Book this property!

This property well exceeded our expectations! The house is beautiful and clean, beds were really comfortable, house was well equipped and the spa, bar and theatre were all amazing. However the real highlight of the property is the hosts, they have put so much thought and detail into the property from a lovely tour upon arrival, welcome platter and wine/beer, fresh cut flowers, beautiful room accessories and so much more it really felt like a luxurious break not just renting someone’s house. I couldn’t recommend highly enough!

Wedding Trip to Waiheke

From its general features to the details this property is wonderful. We used the home to house several family members and it was the base for a week of wedding fun. The bedrooms are all wonderful. The bathrooms exceptional - never had a better shower. The Jacuzzi, lawn games, outdoor bar and kitchen are all super. Add to that ping pong, a cinema room, lots of outdoor sitting, a nature walk right to the beach and an outdoor shower. To top off the owner is so personal and helpful. Awesome all around.

Awesome place

Rick was a great host and met with us on arrival. He showed us where everything was and how everything worked and had detailed instruction manuals on hand to refer to (including how to use the TV, games consol etc). Thoughtfully he and his wife had a food hamper and some beers ready and waiting for us. The place was really amazing and there was so many options of activities to do on the property including table tennis which was perfect for a rainy day. The car with the property made it easy to go and get supplies.
