About this property

Heart-song cottage - perfect - close to beach, shops, cafes, public transport

Beautiful fully renovated 1940s cottage, in central Surfdale. Light and airy, with original art deco features, a huge flat sun-drenched backyard and two sunny decks, new kitchen with modern amenities - new Meile induction stove, whiteware and american oak benches.

Heart-song cottage over-looks (on one side) an orchard owned by council so very private and thick with native birdsong. Perfect for sipping coffee in the morning and watching the sunrise.

Grab brunch from the french cafe across the road - well loved by locals - or make your own by getting supplies from the grocer a one min walk away.

An easy 5 min stroll to a lovely swimming beach and playground for the kids, or enjoyable 20 minute walk to Oneroa township (the central boutique and cafe area - or 2 minute drive).

A full library of books you are welcome to share. The owner is a popular holistic therapist and mystic so many books on body-mind, psychotherapy, sociology, philosphy, esoteric and mysticism. This cottage is cosy and perfect for a couple with space for a child.

There is a little cottage at the back of the property with a permant tenant, who is just lovely. He is well known on the island as a landscape gardner and will be avilable to help if you need it, but otherwise will keep to himself. His property faces away from this one.

Lovely getaway, amazing host, ideal location

Lucy is one of the kindest hosts we’ve ever met - and we have stayed in hundreds of places around the world! She went above and beyond to make our stay a memorable one - fantastic communication and generous beyond compare. Lucy’s home is a peaceful light-filled haven away from the hustle and bustle of Oneroa but close enough you can walk there in 15-20 mins along the esplanade/beach and over a gentle, undemanding hill. We loved exploring the area on foot and also walked to Mudbrick winery and Little Oneroa Beach. If walking isn’t for you, you can jump on one of the frequent local buses to get anywhere on the island - Palm Beach was a favourite of ours for swimming as unfortunately the Surfdale beach (easy 2 mins walk from Lucy’s) had a black algae outbreak so we couldn’t swim there (not a common occurrence we understand)! Lucy’s place is right across the road from a wonderful French cafe where we started our day with a coffee and delicious crepe or pastry. There are also two small supermarkets for picking up any groceries and a pub and restaurant (neither of which we went to so can’t comment on them). So many fabulous places to eat on the island it’s impossible to list them here! Lucy’s place is the perfect place to recharge your batteries and an ideal location to explore Waiheke from - get in touch with Lucy to find out more!
