Escape to Serenity: Your Island Sanctuary at Moana Retreat, Waiheke Island

Tucked away on the sun-drenched shores of Putaki Bay, Moana Retreat offers more than just a place to sleep—it promises a complete and tranquil escape into the heart of Waiheke Island’s natural beauty. This fully independent haven, located at 87 Donald Bruce Road, is the perfect base for travellers seeking privacy, comfort, and a genuine connection with the island’s laid-back charm.

A Home Away From Home, With a View

Moana Retreat is designed for seamless living. As a standalone property, it guarantees ultimate privacy from your own private entrance to the spacious balcony and terrace overlooking the bay. The open-plan living area is both stylish and practical, featuring a well-equipped kitchen (complete with oven, dishwasher, and coffee machine), a comfortable lounge, and a dedicated dining space—ideal for preparing a feast with local produce.
