Summary: Cool place

Summary: We wondered if we were the first to stay there in a while. A lot of cobwebs in the corners, also no trash can in the bathroom or kitchen (ie. none inside) though when we asked the manager he went out and bought one! Did not have the correct wifi password until 3rd day. SPA was excellent. Too bad there aren't more windows that open, it was quite hot inside. Also mattress uncomfortably lumpy - had to sleep on top of all the blankets for comfort. A towel rail would benefit the place too.

Summary: Property location is great and close to the bus stop. Short bus ride down into palm beach was handy for local food and shops. Check in was great and I was called by the property manager to check we had arrived safely.WiFi password was incorrect on the booking details but was given to us verbally on this phone call but my message response wasn’t answered until the next day.The hot tub was difficult to access as there as no steps/ladders to access it. There is nowhere to place the top covering as so we were only able to fold back half of the cover. Unfortunately the hot tub was over heating and show “OH” flashing sign as well as “44 degree” so it was not safe to use during our stay. Unfortunately this is only discovered on our last night when it was out of office hours. On our last morning we had no water at the property meaning we could not use the restroom and checked out early. Understandably, Waiheke runs on tank water but we were surprised given we had been vigilant with our water use. Something to bear in mind would be, there is no hairdryer or toiletries at the property so ensure you bring your own! Also if you are not a fan of spiders this may not be the one for you, given it is slightly in the bush, there were lots of spiders in each room.

Summary: The house is gorgeous, and in a stunning surrounding. We loved being able to relax in the hot tub and sit around the fire pit at night, enjoying some wine purchased at the local vineyards! The amenities suited us fine for a couple of days to cook, and make tea/coffee. The location was perfect - a short drive to the local supermarket, and the wineries and sights are never too far on the island. Overall, we loved our stay in this unique house and will definitely be back!

Summary: Good central location on the island, was a neat place, very different than anywhere we’ve stayed before which is what I was after. Had everything we needed and was neat waking up in the trees.

Summary: We had seen this property on George Clarke's Small Spaces. Love the property, felt very special to walk down the path and into a home with music playing upon arrival (love the playlist btw) and underfloor heating. A romantic night with a glass of wine in the spa pool. However sadly our stay was tainted by minor things that you don't expect to find when paying for a premium property. No body wash, shampoo/conditioner, or hand wash in the bathroom and a $2 countdown hand wash in the kitchen, no matches to light the fire (wet Newspaper) and a very dirty mouldy shower! Its's just miserable quite frankly. Come on owner, pay your cleaner extra time or get a new one. I have photos. Yuk. It would also have been nice to have some outdoor furniture so we could sit on the magnificent deck and have a wine.

Summary: This house is great looking and it's a treat to see it sitting in the bush looking sleek and edgy but: 1. The pitch of the ceiling make it very difficult for 2 people to maneuver on the mezzanine bedroom level and onto the bed, you have to climb over one another or hunch over and sidle around the it. I'm only 178cm so anyone taller would not fit at all. 2. The bathroom is very hard to use, you can't stand over the toilet and getting in the shower takes some talent as opening the shower door blocks the entrance. There are also no towel rails or shelves anywhere. 3. The house's remoteness makes it great but there's nothing around you for supplies. Some milk at least in the fridge would be a nice touch and soap and shampoo for the bathroom as well would be great. 4. There are no towels for taking to the beach, The owner requests you don't take the house towels to the beach but who travels with beach towels? Supplying some would be very helpful instead of having to purchase them on the island. With the price of this place per night I expected a premium experience but even at cheap motels you would be looked after better. This place could be fantastic with some extra effort put into hosting.

Summary: The house was exactly as it was shown on the booking and instructions were simply and easy to follow. Would highly recomend this place for somebody looking for something a little different.
