Smiths Cottage - Adults Only Bay View Retreat

Summary:

Smiths Cottage is a peaceful, adults only retreat set among manicured gardens with long, open views across the water. Calm, light filled, and private, it suits couples seeking a quiet base where mornings unfold slowly on the deck and evenings settle into soft 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

Check in is from 2:00 pm. Check out is by 10:30 am. Early or late check in may be available by arrangement and may incur a fee.



The Neighborhood:

Smiths Cottage is located close to Onetangi Beach, one of the island’s longest stretches of white sand and a popular spot for swimming and long beach walks. Beachfront dining options are nearby, offering relaxed meals by the water, while the surrounding area retains a quiet, residential feel.



Several vineyards are within easy reach, including Casita Miro, Stonyridge, Te Motu, Tantalus, and Wild on Waiheke. The Heke Brewery & Distillery is also close by for casual dining, tastings, and relaxed afternoons. Oneroa Village, with its shops, galleries, cafés, and supermarkets, is around a ten minute drive away, along with the Saturday Ostend 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.

Smiths Cottage is adults-only and sits in a peaceful residential area.

Perfect Spot!

This was the absolute perfect spot for our stay on Waiheke. We couldn’t have asked for a nicer space or a better view. The location is on point as well and makes it easy to walk into town. It was also well equipped with everything we needed!
