Everything was perfect- we enjoyed the great sea views in the daytime and the outside spa at night. The house was spacious, light filled and very well equipped. The car is a huge bonus for exploring beyond the lovely local area. Peter was a very friendly and responsive host. Thank you for the stay!

Great place to stay on Waiheke
This is a great place to stay, it's away from the bustle of Oneroa yet close enough to everything. Having a car included is a big plus. The place itself is stunning, with a great view of the water. The laundry facilities work great, and there's two drying racks (I wish more places had two!). The shower was hot. The bed was firm and comfortable. There's a separate a/c unit in the bedroom which we liked. The water is filtered but it's recommended to drink bottled water; there's a Four Square about a five minute drive away that sells 5L waters. We loved our stay here and would stay again

We had a lovely time on the island with our sister and brother-in-law driving around the island doesn't take very long but you have to keep your eyes on the narrow roads. The house was lovely with a great view, it would be even better in the summer.

Fantastic place
This place was amazing to stay, the use of the car was so helpful so we didn’t have to rely on buses. You are about a 25-30 mins walking distance to Charley Farleys and vineyards like Wild on Waiheke/Stonyridge. The views out to the sea are amazing, the spa to use at the end of a long day is brilliant. Peter was so great at answering questions and communicating about check in and out. We would go back in a heartbeat and would highly recommend!

stay on Waiheke
This was a lovely stay thank you! the house had everything we needed, complete with a car and a spa which was awesome in the evenings. the property is super private, tucked away in beautiful native bush and overlooking the ocean. Waiheke itself is a wonderful location. We went to some of the nearby wineries (Obsidian and Casita Miro) which we absolutely rated. Would highly recommend this to anyone looking for a lovely little getaway. We will be back! :-)

Island Dream
Great communication with Peter along every step of the way. Arrival was straightforward from the chats we’d had prior to the stay and to the instructions your sent leading up to it. D Zone is the furthest carpark away where the rental car is waiting for you. It’s not that well sign posted and it doesn’t ring a bell to most locals when you ask, so just keep following your nose. It was incredibly convenient to have the vehicle come with the house. We didn’t pack light so was very lucky with how spacious the SUV was. The bach itself was a beautiful, comfortable, warm house. It has a full open planned kitchen, perfect for having the option of making your own food (especially on lazy sun filled mornings). Comfy bed & chairs in all the living spaces & something you need to have on Waiheke - Your own private spa! It was central to every activity we did while on the island and only a $20 taxi away from a bit of night life down the road (Charlie Farleys & Stoneyridge). Don’t leave it too late though! 10pm seems to be the shut down time. This was quite surprising to us for a Saturday night. Live it up during the day and afternoon friends - It’s the Waiheke way. We were lucky enough to have the best weather as well. So my tropical island birthday wish came true! Thanks again :)
