General Overview

Amazing views across Rocky bay and on the other side back over the Hauraki Gulf to Auckland. Nestled amongst huge Pohutukawa trees, above Rocky Bay. Private and north facing with sun all day - warm and cozy.

The Space

Open plan kitchen/dining/living area it flows directly to the deck with a fabulous view, BBQ and outdoor table. Two double bedrooms: 1 king and 1 double bed. Separate laundry and family bathroom. This compact house has everything you'll need for a classic beach/bush Waiheke experience. This is a very sunny, well laid out, 65m2 holiday home that looks over Rocky Bay,

Guest Access

Car parking on the road, at the bottom of path, there is the possibility of using our Lexus SUV. We are on a narrow dirt road but only 80m to the bus stop for access to wineries, restaurants, supermarket and other beaches. We have a long zig zag 80m path uphill to our house - it is sloping but no stairs.

Notes

There are a lot of permanent residents in Rocky Bay and they are very friendly and helpful.

Neighbourhood

Positioned above Rocky Bay Boating Club, close to the community hall that on is a popular cafe in the weekends and has BYO drinks on the first Friday of every month. Close to the starting point of magnificent coastal and bush Department of Conservation walks. There is a local tennis and petanque court withing walking distance and the beach is just below the house.

Getting to my home

40minute ferry ride from Auckland city and then a 20minute drive or taxi. Buses depart from the wharf after the arrival of each ferry - we are the last stop on the 502 Rocky Bay Bus route. Just follow the narrow dirt road from where the bus stops, above the beach and we are the second property. There is a set of stairs to the path by the letterbox or you can take avoid the steps and take the path next to the lamppost. If you drive from the house to spend the day in Auckland, you can park the car at the ferry terminal carpark.

Philip

Our family consists of: Philip Davis, my wife Patricia Jean-Louis and our son Alexander Davis who is 25 years old. We love to ski, play tennis, and 'easy' hikes. We enjoy watching F1, rugby, a bit of cricket and movies. We like good food and wine and believe that we are good cooks and love meeting new people of all cultures. Philip was born in New Zealand, but has lived in France for many years and USA working for French companies. He is fluent in French and very much a Francophile. Patricia was born in Mauritius of French parents. but came to New Zealand very young and is bilingual. Philip is about to retire from his real estate business and Patricia is a Volunteer Guide at Auckland Art Gallery. We both love music and the arts - and we like to dance! We are keen for new adventures!
