About this property

The Marine Pad - Onetangi

Just far away enough from the hustle, a charming two bed cottage with sleepout recently renovated to the highest spec. Close to the beach and vineyards, this is an ideal base to explore Onetangi and the entire.

All furnishings and appliances new including leather suites. This bach is a dedicated holiday home so no clutter and dust . A generous near flat section with plenty of parking, easy access in a tranquil street. A gentle 800 metre stroll to arguably Waiheke's best beach. North facing with outlook to vineyards and impressive sunsets.


+ Price does not include linen. Bring linen and all towels, or arrange hire when booking (Excludes beach towels).

++ Note: Occupancy is listed as 7 but more could be accommodated in the sleep out. Subject to booking, extra charges can apply.

A fantastic clean bach which has been tastefully renovated, with all the modern conveniences in a great position.....very handy to the best beach on Waiheke, lots of outdoor space and bird life, (Pukeko, Tui, Wood Pigeon, Rosella, Ducks etc). Loved the mini games room. Would highly recommend for a peaceful relaxing stay. Thanks again.

"We are a couple with a 16month old and found this property perfect for our stay on Waiheke. Onetangi is most definitely the best beach on the island and being a short stroll away from it and an even quicker drive to it was awesome. The house was kid-safe and had everything we needed and we would definitely stay again. AndyB Oct 2016"

From our very first guests...
"Great place to stay, will be back."

And from the next...
"We loved your place - we only wished we could stay longer"

A great spot for our mini break

We always try to stay here when we visit Waiheke. It’s only about 7 mins walk to fabulous Onetangi beach and restaurants. Close to 4 square for supplies. A great little clean and tidy comfortable house with everything you need, and a lovely sunny deck to sit on in a quiet area surrounded by Tuis and Wood pigeons.

Wonderful relaxing place

We enjoyed our stay here so very much! The space was perfect for our family.. it was better than we expected with the cleanliness and space available.. my kids absolutely loved the fooseball, and the place was comfortable.. well located! Stuart was lovely.. we broke 2 wine glasses in the dishwasher, and he was really kind to not worry about it! We love waiheke, and it feels like we’ve found our place to stay whenever we return for a weekend away! We highly recommend the place!
