About this property
Sunshine Cottage by the Sea | Stay Waiheke
Summary:
Beach, sun and sand!
Reminiscent of times gone by, Sunshine Cottage by the Sea is a cherished family bach situated steps from Onetangi beach. Pack up the kids, boogie boards & your favourite novel and prepare yourselves for a good old fashioned beach holiday.
The Space:
The bach, originally built in the 20's, has lovely wooden floors, stunning views of the beach, an open plan living/kitchen area and a bedroom wing in the main house. The bathroom is accessed externally off the back deck.
Sunshine Cottage is situated on the eastern end of Onetangi beach with 2.5 kilometres of white sand and charming seaside cafes. The vineyards and restaurants of the "vineyard valley" including Miro/Casita Miro, Obsidian, Stonyridge, Te Motu and Wild on Waiheke are all within easy reach. The property is close to the golf course, Countdown supermarket, Saturday farmer's market and many other Waiheke attractions.
Guest Access:
At Stay Waiheke we offer a wide range of services for guests in residence including provisioning, private cheffing, beach towel hire, transport, tours, child minding and housekeeping. Advance bookings recommended. We look forward to hearing from you.
A vehicle is available to book with this property. Please enquire for rates and availability.
