No matter the reason for your Waiheke Island break, Whisper Cottage offers everything to restore, relax and rejuvenate. Looking for a romantic interlude, respite from the city or a pampering time with friends, we have you covered. Enter the cottage through the green door via the beautiful rear courtyard and see the magical sea views open out in front of you. Open plan living space with two large sliding doors opening out on to sun drenched balcony. The setting is extremely private and aflutter with bird life. Take a long hot soak in the brand new 4-person Spa Pool, ready to enjoy on arrival. The home itself includes all modern amenities including 2 Heat Pumps and Chromecast to enjoy those must watch shows. Two bedrooms with upstairs room including 1 King sized double and 1 King sized single. Easy 5-minute drive (20-minute walk) to beautiful Onetangi Beach. Courtesy Hyundai Tucson 4WD Auto included in the price. Equivalent car to rent on the Island for 2 days throughout the year is over Three Hundred dollars Sealink Car Ferry from Halfmoon Bay to Kennedy Point (Waiheke) car and 1 adult return is over Three Hundred dollars All we ask guests is to refill before returning it to the Matiatia carpark. . Full comprehensive Insurance covers drivers 25 or older and have held a full clean (no convictions) license for 2 years or longer. Insurance excess (deductible) is One Thousand dollars (maybe higher for international drivers) Car is parked a short walk from where the Fullers Ferry from Auckland City arrives at Matiatia (Waiheke) and will be available from 2pm. To be returned no later than 1pm on the day of your departure. Other things to note To discover the amazing views and complete privacy Whisper Cottage enjoys our guests will first need to circumnavigate up the meandering path including a number of steps from the carparking area. Carrying up luggage for extended stays could be difficult for some of our guests.
A New Zealander currently living in Melbourne. My partner and I have been together for over 20 years. In 2013 my partners work had us depart Auckland for Singapore. Here we enjoyed experiencing everything this beautiful city has to offer including the opportunity to travel to a number of its neighbouring countries. 2017 saw us move to Melbourne, Australia. Prior to departing New Zealand we lived and worked in Auckland which allowed us to spend time on Waiheke Island. Going to the Bach (holiday home) for weekends and holidays was a regular event. Whether this was at my families Bach or those of friends and families the formula was always the same. Kick back, relax while enjoying a simpler life. I knew after one such visit to Onetangi beach, Waiheke Island, that this is where I would one day continue experiencing the good life at my very own humble Kiwi Bach. Many years later, me and my partner, who shares my love for Waiheke, saw and fell in love with Whisper Cottage. Admittedly the kiwi Bach has evolved somewhat since my youth, but I would like to think the experienced is the same. We have enjoyed sharing our little piece of paradise with guests from all over the world since 2007
