Seaside stay .Your stay at this Palm Beach apartment places you within 2 miles (3 km) of Catherine Mitchell Arts Centre and Anzac Bay. Hekerua Bay and Sandy Bay are also within 2 miles (3 km).
Just a short walk from Palm Beach, Hibiscus Hideaway is a bright, comfortable apartment with sea views, set within the Waiheke Resort complex. Designed for couples or solo travellers, it offers a relaxed base close to the beach, cafés, vineyards, and public transport.
The Space:
Hibiscus Hideaway is a self-contained apartment set within Waiheke Resort, positioned to take in light, sea air, and views across the palms toward the bay. The living area is open and welcoming, with glass doors leading out to a private deck that works well for morning coffee or a quiet drink at the end of the day.
Inside, the layout is simple and practical. The lounge and dining area sit alongside a compact kitchenette equipped for breakfasts and light meals. The bedroom is calm and comfortable, with a super king bed that can be split into singles on request prior to arrival. The bathroom is modern and includes a walk-in shower.
The apartment suits guests wanting an easy, low-maintenance stay, close to the beach and village life, without the need for a car.

Check-in is from 2:00 pm and check-out is by 10:30 am. Early check-in or late check-out may be available for an additional fee and can be confirmed closer to arrival, subject to same-day changeovers.
Please note:
Pool facilities at Waiheke Resort are not complimentary for apartment guests. Pool access is available for a fee of $10 per adult, per day. Children under 12 may access the pool free of charge with adult supervision. All adults accessing the pool area must pay the daily fee.
The on-site restaurant and bar are open to the public.
The Neighborhood:
Hibiscus Hideaway is located within Waiheke Resort, around a five-minute walk from Palm Beach. Palm Beach is known for safe swimming, a relaxed atmosphere, and easy access to a small local store for coffee, ice creams, and essentials.
Arcadia Waiheke is nearby and popular for casual meals and good coffee. Oneroa Village is a short drive or bus ride away and offers supermarkets, cafés, boutiques, galleries, and evening dining options including Fenice and The Oyster Inn.
Several of Waiheke’s well-known vineyards, including Tantalus Estate, Stonyridge, and Casita Miro, are within easy reach.
Getting Around:
The nearest bus stop on Palm Road is a short walk from the apartment. Buses run regularly between Palm Beach, Oneroa Village, Onetangi Beach, and the Matiatia ferry terminal.
This makes it easy to explore the island without driving. The route passes near major vineyards before continuing into Oneroa and on to the ferry.
Taxis and rideshare services operate on the island but can be expensive during peak periods. E-bikes and scooters are available for hire in Oneroa for guests wanting a slower way to explore.
Other Things to Note:
Like many Waiheke homes, the apartment runs on rainwater, so we ask guests to use it thoughtfully during their stay.
Minimum stay requirements apply, seven nights from mid-December to mid-January, three nights on holiday weekends, and two nights at all other times.

The apartment is set up for a private and independent stay.

I thought the beds were hard and the pillows uncomfortable. I didn’t like the fact we had to tidy up. I didn’t realise this before I booked. There was no wifi or sky.
