Overview

Seaside Cottage

Set on a generous 981sqm site, Seaside Cottage is a captivating waterfront legacy property that captures the enduring charm of 'old Waiheke'. At the rear of the gently sloping section sits the main two-bedroom board-and-batten cottage. Its elevated position enjoys a sunny aspect and an outlook of colourful boats bobbing about happily in the bay. At the front of the site stands the iconic 'Gallery' - the former Putiki Post Office, run by Mrs Foster in the late 1950s, with her husband Mr Foster serving as the Onetangi Fire Chief. Once the heart of the local community, this was a place where stories were exchanged alongside letters and parcels. Locals still reminisce about those simpler times: "My mum banked one pound into my account here on 21 March 1950 when I was just four months old." Mothers and children sat waiting on the seat for the carrier, Mr Butterworth, to arrive with the mail after the Baroona or Motunui tied up at Ostend Wharf. School books were bought here. In more recent years, the building has lived on as the 'Gallery', hosting rotating exhibitions by local artists every three weeks thus continuing its role as a place of community connection. Now offered for sale by auction on behalf of an off-island family, this inherited waterfront property presents an exceptional opportunity to secure a piece of Waiheke's history. The keys are in the air for 84 Wharf Road - will you catch them? Call Holly or Mandy to view today! Property LIM Report and Council File have been ordered and are expected to arrive in the week commencing 9 February.
