About this cottage rental
Overlooking the pristine waters of secluded Sandy Bay and the Hauraki Gulf, this hidden gem nestles in a sunny, verdant oasis just 50 metres from golden sand. This property is a veritable paradise for either a young family, or for couples seeking privacy and romance far from the madding crowds. You are perfectly positioned to embrace the simple pleasures of life by the beach! Relax and enjoy quality time on the large sun-drenched deck and listen to the waves or pop down for a swim at the safe all-tide swimming beach or unwind beneath the trees while the children play in the spacious garden! And there's more: just around the corner is Enclosure Bay, a huge natural swimming pool at high tide, with waters warmed by the sun.
This charming cottage is peaceful and private, stylish and yet still retains the quintessential bach charisma. There is an open plan kitchen, dining & living area, with a wood burner to keep you warm in winter and an elegant indoor bathroom to meet your every need. There is also a separate and unique outdoor bathroom with shower, toilet, sink and califont; you will love it! The bedroom has a super comfy double bed, and the bunks are suitable for three to fifteen year olds.
From this location, equidistant from Oneroa Bay and Palm Beach, you can launch your own boat and enjoy a spot of fishing. You can hire SUP boards at Palm Beach for a change of pace or explore the many, fabulous walking tracks in the area. A short drive will take you to Oneroa village with cafes, restaurants, bars, shops, library and art galleries to indulge the senses. You are close to wineries, the golf course and the supermarket: it is the ideal base to explore the wonders of Waiheke.

Cosy and welcoming, it felt like your best friend had just left the room. Books, puzzles, a bottle of Waiheke Red wine on the table ... thoughtfully and generously presented.

Loved the house a huge outside deck. Beautifully decorated inside with everything I needed. Was even given a small amount of milk for my two night stayI’d stay again anytime

The cottage was lovely and peaceful and in a great location on the island. It is a very old structure and with that it has its quirks. I do think some additional information on the mechanics of house itself would have been helpful for us and good for future renters, specifically on the use of water of conserving water if needed. During our stay we ran out of water which was quite a surprise, it was fixed promptly. I think overall some of the basic and bonus amenities on the rental listing were a bit disappointing and made us feel we did not get our true moneys worth on rental due to time wasted fixing things or not being able to use cause it was broken. Only one burner worked on the stove range. Washing machine had rotten sitting water when we went to use it, had to clean it before being able to use ourselves. Almost empty dish soap and shampoo/conditioner. Kayak equipment was in shambles had to fix paddle and seat to be able to use. Overall house was littered in spider webs. The additional company of spiders really didn't bother us but can't say the same for future renters. Also there was a dead bird in garage. With that said, we did love the charm of the Bach and Richard was helpful and responsive when water stopped working.
