I booked the house for a 50th birthday weekend. We had an open door to anyone who wanted to stay/visit. Needless to say the house was full every day with visitors either for a day on beach or overnight for a barbecue and morning swim. The house is in a quiet location, 10 minutes from the ferry, and the beach is at the end of the drive way.

We absolutely loved this bach. Super clean and comfy, amazing view and location, still bach-like, and awesome extras to make it a real experience. The e-bikes were a huge hit and great way to see the island. Highly recommended for families or friends.

A great house in a fantastic location. Only a few small issues - the sliding door leading onto the top balcony would not lock, the sky decoder was not working and sand was found in the beds in the sleep out. We would definitely rent this house over and over again.

Great house for our family of 7. We loved the close proximity to the beach and beautiful views.
Great property and location. Well set up with separate areas for two families. Easy walk to the beach and beautiful views from many rooms of the house. We couldn't get the TVs to go on our second day but this was probably a connection issue. The sleepout was a bonus for a quiet place to retreat which our daughter enjoyed. Overall a lovely place to stay.

Beautiful Sandy Bay
What an amazing trip, I've never been to waiheke and the little bay we stayed in right on the beach linked to our driveway was wonderful. Bring your own vehicle just makes things so much easier as well. Coming back in a few months time for sure

Fantastic
Our stay was wonderful thank you. Great property with a lovely view.
The property manager was very helpful on arrival also.
Very minor issue with the smoke alarm so close to the kitchen meant it went off while trying to cook anything but otherwise holiday was perfect.

House was spacious, and clean.
House was spacious, and clean. A lot of mozzies. Great views. Driveway was very steep and tight for car, bushes need to be cut back. Beds very comfortable. The beach in particular is a lovely bay, we encountered sting rays. Had Wi-Fi. Kitchen has a cupboard that's like a tardis. We enjoyed our stay here, we got married on sandy bay beach and had a lovely reception at the waiheke resort palm beach. We left a white/cream top behind, hope we can have it returned if found.

Great location and the kitchen facilities are fantastic and our boys loved biking into town every da
Great location and the kitchen facilities are fantastic and our boys loved biking into town every day on the Ebikes. The only downside for us was the driveway being narrow due to hedges either side so not suitable for SUV's or our VW Amrok. Wouldn't stay here again due to that reason and bringing a jetski but would recommend to others with smaller car as the house has everything you need and more.

Excellent property and location.
Excellent property and location. It was great to be able to see the whole beach just below the house and to watch the tide and boats come and go. All the owners need to do is get those power lines put underground, but overall we could not have been happier with our accommodation choice.
