With two separate sleeping areas, generous decks, and a relaxed, sun filled interior, it suits couples, friends, or a small family wanting space, privacy, and a simple island base within walking distance of Onetangi Beach, cafés, and vineyards. The Space: Tui Cottage is designed for uncomplicated island living, surrounded by mature native trees and birdsong. Wide decks wrap the cottage, creating outdoor spaces for lounging, dining, and relaxed evenings by the BBQ. The setting feels quiet and private, with greenery in every direction. Inside, the cottage is light and comfortable, with large windows bringing in natural light and views of the surrounding bush. The open plan living and kitchen area is practical and well set up for casual meals and relaxed days between beach visits. An outdoor fish preparation bench makes it easy to enjoy fresh seafood after a day out. Sleeping is arranged across two separate buildings, offering privacy and flexibility. The main cottage has been refreshed and features a super king bed and its own deck, a calm spot for morning coffee surrounded by bush. A short walk through the garden leads to the separate sleepout, which includes a queen bed and its own shower and toilet, making it ideal for a second couple, friends, or older children. The property is just a short drive or an easy walk to Onetangi Beach, where you will find a long stretch of white sand, calm swimming, beachfront dining, a playground, takeaway options, a liquor store, and a petrol station.
