Olive & Merlot cottages have been designed as just the sort of fairytale cottage one would want to happen upon if travelling to Waiheke Island on holiday. We have often done that while travelling ourselves, and it seems more difficult to find than it should be! When the opportunity came up to create some accommodation on the Mudbrick property, we decided to create a fantasy, fairytale cottage – full of character and old world charm, with rustic touches and romance. We had a lot of fun creating a little get-away nestled on the hillside awaiting visits from people from all parts of the world.
When we are going on a holiday, we trawl websites looking for a character property that is going to give us “that” feeling that we are so hoping for – preferably a stones throw from the nearest village – We don’t want to be in the middle of nowhere, we like to wander or take a short taxi ride.
Bonny is our accommodation manager, and we know first hand that she’s just the sort of person that you want to meet, a local Waihekean, as we call ourselves, who will make your stay just that much more personal. She arrives with flowers for the cottage and ensures it looks immaculate, ready for your arrival.
Our location is perfect for privacy, and is delightfully rural, yet 2mins drive from Waiheke’s main village, Oneroa. The great part about it is that if you don’t want to go anywhere, you don’t have to: breakfast is included, you can wander along the path to two different styled restaurants, casual and rustic, or upmarket and refined.
We hope that after looking at the photo gallery you get the feeling that your stay at the fairytale cottages will be amazing. That was really the whole point of creating them, and it’s our latest extension of what we do here at Mudbrick: we create romantic, idyllic fantasy escapes and then provide something for you to do at them – eat, drink, relax, chat, gather loved ones, and now our latest addition… wander down a winding pathway, hop into your private spa pool, then spend the night in a location that rivals anywhere in the world! We are passionate – and unashamedly so! Enjoy!
Love, Robyn and Nick
