Tidy, comfy and convenient
Great set up here. Nice size room, balcony (with sea view) is not huge, but nice. Good location being walking distance to Cable Bay and Mudbrick Vineyards. Also the main township of Oneroa is convenient to.

great location
Nice room, very clean and comfortable. Great location. The property is not staffed, there is no one on site and the contact information listed on EXPEDIA is out of date, so when we had a check in / access issue to be resolved it took a lot if time/effort to get this resolved. Proper and up to date contact information needs to be on file and more timely response so that guest who have paid do not have to spend time or worry about whether or nor they will have access to their room while they are on vacation.

Close to Cable Bay & Mudbrick
This is a fantastic location for travellers without a vehicle. It's a very short walk down to Oneroa, the passenger ferries and a couple of wineries where many weddings take place. Really amazing island.

Thanks Anna, we have done heaps of work on enhancing the privacy of the apartments while maintaining the incredible views out over the Gulf. Glad to see it appreciated so thank you for that ! Best regards Dave and the CBE team

Brian , UAE

Disliked: Staff & service
No wifi, no land line, not on bus route, no staff
The apartment is nice but felt like "Church Bay No Escape". We had to walk to Cable Bay Winery (5 min walk) and ask them to call us a taxi. Check out is 11am, a bit early. Only lock box to pick up your key so no staff to help. Some improvements to wifi and phones would help a lot.
Response from Dave on 10 Jan 2017
Hi Brian, The apartments are self-catering. There are no staff on site for you to call on. It is a very quick walk into the village or down to the main road where the buses are so am a little confused about your comments here about being stuck. We are in a fantastic location so close to the village but still very private. I am sorry it was not everything you wanted. Regards Dave

Modern place on the beautiful island Waiheke.
A very nice place close to central Oneroa with its beach and many restaurants, and walking distance also to a number of nice wineries. New, modern and with nice view to the bay area and to a beautiful garden. Had forgotten to clean the terrace area and the windows, but all in all we had three very calm and enjoyable days

フロントもなく連絡はメールのみで不便でした。3泊にもかかわらず、ペーパー、バスグッズ不足。幸い、ホテルの工事をしてる親切なペインターから、ゲットしました。タオル類交換、ルーム キーピング等、高い別料金がかかることを聞いてびっくりしました。 アリも出ました。

We are sorry we could not give you 4-6 towels every day without charging you. Linen is very expensive on Waiheke Island and we need to pass on the charges if there is a lot of use. We have heated towel rails for you to keep your towels nice and fresh. Regards Dave
