3 Neil Avenue, Orapiu, Waiheke Island, Auckland

Escape to Waiheke Island and find a charming character cottage perched above a sparkling seascape. Set on a generous 1012m2 section, Gull Cottage is a delightful hideaway capturing breathtaking, close-to-water views that feel a world away. The cottage exudes warmth with its native timber floors in the two bedrooms of the main home, a nicely presented modernised kitchen, and a stained glass window that adds a touch of artistry to everyday.

French doors open onto a seaward deck, inviting you to drink in the ever-changing panorama as the sea breeze carries the scent of salt and native flora. A studio provides flexible space for guests or a quiet retreat, complemented by separate storage and a laundry that keeps the main living area serene and uncluttered. Under-house storage offers practical solutions, with the option of an additional studio space.

A pathway leads directly from the property down to the water's edge, giving you easy access to beachcombing, kayaking, or a peaceful barefoot stroll along the shore. This is a great Kiwi-Bach for family and friends, a place to create memories and unwind in a setting of simple, timeless beauty.

Located close to Passage Rock, Man O'War and Poderi Crisci Vineyards, you're never far from exceptional wine, dining, and island experiences. This character cottage is a wonderful blend of charm and practicality, recently refreshed with an external paint that keeps its coastal appeal bright and inviting.

If you're seeking a peacefully delightful holiday home or a lasting island retreat with room to grow, this Waiheke treasure offers the best of sea views, convenient access, and warm, welcoming living.
