Quirky house, great views of birds. Not very warm as outdoor ceiling inside. Caution trap drop to downstairs. Very limited storage as owners belongings in cupboards. Needs a bit of a TLC.

House would be amazing in hot summer with no rain or mosquitoes . We had some rain and the gutters leaked water all onto patio deck leaving pools of water and wet furniture cushions . With the black wood stains on furniture and stains on cushions this has been happening for a while.Rear patio with bath tub was a hit however very messy bathtub and deck so had to clean everything before using it - which defeats the 250 cleaning fee we paid for . Also an incredibly strong solvent or resin odour coming from cupboard beside dishwasher . Could not leave windows or doors open to get rid of constant smell due to no screens in house and lots of mosquitos -so had to leave kitchen stove vent fan on so we could stay in living room . Think it may have something to do with heat from dishwasher and resin from inside cupboards . We enjoyed the place but needs some better cleaning and fixing up leaking gutters .The main shower we did not use due to black mold around base of it . We loved Waiheke and the location and space was great for our two days - Thanks

We came for a weekend away from the hustle and bustle of the city. Casa del Mar is a 10-minute walk from Palm Beach, with glorious views from the terrace. The house is beautifully decorated, chic yet coastal. Everything is provided and we wanted for nothing. Highly recommended.
