Fairview Apartment - Unit 1
Summary:
Set high above Putiki Bay, Fairview Apartment by Stay Waiheke, Unit 1 is a calm, modern retreat on a peaceful ten-acre property. With wide views across sea and farmland, it’s a quiet space to unwind but close to everything you’ll want to see and do on the island.
The Space:
The apartment is bright and sunny, designed with comfort and ease in mind. There’s a full kitchen, a brand-new bathroom, and a comfortable lounge area with Smart TV, Wi-Fi, and premium linen, every detail considered for an easy stay.
You’re close to Waiheke’s best-known vineyards and restaurants, with beaches, walks, and golf all within a short drive. After a day out, you can cook at home, pour a glass of something local, and enjoy the stillness of the property as the light fades over the bay.
The property sits down a long gravel road from the main road, private, quiet, and part of what makes it feel like a true escape.

A short drive brings you to the vineyards of Mudbrick, Cable Bay, and Tantalus Estate, each known for their wine tastings and long lunches. For a more casual evening, The Heke Kitchen, Brewery & Distillery is a local favourite, open-air dining, craft beer, and a live DJ on Friday afternoons through summer.

Getting around from Fairview Apartment is easy. The nearest bus stop is about a minute’s walk away, with regular routes running between the Matiatia ferry terminal, Oneroa Village, and Onetangi Beach.

Booking Bookabach and StayWaiheke
All great with property but a bit confused why I had my booking confirmed by Bookabach then I had to give my credit card details to Stay Waiheke. I was reluctant at first as I thought it could be a scam as Booking numbers were different. Then I saw on the bookabach confirmation that Stay Waiheke was to be used. I did put my details in and dealt with them from then on.

A true hidden hideaway
What an amazing place to spend a few days away. Such a cute little unit with everything you need. Very modern, up to date, clean place. Hidden down a long driveway, you are given immense privacy. Close to everything you need as well with amazing hospitality. I would recommend this place and will be sure to come again.

Awesome place for honeymoon retreat
Loved the place and nice and centrally located to beaches and places to visit. Liked the long gravel drive which added to the experience. First time on Waiheke for us and was made so easy and friendly by hosts especially since it was our honeymoon. Next time we would take up offer of using vehicle as would be well worth it.

The perfect place for a holiday
Fairview Apartments offer exceptional accommodation. They are located very close to Palm Beach but are far enough from the road to be utterly peaceful and quiet (apart from the bird-song.) The facilities are very well-designed and very comfortable. The bathroom is brilliant. The hosts - Andy and Ruth - are very kind, thoughtful and generous. We loved every minute of our stay at this property.

Perfect Jet Lag Decompression
A perfect short stay to recover from our flight from UK. Wonderful comfy bed and very stylish interior. Thanks to Andy for use of car and helping with our washing. Not a reflection of the property but didn’t find the online booking with Bookabach as slick as AirBnB . Geoff and Linda

Pristine, serene and so generous
After many stays at Waiheke's various Airbnb accommodations, this is the nicest we've found. Really a gem, so we're almost tempted to keep quiet about this find. It has splendid views. It is extremely quiet and serene, with only nature and animals around you, but it is still just minutes from Ostend. The whole place is superbly immaculate, well stocked with everything, nice linen and a luxurious bed, Sky TV, kitchen, etc. Everything you ever would want in a place. Last, our host Andy let us borrow his old, but very comfortable BMW 320i during our entire stay. How can you beat that? We will obviously stay here for all future Waiheke trips. J and T Saloranta

Above and beyond expectation
Andrew knows exactly how a guest would like to be treated and goes well and truly out of his way to make this happen. I have yet to stay in accommodation elsewhere where the owner is happy to pick you up from public transport and then lets you borrow his vehicle to ensure that you maximise the enjoyment out of your stay. The accommodation was spotless, well designed, tastefully decorated and everything we needed to be able to relax and use as a base in preparation for a friend's wedding. Added toys to accommodate our toddler were also a perfect touch. Thanks again Andrew for your hospitality. I recommend Fairview Apartment 100%. Little tip for the traveller would be to get in contact about the car as early as possible to avoid any disappointment from what I have mentioned above.

Amazing accomodation, almost brand new and very clean
We had enjoyed so much our stay at Fairview apartments. I have very high standards for cleanliness and the place was above my standards. The unit is very tastefully furnished and decorated. Andy is a fantastic host and he even gave us a courtesy car which made a huge difference to our stay in Waiheke 😇 we will definitely come back and book the two units together to bring over the rest of the family. Thank you so much Andy and Ruth
