Lauren and her husband achieved that wonderful balance of being warm and welcoming hosts, while not being intrusive. Their helpful recommendations guided our exploration of the local vineyards, and restaurants. We enjoyed the views over the local vineyards from our small outdoor table, and the proximity to three great restaurants, cafe (check out the pastries!), and safe, gorgeous swimming beach, all within an easy walking distance. Our comfortable and clean accommodation included those thoughtful little extras, that travellers need. This peaceful get away is well suited to a mature couple keen to explore the epicurean delights of Waiheke, idyllic beaches, and range of walks.
