Calm, bright, and deeply relaxing, this is the kind of place where mornings begin slowly on the deck and evenings drift into quiet sunsets over the bay. The Space: From the moment you arrive, Smiths Cottage feels like a private hideaway. The interiors are warm and refined, with soft coastal light, comfortable furnishings, and sliding doors that open directly to the garden and sea views. The living area frames the outlook perfectly, a serene spot for reading, morning coffee, or an easy evening in. The kitchenette is compact but well equipped with a small hob, microwave, dishwasher, and quality essentials for simple meals at home. The bedroom is peaceful and calm, with a king bed positioned to take in garden greenery and natural light. A modern bathroom completes the cottage, giving everything you need for a relaxing and effortless stay. Bed configuration: Bedroom 1 — King bed Smiths Cottage is available for adults only. Guest Access: Guests have full and private use of the cottage, gardens, deck, and parking area. The Neighborhood: Skyview Onetangi sits in one of the most sought-after pockets of the island, close to Onetangi Beach and within easy reach of great food, coffee, and local experiences. Coffee & Breakfast Ki Māha Café (espresso + beachside breakfast) Charlie Farley’s (coffee, breakfast, casual dining) Three Seven Two (high-end brunch + cocktails) Dining & Drinks Ki Māha (fine dining right on the beach) Three Seven Two (seasonal, award-winning) Charlie Farley’s (beachfront casual dining) Vineyards Close By Miro / Casita Miro Obsidian Stonyridge Te Motu Tantalus Estate Wild on Waiheke The Heke (brewery, restaurant, distillery) Beaches & Walks Onetangi Beach — the island’s longest white-sand beach Woodside Bay, Hekerua Track, and nearby coastal walkways Shops & Essentials Onetangi Beach Stores (ice cream, essentials, beach gear) A 10-minute drive to Woolworths, Oneroa Village, boutiques, galleries, and the Saturday Ostend Farmers Market. Getting Around: Buses run regularly across the island, with routes from Onetangi stopping close to the major wineries including The Heke, then continuing through Ostend and into Oneroa, before connecting to the Matiatia passenger ferry. If you’re driving, there is easy off-street parking at the cottage. Taxis and rideshare services are available, though they can be limited during peak times. Other Things to Note: Smiths Cottage is adults-only and sits in a peaceful residential area. The property runs on rainwater, so we kindly ask guests to be mindful of water use during their stay — short showers and light water awareness go a long way on the island.
