Skomer House – Sea Views & Central Waiheke Living

Summary:

Set high above Huruhi Bay with wide sea views and all-day sun, Skomer House is a relaxed Waiheke retreat designed for easy island living. Light-filled and spread across two levels, this coastal family home offers space to unwind while staying close to the best of the island.



The Space:

Upstairs, the open-plan living, dining, and kitchen areas flow out to a sunny deck overlooking the bay - perfect for slow mornings, shared meals, and evenings in the sea breeze. Large windows throughout bring in plenty of natural light and make the most of the elevated outlook.



Downstairs, a second living area creates a separate space for children, teenagers, or guests to relax, giving everyone room to spread out and enjoy their stay.

Located in the heart of the island, Skomer House is just a short drive from Oneroa Village, Palm Beach, vineyards, and local dining spots. Kennedy Point vehicle ferry is nearby for easy arrivals, while Ostend’s supermarket and Saturday Farmers Market are close by for island essentials.
