THE WAIHEKE PAD | Be My Guest

Located in the heart of Oneroa Village this stylish holiday accommodation is just a 2 minute walk to the beach and central to absolutely everything (including the passenger ferry from Auckland). The Waiheke Pad is a designer holiday home perfect for a weekend getaway or a longer stay to explore the island.

The Waiheke Pad is right in the middle of the island's main village and yet it is private and quiet. There are no neighbours nearby.

Shops, cafes and restaurants plus a lovely outdoor coffee bar are just outside your door. The bus stop is also right there with buses running to and from the ferry and all around the island.

Across the street is the short walkway to the stunning all-tides white sandy Oneroa Beach. Pop down for a swim or a stroll at any time of the day.

Great location with views to match. Clean and tidy apt with everything you need. If you want a sleep in, the car park behind can be a little noisy, but other than that great place to stay

Perfect central Oneroa base

Not the first time we have stayed. This is perfect for a family with two young ones wanting a central location to tour Waiheke. Modern and well laid out. Right by the coffee stall and bus stops, and with a perfect view of the water.

This was THE perfect place to stay on Waiheke. It is right in the middle of ‘town’ and so easy to just pop downstairs for coffee, restaurants, shopping. And the views from the living room and deck are amazing. The beach is a quick walk. The ferry terminal is even walkable in about 15-20 minutes. It’s a sleepy town, so even though it’s on the main road, it was very quiet after about 8 pm. Everything was clean, nicely decorated, and felt big and spacious.

Great village location

This is a very nice 2 bedroom bach in the central village of Oneroa. There are sweeping views from the deck of the ocean looking over the stores of Oneroa. From here you can walk to the restaurants and beach. There are steps up to the back of the bach, the decor is nice and it is equipped with mostly everything you need. There is freeview TV and dishwasher as well. Easy to get to from bus stop and ferry. Only suggestion for improvement - would benefit from the addition of a heatpump for winter (air conditioning in summer too).

Dissapointing stay

Nice apartment, but no air conditioning made it impossible to enjoy our stay or sleep as it was too hot, couldnt open the windows at night due to being bitten by mosquitos. One very small fan which was very noisey - I would consider installing air con Sofas very uncomfortable

Perfect Central Location

The Apartment was centrally located, everything available on your doorstep for exploring Waiheke, dining out or buying supplies to stay in. We would definitely stay again if heading to Waiheke. There were supplies available for our use, the mosquito plugins were appreciated - as there's no getting away from them! Also, the laundry powder, soaps and general kitchen items – these made the stay a home away from home. It would be improved by having a more recent model TV so we could watch something other than Freeview and we couldn't find the DVD player.

Perfect apartment in the heart of Oneroa Village

We had a great long weekend stay at The Waiheke Pad. The cute apartment was perfect for our family of 4 and we enjoyed being able to walk down the stairs and get to restaurants, cafes and shops within 30 seconds. We loved sitting out on the deck with great views of Oneroa Beach and the bay. Didn't have any struggles with noise at night and the beds are comfortable. I would be sure to not leave any food or crumbs out as we encountered an ant infestation even though we didn't cook any meals in the apartment. Luckily ant bait was supplied and we did our best to clean up so we didn't attract more.

Couples getaway

The location of this property was fabulous. We were a little worried that it was going to be noisy but it wasn't. The rooms suit more a family than 2 couples as one couple had to sleep in single beds. Overall a very pleasant stay. Would have been nice to have had some milk in the fridge for a cuppa when we arrived!

Really nice place to stay

It was a beautiful property to stay in marred only by the shockingly cheap ironing board. We were visiting very nice restaurants and couldn't iron our clothes properly. Also a water pistol for the seagulls would be good.

We loved the location of the Waiheke pad, so handy to the shops, restaurants and beach. The views are spectacular out to the bay from the balcony and very peaceful just to sit there to enjoy. The beds were comfy and clean. Even although this is located in Oneroa we had no noise problems from the street or neighbours. The whole place is very clean except we did find the shower cubicle to be a bit grotty and the hand basin in the toilet must have been somewhat blocked as always took a while for the water to drain away. We would book again and hope the toilet would be better serviced. 🙂
