28 Eden Terrace, Onetangi, Waiheke Island, Auckland

There aren't many cosy cottages within walking distance of the beach left on Waiheke, frankly. Nice little baches near Onetangi are even rarer. But here's a cracker.

This two-bedroom cutie has been recently painted, gets the sun all day and has a heatpump for the odd chilly evening.

It's also set back from the road, with a tidy, landscaped garden, as well as a deck and terrace, ideal for relaxing or eating al fresco.

Best of all, you can stroll down to Onetangi Beach with its tranquil turquoise waters and 2km of white sand in no more than 15 minutes. As well as enjoying the delights of the longest beach on the island, you'll also find great restaurants and shops there too.

Near your home, you'll find a Four Square and a bus stop just down the road, and four of the island's best vineyards - Tantalus, Te Motu, Stonyridge, and Wild Estate - aren't far away.

You could move in, kick back and enjoy this place straight away. Or you might think about the dream holiday home you could create on the generous 819sqm sized section.
