The Sands - Apartment 25 - Onetangi Beach

Summary:

With wide views across Onetangi Bay and just seconds from the white sands of the beach, Apartment 25 offers relaxed, bright, two-bedroom coastal living at the quiet end of Onetangi Beach.



The Space:

This sunny apartment is designed for comfortable days by the sea. Large windows frame the blue water and bring natural light into the open-plan living, dining, and kitchen area. The layout keeps the apartment easy to use, with the main social spaces at the front and the bedrooms set back for privacy.



The living area has comfortable seating and a calm, beachside feel, with views out to the bay. The dining table sits beside the windows, making it an easy place for shared meals. The kitchen includes full-size appliances, good bench space, and everything needed for simple cooking at home.



Both bedrooms are well sized. The master has a queen bed and warm natural light. The second bedroom has two single beds, ideal for children or friends travelling together. Two bathrooms keep morning routines smooth.



Shared gas BBQs are available for guest use in the landscaped common area at The Sands.
