Dragonfly Cottage
Palm Beach Cottage 1 (Studio)
Enjoy relaxing on the sunny deck overlooking private semi-rural back garden and fields. The spacious studio has a good-sized open plan living/dining area, fully equipped kitchenette, and comfortable bedroom area. Classic Waiheke outdoor bathroom (with brand new fittings) in peaceful garden. Brand new android smart tv and nespresso. Wander 5 minutes along the road to the start of the path to Little Palm Beach, the most picturesque beach on the island! House is 4 minute (350m) walk to bus stop.
The cottage is a large 30msq space with a bedroom area plus an open plan living dining kitchen area. Breakfast bar with 2 bar stools. Brand new sofa bed in lounge. Bed has double USB charging ports (bring your cables). Desk and chair available. Tea and coffee making facilities. Recently painted, with new curtains and full size fridge/freezer. Please note, the bathroom is reminiscent of an earlier Waiheke era and is external to the cottage. It's accessed via a wide garden path, approx 8 metres from the cottage to the bathroom (the walk is not undercover). There are two steps up from the path to the bathroom also (the access everywhere else is completely flat, no steps). The bathroom fittings, shower etc are brand new (in 2023) and the shower is mains pressure - unusual for the island.
The outdoor area/deck is private and away from the main house. Dragonfly Cottage is fully self contained and has its own parking available in front of the cottage. More info available here.
Butterfly Cottage
Palm Beach Cottage 2 (One Bedroom)
Our spacious holiday cottage invites relaxation. Eat al fresco in the front covered patio. Watch the sun go down with a drink on the back deck. Wander 5 minutes along the road to the start of the path to Little Palm Beach and panoramic ocean views. Watch the horses in the fields as you cook in the large, well equipped kitchen. Read a book, play a board game or work on a puzzle in the separate dining area. Watch netflix on the large smart TV. Stay cool (or warm) with the A/C and heat pump. Relax.
The house is a lovely, comfortable holiday home with everything you could think of for a holiday. It is spacious for a one bedroom (65msq) and has a wonderful open plan layout with outdoor living areas at both front and back of the house. It is in a very quiet area, and is very peaceful. The kitchen is exceptionally well equipped and has a wonderfully large breakfast bar with 3 comfortable stools for dining. There is also a separate dining area and table with 6 chairs. A 3 seater couch which converts to a plush futon sofabed is in the living area, and the TV can be viewed from the living room or the dining room.
The King bedroom has a very comfortable bed, clothes storage and shelves, and a fan for comfort. There is also a heat pump/AC in the living area that cools the bedroom well, and insect screens all all windows so you can leave the windows open without worrying about mosquitos. There is excellent ventilation utilising natural breezes, meaning the house doesn't get too hot. The front patio has comfortable outdoor furniture including a chaise lounge, and is covered and protected from wet weather. The upgraded bathroom has mains water pressure (not common on Waiheke!) so you can enjoy a decent shower. There is also a lovely big back garden with a trampoline that you are welcome to use. Off street parking is available.
The location is excellent, a 15 min walk down to Little Palm Beach (and another 5 mins around to Palm Beach), and only a 4 minute walk (350m) to the 502 bus stop where you can easily travel by bus to the ferry, Ostend, Onetangi, Oneroa etc. using Apple Pay or a credit card to pay for the buses. This house is at the front of the property, and there is also a separate self contained studio cottage at the back of the property which is also available to rent. The front house is private and the outdoor front porch faces away from the back studio cottage. There is also a lovely big back garden with a trampoline that you are welcome to use. There is a lockbox and self check in. More info available here.
