a separate loft-style accommodation 20 metres from the main home, and is fully self contained, with a kitchenette, full bathroom, lounge area, fireplace and outdoor bath tub.

Guests can enjoy wandering through the olive grove and vineyard, enjoying harvest from the large kitchen garden, and find fresh eggs in the hen house on site. If you enjoy exploring, tramp through the native bush, with several 1000 year old trees, or enjoy a picnic in the shade overlooking the neighbouring vineyards.

Location wise, it doesn’t get much better for enjoying some of Waiheke Island’s highlights. The spectacular Onetangi Beach is a 10-minute down hill walk away, whilst a further 10-minute walk along the white sand beach will lead you to the local pub. Closer to home, one of Waiheke’s top restaurants (and a team favourite here at MajorDomo) Casita Miro shares a boundary with the property, as does Stoney Ridge, Te Motu and Obsidian.

Cypress Ridge Estate is a wonderful choice for a Waiheke Island getaway, and this home will leave you feeling like you have been transported to a luxury villa in Europe!
