Special conditions:
Our Loan Vehicle Disclaimer - Important to read this carefully.
The loan vehicles are free to use if you have a full drivers license, have experience driving on the left side of the road and prepared to replace fuel used. We want to make you aware that they are UNINSURED. It's not a legal requirement to insure a vehicle in NZ and if we acquired the necessary documentation and certification checks/labels to insure the vehicles we would have to apply a rental charge to help out with the cost. NO RESPONSIBILITY for your safety or injury will be taken by the vehicle owners and you will drive our loan car at your own risk.
Our loan cars are kept up to NZ road-worthy standards and have all the necessary legal requirements (Warrant of fitness and Registration) as well as frequent service checks.
We've had not had an incident or accident by any of our guests since we started in this business 16 years ago but if it were to happen we would cover any damage to our vehicle but once again NOT take responsibility for your safety or injury so you are driving our vehicle at your own risk.

If you are from another country that drives on the right side of the road and if you cannot demonstrate that you are familiar with driving on the left side of the road you could be refused use of a car.
We give and insist at times on a supervisor drive if you are not used to driving on the left side of the road. Cliff will sit in the passenger seat and observe your driving skills and offer any helpful advise on how to stay safe on Waiheke Island roads. This will last for approximately 30-60 minutes. If Cliff decides that you do not have the skills to drive safely and pose a danger to other road users then you will be forbidden the use of the vehicle. If this circumstance were to arise you will be given the contact details of the cheapest taxi company and we will help out where we can. Example: to drop you off at a vineyard or to go shopping.
The car is not to be driven East of Onetangi as the roads are unpaved with steep drop-offs in places. Shuttles are available for hire to take you to Man-O-War Bay and Stoney Batter

Waiheke Island is larger than most people think and we consider a car essential if you want to take in all the glorious beaches, vineyards, cafes and restaurants.
Extras: Cleaning (included); Linen (included);

Disappointing, misleading, misrepresented
When we booked and paid for 5 nights. The impression from the website was we would be staying in the main house in an apartment overlooking the water view. Instead we had what is classed as a ‘donger’ in Australia .. a transportable structure divided into two seperate accommodations. Because we were located lower on the property, the view was much less. Inside the donger, the bed was double size. The linen was so worn, we could see through it. The towels (2only) had a very organic smell and very old. Very basic and old, worn out. The tiny bathroom had no shelf, only one towel rail. The only mirror in the donger was on the wall behind the toilet so you needed to stand astride the toilet to use the mirror. The outdoor table was moss covered. It was a bonus to get a car to use even tho it was around 20 years old and not clean. We contacted Stayz because we felt the property was mis represented and have asked for a refund. At this stage we have not from the host, it’s been a week!! We are very disappointed, don’t be tricked

Loved our stay.
Being picked up from and dropped off at the ferry was perfect. All very flexible with us getting off a cruise and then the ferry across to the island. Hosts stayed in communication with us. Unit was very clean and perfect for 3 of us for 4 days. The hosts had family staying with them and there were other people staying in the unit beside us but we all came and went with privacy. Hosts were always a text message away if we needed to ask anything. Could hear the people next door talking and closing doors when we were all at home but otherwise location is beautiful and quiet. The weather sadly was not kind to us and it was raining most of the time. The use of the car at no extra cost other than replacing fuel was an absolute godsend as we could spend our days exploring all of the island that had sealed roads. The only thing I would mention is that I’m sure the bedroom would get very hot on summer days when it was sunny. There is no fan. Lounge room has a ceiling fan. Wouldn’t hesitate to stay again if we ever visit Waiheke Island again. Thanks to the hosts for sharing their lovely location with us.

Waiheke Wonderland
Great place from which to explore all of the wonderful offerings that Waiheke produces. It was amazing to have a car to get about and get a decent overview. I relished the freedom of the day that I left the car at home and tramped all over the place. Hilly country, but stunning!!!

A wonderful weekend in the perfect getaway
We were picked up at the ferry whisked to the Villa Pacifica but on the way got to know the people behind the place.There's real love and heart in this place ... we loved every minute of it.Jamie is the kind of guy books should be written about - a real rock.The use of a free car was just perfect as we were able to experience the best of both worlds - beautiful beaches .. great vineyards but not having to wait for buses and could pop anywhere we pleased.Can't reccomend it enough.

Friendly, unobtrusive hosts and the car is a game-changer
Property is quiet and serene, but still convenient to everything there is to do and see. Having a car on the island is a massive quality of life improvement vs. relying on public transit. Hosts are great. Would gladly stay again.

Cant wait to come back
We stayed during a friends wedding weekend and couldn't have asked for a better location, space and hosts - our entire stay from the moment we stepped off the ferry to the ride back down 3 days later was perfect. You guys have such an amazing property with stunning views and the car was great for getting around the island. Thank you Gaye for the restaurant and menu recs to the places we did manage to go to around the wedding planning trips out. We're keep to come back again and make the most of the tracks and winery's closer to you. Looking forward to more wind-down weekends on Waiheke

Everything you need! Friendly hosts
Second time I have stayed here. Perfect wee bach with amazing views. Clean and tidy with everything you could need. Hosts arranged pick up from the ferry and drop off at the end of our stay. Having the use of the car they provided makes getting around the island easy and allows you to do things in your own time. Hosts are friendly and made us feel very welcome. Thanks for having us!

Disappointing
Bed was uncomfortable, beside units not practical to place cup of tea/coffee on, resulting in spillage that seeped through to the clothes in the draw below. Couch was too small and uncomfortable for 2 to relax on. Dining table and chairs were metal outdoor table and chairs, which were not only uncomfortable to sit on, but got to hot to sit on, when sun was beating through the window. Bathroom too small and awkward to be able to get ready in. No vanity to put toothpaste and toothbrushes on at minimum. Sink was basically a tiny hand wash basin. No hooks to hang damp towels on to dry after a shower. Only two hooks with 2 coat hangers each to hang clothes on. Which one wonders, if they were meant for the towels. Afternoon sun, made accommodation like a sauna, requiring curtains to be closed to keep heat down. No air con to help cool down and fans provided just moved already hot air around the room. Unit neighbours another unit, with no comfortable outdoor seating for both parties to make use of at the same time. Shower limited to 3 mins, which we totally support being on tank water, however, shower head did not stay upright, causing time and water to be wasted trying to get it to stay upright, especially when hair needed washing/rinsing. Ended up having to take the shower head out of its frame to wet self and then again to rinse self. Kitchen was best part of the accommodation, which was fully equipped.

Great location!
I had a great stay at this property! Gaye, Cliff and Jamie were very friendly and accommodating, going above and beyond to make sure I was comfortable. The studio came with free car, which was very helpful to be able to see the island. I can't recommend this place enough if you coming to Waiheke Island!

Waiheke get away
We were very disappointed to find that the aerial view in the photos of our accomodation was not of the units advertised. The actual accomodation was down the driveway from this house and was a bungalow divided into 2 units with a shared entrance and shared outdoor area. The photos of the outdoor area looked lovely but were in fact a table in the parking area. As the units were part of the same building, we were very aware of the people next door. The interior of the unit was comfortable and the view lovely. We enjoyed our stay but it definitely was not what we thought we had booked and was a little overpriced.

About the host

Host profile image
Myself and wife Gaye have owned and operated our Villa Pacifica accommodation for 17 years. Cliff has lived on the island for most of his life and Gaye was born on Waiheke. So I guess that makes her a 'Waihetian' ha ha.

We are situated in an absolutely pristine and peaceful neighborhood. The only sound you will hear is the wind and bird life making it an ideal environment for rest and relaxation. Yet by making use of our free car guests can easily access in a few minutes the local shopping, vineyards, cafes, restaurants, activities, beaches and the walking tracks start right at our back door

Guest access
Our entire 18 acres with lots of walking tracks down to the sea
Guest interaction:
The owners are available to help at any time. You are on your own until you request something.
