Onemana is just stunning. A cut above most other places on the coast.

It was once a seashore farm, and its developers recognised the potential of the quite steep hills, almost all curving round to the shape of the bay, giving almost all of the 300 odd dwellings here a view of the ocean and surrounding offshore islands.

The settlement sports a well stocked dairy and grocery store, a restaurant/cafe, and a variety of crafts people.

It also has a chalet style motel, condominiums and a few private homestay establishments, a spa pool complex with swimming pool and barbecue areas, two tennis courts and a small children’s playground on its extensive grass reserve bordering the white sand surf beach.

In the surrounding hills there are walks to pursue and fishing from the beach or nearby rocks is a popular pastime for visitors and permanents alike.

Onemana – truly idyllic, it’s just awesome!
