Cape Cottage | Easy Walk To Oneroa Beach

Summary:

Cape Cottage in Oneroa is a bright, beautifully presented home set just above the beach, an easy, comfortable base for families and couples wanting relaxed island living close to the village.



The Space:

Set just above Oneroa Beach, Cape Cottage by Stay Waiheke is bright, open, and made for easy island living. The home has been beautifully updated while keeping its classic Waiheke character, timber floors, whitewashed walls, and wide windows that bring in the light and sea air.



Cape Cottage has classic Waiheke character with modern comfort. Timber floors, whitewashed walls, and wide windows bring light and sea air into the open-plan living, kitchen, and dining area. A gas fireplace makes cooler evenings cosy, and glass doors open to generous decks with outdoor seating, a BBQ, and a cottage garden.



The layout is practical for families or small groups. The main bedroom has a king bed, the second has a queen, and the third has two singles. A mezzanine level, accessed by a ladder, adds extra sleeping space with a double bed, ideal for older children or adults comfortable with ladder access. Two bathrooms and a fully equipped kitchen make the home easy to settle into for longer stays.



With indoor and outdoor spaces that flow together, Cape Cottage is made for relaxed days, morning coffee on the deck, afternoons at the beach, and quiet evenings with the fire going.
