Great base for enjoying Waiheke
Astrid has every detail covered with all sorts of nice touches which made us feel welcome. The accommodation is impeccable and very comfortable with a great outlook and very handy to shops and beaches. We very much enjoyed our stay.

Waiheke Island Gem
Wow!! Amazing property where the hosts have thought of everything!. Appreciated the starter set of milk, eggs, My wife and I took the ferry from Auckland and used the local bus system on the island to do everything we needed. We were able to shop at stores, dine out, use the beaches and partake of the wineries without any issue. The property is wonderfully kept up with unique touches throughout. Would absolutely stay again!

FIVE STARS STAY AT WAIHEKE
A very nice and enjoyable cottage for two with all comfort. It feels like home. Held by very friendly hosts. We've found many smily attentions scattered all around in and out the cottage. It's also a very peaceful island with very pleasant walks along beautiful landscape and forest.

Fantastic stay in Waiheke
The property was perfect. Stylishly furnished, comfortable and very clean and well presented. It was really helpful to have tea, coffee, milk, butter, cereal etc, all the basics. Very welcoming little touches. Check in could not have been easier and communication was great before we arrived and while there. It was good to meet Astrid and Marcus and they were on hand if needed. The location of the bach was good, short walk to beach and town with bus stop nearby. Views from the property were amazing and the garden, well kept.

Fantastic, great place
10 out of 10!! Our host Astrid was very friendly and welcoming. Having stayed at various accommodations i was surprised, and appreciative of the essentials that were supplied, i.e. milk Oj butter to name a few. I will start planning my next Waiheke getaway and definitely be staying here, and is on my list of recommended places to stay.

Beautiful, relaxing stay on Waiheke
Stayed in the chalet for 4 nights. Walkable to Oneroa and easy access anywhere else on the island. Very relaxing and comfortable stay. The chalet is on the owners’ property but there is total privacy. Private, secure parking. Beautiful front and back porches. Lots of natural light. Interior very comfortable and modern. Wifi was perfect with 3 devices. Astrid was very proactive and responsive with her communications, and very caring and thoughtful with amenities in the chalet. Highly recommend!

A cottage to call home while on vacation
Everything we needed was already here. Ingrid also gave us fresh tomatoes and rosemary from her garden. So much appreciated given we were cooking for ourselves rather than eating out. The cottage has decks on three sides so you can catch a cooling breeze in the summer and follow the sun in the winter. We will return!!

Lovely cottage
We stayed in Oneroa for two nights in November and had a lovely time. The cottage is very cute and is as presented in the photos. While small, it has everything you need and is in a beautiful private setting at the end of the drive on the hosts’ property. The cottage is on a small hill and has a good view back towards Oneroa which is an easy 15min walk downhill. It’s also about a 5 walk downhill to the beach.

It's all the little extras, like muesli and fresh squeezed juice, that really make a difference. This place is warm and cosy as well as being spotlessly clean. Towels are fluffy, sheets are crisp and the kitchen is really well equipped. Communication with our host was prompt and very friendly.

Great stay
We loved everything about our stay here. The location is great; bus stop at the end of the road, short walk to Oneroa and on a hill so there’s even a sea view. Possibly the most well equipped bach we’ve stayed in. There were things provided I don’t even have at home! Astrid was very kind and welcoming, couldn’t have asked for a better host. We didn’t have the best weather but that didn’t stop us doing all the things we’d planned. There’s a heat pump so it’d be a good place to stay in winter as well as summer. Thank you
