Castaway Cottage

The ultimate in cosy, this recently renovated 1950’s bach offers honeymooners, couples and worldwide travellers the opportunity to enjoy a quiet and relaxing island getaway. A charming 2-bedroom Waiheke accommodation, your home away from home is perfect for a small family ready for adventure, with everything you could need. Nestled in spectacular native bush and birdsong, the bach is a veritable sun trap, sheltered from the wind and positioned to maximise a north facing aspect. Just a 5 minute stroll away is Little Oneroa Beach. Two kayaks on wheels are yours to explore the headlands of the bay.

The newly installed kitchen overlooks a fresh herb garden, there, for your enjoyment. Dine at home with the BBQ grill or head down to the waterfront for Dragonfired pizzas or the quintessential holiday takeaway of fish and chips. Fine dining is within reach at Oneroa village where you can experience top quality cuisine, savour local wines and bask in the warmth of the sun as it slowly sets beyond the waters of Oneroa Bay.

• "Sunny cottage in a quiet peaceful location a short walk up the hill from Little Oneroa Beach. Comfortable walking distance from Oneroa township and close to bus stops. The kitchen is new and very well stocked with appliances, utensils, crockery etc. It was mid winter when we stayed but there were heaters, electric blankets and rugs to keep us warm. A selection of books, DVDs and a good WiFi connection kept us entertained. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will stay again".
