Summary:
Set in an elevated position in Ostend with views across Palm Beach, Crescent Villa is a spacious island home with wide verandas, leafy surrounds, and room for families or groups to settle in comfortably. With five bedrooms including a separate sleepout, generous living areas, and relaxed outdoor spaces, it offers an easy base close to beaches, vineyards, and village hubs.
The Space:
Crescent Villa sits in an elevated, leafy position, looking out across Palm Beach and the surrounding coastline. The setting feels calm and private, while remaining well connected to beaches, cafés, and the center of the island. High ceilings, polished timber floors, and wraparound verandas give the home a sense of space that feels both generous and grounded, with natural light and sea breezes moving easily through the house.
The open plan living, dining, and kitchen area forms the heart of the home. A long dining table works well for shared meals, while comfortable seating looks out to the garden and trees beyond. Doors open onto the verandas, creating multiple places to sit, read, or enjoy the outlook throughout the day.

Sleeping is spread across the main house and a separate sleepout. In the main house, there are three queen bedrooms and a larger bedroom with a super king bed that can be split into singles on request. Two family-style bathrooms serve the main house, each with both a bath and a shower.
The separate sleepout has a queen bed and external access. Please note the sleepout does not have its own bathroom, making it best suited to guests who are comfortable using the bathrooms in the main house.
Outdoor living is a highlight at Crescent Villa. Wide verandas frame leafy outlooks and views across Palm Beach, while the garden below adds privacy and a quiet, green feel. A barbecue is set up for easy summer meals, and the outdoor shower is useful after beach days or walks.
Crescent Villa is an easy, well-laid-out home designed for unhurried island stays, with space to come together and room to spread out.

The Neighborhood:
Crescent Villa sits in Ostend in an elevated, leafy setting overlooking Palm Beach. This central location makes it easy to move between beaches, cafés, vineyards, and village hubs without long drive times.
Palm Beach is one of Waiheke’s most popular swimming beaches and is well suited to relaxed mornings by the sea. Arcadia and the Palm Beach Store sit just behind the sand and are easy options for coffee, breakfast, or casual dinners.
Onetangi Beach is only a short drive away and offers a long stretch of sand lined with beachfront cafés and nearby vineyards, making it a popular spot for extended beach days and long lunches.
Ostend itself is close by and works as a practical hub, with supermarkets, casual eateries, and the popular Saturday market. Oneroa Village is around ten minutes away and provides boutiques, galleries, bakeries, and dining options.
For guests wanting to explore, Waiheke Zipline Adventure Park is also nearby and offers a scenic way to see the island from above, set among native bush with coastal views.
Getting Around:
The nearest bus stop is a short walk from the villa on the main Palm Beach and Ostend route. Buses run regularly from Palm Beach and Ostend, continuing through Vineyard Valley and stopping near well known wineries including Stonyridge, Tantalus Estate, and Te Motu, before travelling on to Oneroa Village and the passenger ferry terminal at Matiatia.
The Heke is also nearby and is a popular stop for wood fired dishes, craft beer, and a relaxed garden bar.
Taxi services operate year round, though availability and pricing can vary during busy periods. Walking tracks in the area link beaches, bush reserves, and vineyard areas for guests who enjoy exploring on foot.
Other Things to Note:
