Birthday get away

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.

Fabulous bach and experience!

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
