Driftwood Cottage - Our Island
Summary: Tucked in the heart of Waiheke Island, this beautifully restored three-bedroom cottage is a place to slow down, settle in, and truly feel at home. Brimming with character and soul, it offers the perfect base for your island adventure.
The Space: Step outside and the island opens up around you. Located centrally, you’re effortlessly connected to it all—buses at your doorstep, beaches just a stroll away. Wander down to Surfdale Beach for morning sunrises or lose yourself on the Blackpool walking trail. Little Oneroa is just over the hill, offering golden sand and sparkling sea within easy reach.
Inside, the home is filled with warmth and natural light. Each bedroom is spacious and thoughtfully arranged to invite restful sleep and lazy mornings. The kitchen is fully equipped for everything from slow breakfasts to shared dinners, whether you’re here for a weekend or something longer.
As the sun sets, gather on the back deck. Pour a glass of something local, fire up the BBQ, and enjoy the island rhythm—the gentle breeze, the cicadas, the glow of golden hour. This is Waiheke living at its best.
