"Pros: Charming cottage in the bush - feels secluded but it’s very close to the best beach on Waiheke. Native birdsong. Cheap. Cons: The front door key was difficult to use." ~Tom

"Pros: Location was as described. A 5 minute walk to Palm Beach. Villa was fairly spacious, 2 good sized bedrooms/beds and 2 toilets. Views from the deck were stunning. Cons: Villa didn't seem to be maintained or equipped as we would expect eg. no microwave, only 3 coffee mugs (for a 4-person unit), umbrella on deck was unsafe as it fell over all the time. Overall, unit felt tired and neglected. Also: villa advertises that it has use of swimming pool and hot tub. It is not made clear that the villa is in the grounds of a hotel complex and there is a clear sign on the pool gate that it is only to be used by hotel guests. Lastly, there was a terrible septic tank smell on our arrival, requiring the windows to be kept shut." ~Bronwyn
