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.

About the host
Hosted by Lucy Grace

I am a holistic therapist and author, known internationally for these roles and booked out a year in advance. I recently released a book "This Untameable Light" which can be found in the boutiques around the island and online on amazon. I love the community here and despite working 15 years as a humanitarian aid worker around the world, based in Europe, I couldn't imagine living anywhere else - Waiheke Island truly is paradise and Heart-song cottage has such beautiful energy, it's my heaven.
Why they chose this property
This property has a beautiful energy, and despite being on a main road has such a private feel, bathed in birdsong and sunlight.
