Smiths Cottage by Stay Waiheke | House in Waiheke Island
1 Bedroom House in Oneroa, Waiheke Island
Summary:
Smiths Cottage is a peaceful, adults-only retreat with long, open views across the water and beautifully manicured gardens. 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.
