Smiths Cottage by Stay Waiheke

Summary:

Smiths Cottage is a peaceful, adults-only retreat with long, open views across the water and beautifully manicured gardens. Calm, bright, and deeply relaxing, this is the kind of place where mornings begin slowly on the deck and evenings drift into quiet sunsets over the bay.



The Space:

From the moment you arrive, Smiths Cottage feels like a private hideaway. The interiors are warm and refined, with soft coastal light, comfortable furnishings, and sliding doors that open directly to the garden and sea views.



The living area frames the outlook perfectly, a serene spot for reading, morning coffee, or an easy evening in. The kitchenette is compact but well equipped with a small hob, microwave, dishwasher, and quality essentials for simple meals at home.



The bedroom is peaceful and calm, with a king bed positioned to take in garden greenery and natural light. A modern bathroom completes the cottage, giving everything you need for a relaxing and effortless stay.



Bed configuration:

Bedroom 1 — King bed



Smiths Cottage is available for adults only.



Guest Access:

Guests have full and private use of the cottage, gardens, deck, and parking area.



The Neighborhood:

Skyview Onetangi sits in one of the most sought-after pockets of the island, close to Onetangi Beach and within easy reach of great food, coffee, and local experiences.

Perfect Spot!

This was the absolute perfect spot for our stay on Waiheke. We couldn’t have asked for a nicer space or a better view. The location is on point as well and makes it easy to walk into town. It was also well equipped with everything we needed!
