About this property
26 Upland Road is nestled in Omiha, also known as Rocky Bay, offering "the real Waiheke" experience. A true hidden gem, this off-the-beaten-track location is far removed from the island's tourist hubs. Just 250 metres from the entrance to the 270-hectare Whakanewha Regional Park, it also sits only 4km from the social and recreational heart of the island-Onetangi Straight, or "The Strip"-home to Wild, Te Motu, Stonyridge, Tantalus and Heke Breweries. With the Kennedy Point car ferry just 15 minutes away, you can enjoy drive-on, drive-off convenience and avoid the crowds of Matiatia and Oneroa altogether.After a morning walk to Batch Winery or a round of golf, return to this sun-soaked sanctuary-arguably positioned in one of the best spots in the entire bay. Set on an elevated quarter-acre site, the home enjoys protected, mesmerising panoramic views across the surrounding sea to Auckland city, with incredible, ever-changing sunsets. A true perch for any telescope-wielding owner.
The home comprises five bedrooms, two bathrooms, and generous open-plan living designed for entertaining. It was comprehensively renovated in 2017, with all consented works completed-including new wiring and plumbing, lighting, pump, hot water cylinder, and structural work to incorporate the privately positioned spa pool. Additional features include a single garage, an expansive wrap-around Vitex deck, and a full exterior repaint completed in 2024.
Established gardens with meandering walkways surround the home, while a gated concrete driveway provides secure off-street parking for up to three additional vehicles-an amenity rarely found "on the rock," offering both convenience and peace of mind for family and guests.
The current owners have successfully operated the property as an Airbnb, hosting visitors from around the world, as recorded in the guestbook. Short-term accommodation has generated approximately $40,000 gross per annum over around 25% occupancy, providing an attractive income stream that could be continued if desired.
After nearly a decade of ownership, the vendors are ready to pass the torch. This is a place where tans are always topped up, unforgettable memories are made, and family legacies are built. Don't take our word for it-experience it for yourself. Contact Ross or Carl to arrange your viewing.
