Treeline bit of paradise
Cute and quirky house with everything you need, heaps of room for 6 adults, and beautiful location. It really is Hill top and I'd suggest driving to the beach but its beautifully set up for outside entertaining and inside relaxing.

Waiheke stay
Clean and well kept property with all the amenities. My only suggestion would be to have a few windows with mosquito nets so the lovely breeze can be enjoyed throughout the house on hot summer evenings. We would stay here again.

Would've been great but for the mosquitoes
My friend and I were excited for this stay on beautiful Waiheke. The house itself was beautiful, interesting, big comfy beds and lots of natural light and a lovely garden out front. But a few days before check in we were told that the houses water is non-potable, as is common on the island but as unfamiliar tourists I feel this should be made aware in the listing and reflected in the price. When we arrived in the house our joy very quickly turned to torment as the whole house was infested with mosquitoes. What should have been a relaxing couple days on the island turned into three sleepless nights of buzzing in our ears and now absolutely covered in hundreds of bites. What could have been one of the nicest places I've stayed in all my travels has ended up being one of the worst. I hope the owners fix this problem for future guests as I am not the first to experience this. However I would not recommend staying here.

We liked this house
We liked this house. It’s comfortable even in the middle of winter with the fire going. Beds had plenty of extra blankets available. Great for a family. We took our car. The kids enjoyed the range of board games available and there were some classic DVDs to watch which we all appreciated. Thank you for having us.

Delightful bach nestled in the Hills of lush Waiheke
This is a delightful bach decorated with eclectic flair. Beautiful views across the surrounding hillside. Only a 10 minute walk to Palm beach with stunning views along the way. I would highly recommended it.

Perfect for a quiet getaway
Was amazed by the view and the fact there were three separate rooms each with their own charm. As it is usually hard to find reasonably priced places with enough beds this was perfect for myself and my friends, as we enjoy having our own spaces to retreat to. Great place to stay for a few days, clear and easy communication, wonderfully private property with enclosed space to relax outside with good weather. Close to bus stop and within range of the beach. Would definitely like to return at some point.

Super fam getaway with our dog
This was a delightful place to stay for a long weekend getaway, our family of five enjoyed the charming, relaxed vibe and best of all having our dog on holiday with us! The location worked well relying on public transport, and we appreciated the proximity to the beach. Would love to come stay again.
