Angela's place was a wonderful jumping off point to enjoy Waiheke. It was extremely comfortable and neat, and expertly decorated. The little touches she left behind made it extra special - a bottle of wine, a few snacks, and plenty of information about what to do on the island. Although it's not in the center of downtown attractions, we could walk (~5 minutes) to Palm Beach, which was gorgeous. We also walked to coffee in a cute little stretch about a mile away, and walked ~2 miles to a group of wineries (connected by walking trails) including Stonyridge. The walk was beautiful and it was a great way to start a day of wine tasting! For further locals, her place is next to a convenient bus stop (which seemed well utilized by locals and tourists alike). On top of the lovely home and good location, Angela was a gracious and communicative host! We would definitely stay again! Thanks, Angela!
