Sailors Cottage - Oneroa Village Cottage

Summary:

Sailors Cottage is a light filled, modern one bedroom hideaway set within easy walking distance of Oneroa Village and Oneroa Beach. Private, calm, and thoughtfully designed, it suits couples looking for a comfortable base close to beaches, cafés, and the passenger ferry while still enjoying a peaceful setting.



The Space:

Sailors Cottage is designed for simple, relaxed island living. The open plan layout keeps the space easy to use and welcoming, with the living and kitchen areas opening directly onto a sunny, private deck. Sliding doors allow fresh air to move through the cottage, making indoor and outdoor living feel closely connected.



Inside, the living area is comfortable and uncluttered, with a sofa, television, and dining nook suited to quiet evenings after a day exploring the island. The kitchen is well equipped for simple meals at home and includes a coffee machine for relaxing mornings.



The bedroom is calm and private, with a comfortable queen bed and soft natural light. The modern bathroom includes a walk in shower and practical amenities for short or longer stays. A heat pump provides year round comfort, keeping the cottage warm in winter and cool through summer.



The fully fenced garden offers a private outdoor space and makes the cottage suitable for guests travelling with pets by prior approval.

Guest Access:

The Neighborhood:

Sailors Cottage by Stay Waiheke sits in one of the most convenient pockets of Oneroa. A gentle five-minute walk leads to the village’s cafés, bakeries, boutique shops, and easy dining options. Oneroa Beach is close enough for morning swims, sunset walks, and lazy afternoons on the sand.



Nearby highlights include Mudbrick and Cable Bay vineyards, Artworks precinct, the Saturday Ostend Markets, and the coastal paths around Owhanake and Church Bay. You’ll be right in the centre of the island’s most-loved food, wine, and coastal experiences.



Getting Around:

The closest bus stop is on Ocean View Road, connecting you to services running between the ferry terminals, Oneroa, Palm Beach, Ostend, and Onetangi. Buses also stop near popular vineyards and The Heke Brewery.



Taxis and shuttles are available island-wide but can be expensive at peak times. Parking is provided at the property for guests with a car.



Other Things to Note:

This is a self-catered holiday home, not a fully catered stay. We provide a starter supply of essentials such as toilet paper, coffee, tea, and milk to help you settle in on arrival. Once these starter items have been used, guests are responsible for purchasing any additional supplies needed during their stay.



For properties with a fireplace, stays between 1 June and 30 September include a starter supply of firewood. Additional firewood can be purchased from local petrol stations, Woolworths, Four Square, and PlaceMakers.



Beach towels are provided at properties with an available pool or spa. Guests staying at properties without a pool or spa will need to bring their own beach towels.



The cottage is supplied by rainwater tanks, so guests are asked to be mindful of water use.



Pets must be approved prior to arrival.



Interaction with Guests:

The Stay Waiheke team is available seven days a week from 8:30am to 5:00pm, with an after-hours line for urgent issues. For life-threatening or property emergencies like fire, please call 111.
