Summary:
A bright, beautifully renovated island cottage just a 5-minute walk from Oneroa Village, two beaches, and the ferry. With modern interiors, generous outdoor living, a fenced flat lawn and space for up to 8 guests including the sleepout, Ti Cottage is an easy, sun-filled base for families and small groups wanting comfort and convenience.
The Space:
Ti Cottage is a relaxed, sun-soaked island home designed for easy living in one of Oneroa’s most walkable pockets. The open-plan layout feels fresh and modern, with polished wooden floors, comfortable lounge seating, and a dining area that opens onto both front and back decks.
The renovated chef’s kitchen has quality appliances, great bench space, and everything needed for holiday cooking. Sliding doors pull in natural light throughout the day, leading directly to outdoor dining and a fully fenced back garden, ideal for kids, with a trampoline and plenty of flat lawn.
Three bedrooms sit inside the main home, while the external sleepout offers extra space for teens or a small family needing privacy. With 1.5 bathrooms, multiple living zones, and both indoor and outdoor dining, this is a simple, welcoming base for families and groups exploring Oneroa, the beaches, and the vineyards.

The Neighborhood:
Ti Cottage sits in one of the most walkable pockets of Oneroa, close enough to the village for morning coffee runs and evening dinners, yet tucked away on a quiet residential street that feels relaxed and family-friendly.
A 5-minute walk brings you to Oneroa Village, the island’s main hub, lined with cafés, bakeries, wine bars, boutique shops, galleries, and essential services. Grab a flat white at Wai Kitchen, Double Shot, or Island Coffee, settle in for brunch at Fenice or The Local, or enjoy dinner at Vino Vino, Solar Eating House, The Oyster Inn, or Akito. Nearby shops include Home Grown, Timmy Smith, Batenburgs, art galleries, clothing boutiques, and a local Four Square supermarket.
Two of Waiheke’s most loved beaches are close by, Oneroa Beach (safe, family-friendly swimming) and Little Oneroa Beach (pizza caravan, playground, and picnic areas), both around a 10–12 minute walk from the cottage.
For wine tasting and long lunches, you’re a short drive or quick bus ride from Cable Bay, Mudbrick, The Heke Brewery, Waiheke Distilling Co., Tantalus, Te Motu, Stonyridge, and Wild Estate.
This central location makes Ti Cottage an ideal base for exploring beaches, coastal tracks, and the best of Waiheke food and wine, all without needing a car.
Getting Around:
Ti Cottage is in a prime walkable location. It’s an easy 5-minute walk to Oneroa Village for cafés, boutique shops, galleries, groceries, and the beach. The Matiatia passenger ferry terminal is approximately a 20–25 minute walk, or a quick 3–5 minute taxi or bus ride.
Buses run frequently from Oneroa. From the village you can connect to every major route on the island, including Onetangi, Palm Beach, Ostend, Surfdale, and Rocky Bay.
Buses from Onetangi travel past all major wineries, including Tantalus, Stonyridge, Te Motu, Wild Estate, The Heke, and Cable Bay, before continuing into Oneroa and on to the passenger ferry.
There is easy off-street parking at the property if you’re bringing a car. Taxis and ride services are available but can be limited during peak times, so pre-booking is recommended.
