Description

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.
