“We had a lovely time thank you very much.”
Some cob webs and dirty corners but for the most part the linen and towels were fresh and very clean. Everything worked well and we could relax in comfort celebrating a 50th birthday. Thank you

Mele “This was the perfect location for a well needed rest from cacophony of the city life.”
We ended our year and rang in the new year here, with our little family. The house was perfect for our family of 6. A main living room with kitchen and dining area, was warm and inviting and We took out the kayaks on our beach trips - which was a real treat since we didnât need to hire any during our stay. We will definitely book here again. Highly recommended for families who want a quiet and restful retreat from the city life.
- Mele, December 2023Grace “We had such a good time at the fat pigeon!”
There was enough space for us to all come together in the living areas and also have enough privacy when we wanted time alone in our bedrooms. Loved the location with the beach just down the road. Awesome views and loved having the sky tv for watching the rugby together at the end of our days exploring. Would definitely recommend to other people and will definitely be back!
- Grace, April 2023Max “House was amazing, we all absolutely loved it.”
It will be first on the list next time we come back to Waiheke. Thank you!

- Ismael, March 2023Brooke “Lovely bach modern and clean with great facilities for our family of 6.”
Thank you.
- Brooke, January 2022simon “Very lovely and cozy place.”
Kids thought the trail in the backyard was cool and the track by the driveway gave us a good workout. Everything you needed in a house was there including board games and books. Will have to come back in summer to go for a swim at the beach. Thanks for a great stay.
- simon, August 2021Khaled “The place is located well and close to alot of the attractions, and has a beautiful view of the water.”
However the property could do with more attention and readiness for a comfortable stay. Seemed like it has not be well maintained. The manager of the property is nice and helpful.
- Khaled, January 2021Lisa “The property was perfect for our weekend - away from the hustle and bustle, warm and welcoming and just the respite we needed.”
Diana was an amazing property manager and an absolute pleasure to work with as our schedule was fluid due to travel logistics from around the country. Couldnât recommend highly enough. One point to note - weâd recommend a car to aid your travel to and from, and around island.
- Lisa, November 2020Wendy “Fabulous location.”

- Ashleigh, January 2020Jo “Thanks for a great stay.”
This house was perfect for our group of 5 adults. The adventurers enjoyed the kayaks and we cooked a couple of great meals in the very well appointed kitchen. The main bathroom and bedroom were lovely and such a surprise. A very positive experience thanks
