Arriving at
The Winemaker's Cottage felt like discovering one of Waiheke Island’s quieter secrets. Set above a mature 12-acre vineyard and olive grove, the cottage looks out across the vines towards Putiki Bay, with the sea glinting beyond the rows. It has that rare balance of privacy, island ease and proper wine-country atmosphere.
Inside, the cottage is compact but beautifully arranged, with two bedrooms, a well-equipped kitchenette and private deck spaces made for slow breakfasts or a glass of wine at sunset. Days can be spent wandering through the vines, driving to nearby beaches such as Palm Beach and Onetangi, or exploring Waiheke’s many cellar doors and restaurants. For couples or a small family, it is a wonderfully atmospheric base for a vineyard-focused island escape.
