About this property
Eco and family friendly cottage near Palm Beach
Situated conveniently between Ostend and Palm Beach, you'll love being within walking distance of one of Waiheke’s iconic north-side beaches in one direction, and all the amenities of Ostend in the other.
Nearby, you’ll find gorgeous safe swimming spots, free beachside gas barbecues, ice creams, playgrounds, takeaways, a liquor store, supermarket, community art gallery, the Saturday market and more. A bus stop just five minutes from the house makes it easy to explore other parts of the island — no need to bring or hire a car.
The property features a lush garden and thriving food forest, with views across a green oasis towards Te Toki Scenic Reserve, where you can enjoy a peaceful bush walk beneath ancient pōhutukawa trees and be serenaded by birdsong. The back deck is a private, sheltered haven — perfect for evening dining as it soaks up sunshine right until sundown.
Powered by the sun, the house runs on solar electricity and solar water heating while also being connected to the grid for convenience. Inside, it has a natural, cosy feel, with polished wooden floors and natural furnishings.
Wifi is available, but otherwise this is a screen-free space to slow down, reconnect with nature, curl up with a good book, or enjoy a board game or cards together.
Perfect for a family holiday, the 3 bedroom cottage offers 1 queen bed and 4 single beds, a safe enclosed deck, bath, books and games for all ages, boogie boards to borrow, and an off-road parking space just a few metres from the front door (with only one step up).
Please note that photos of the rooms with the single beds are not shown on this listing yet as the house is currently occupied with a different bed setup. One bedroom will have a loft bed with single bed below, and the other bedroom will have a Trundle bed set (one single bed slides under the other one), making a total of 4 single beds). With enough advance warning, different bed configurations may be possible (please ask).
Enjoy this little slice of paradise this summer. Powered by the sun. Nourished by the earth. Guided by sustainability.
