Super dirty hot tub
While view was beautiful we could not use the hot tub because it was too dirty. We tried to clean out some of the excess hair but could not. This was very disappointing as was the main reason we picked this property.

Amazing Hideaway Retreat
Photos did not do this property justice as your first glimpse is a spectacular vista encompassing Auckland City Skyline. The Guesthouse was spacious with plenty of room for a studio. Sunsets across to Auckland CBD were truly majestic with either setting sun or lit up for the night. So peaceful and tranquil, such a lovely pleasant get away. We will be back again as so many vineyards & Restaurants to dine in. Thank you Te Whau Retreat for our fab weekend :-)

Relaxing getaway
Beautiful property, quiet and just right! Clean, modern and comfortable - a great escape away from the hustle and bustle of city life to the quiet island (remote but close enough to restaurants and beaches). Thank you!

Stunning
The Bach was stunning with amazing views. It’s actually better than the photos as it doesn’t show the living area which was a nice surprise.
Would definitely stay again and recommend.
Kitchen - has every appliance needed to prepare, cook & eat dinner
Living area - lovely L shape sofa with TV and dining table
Bed - Lovely, comfortable King Size bed
Amazing views and seating outside. Just wish there was a firepit on the deck for cold evenings but overall we loved the stay!!

Lovely spot
This was a great base for our long walk around the vicinity. We were upgraded to the Cottage at Te Whau Retreat which was a lovely relaxing private environment with a great view. Our only niggles were that the bed in the Guesthouse we had booked was a Super King and we ended up with a Queen in the Cottage and there was nothing in the shower to hold toiletries, not even a soap dish. We also couldn’t find a dish cloth.
We highly recommend Rob from Drive Waiheke, who was recommended to us by the property manager for our transfers.
