Amazing location, great communication and stunning view!
Pros:
Being able to use the Waiheke Resort facilities was a real plus. Definitely recommend the pool pass. Also loved the convenience of grabbing a coffee at cafe in morning.
Great deck that gets lots of sun
Stunning view - amazing to wake up to! Deck looks over entire Palm Beach.
Easy walk down to Palm Beach, dairy and cafe.
Overall good value! Just what we were after for a short getaway.
Cons:
Lots of mosquitoes - definitely come armed with repellent. Understand it’s summer and amongst the bush but place would really benefit from a few mosquito plugs.
Bring your own pillow - most of pillows provided were very thin/old
Amenities - only the bare minimum provided I.e three plates. Not sure whether this is to deter extra guests or force guests to wash dishes straight away but found this a bit annoying especially if you wanted to use a plate to prep food etc then need to wash immediately to use to eat off.
Cleanliness/smell - there’s no dishwasher so some dishes weren’t properly cleaned and utensils, dish cloth with food left on it. The cupboard with washing machine also lets off a smell...think it’s old water? Smell was quite intense at times. The cleaners also wait from 9am outside door waiting for you to leave which we found rude.
