Be prepared for the steep drive down to the house or park on the road and walk down the drive. Even the walk is steep like a lot of Waiheke. There isn't a lot of room for preparing food, but you can have a picnic outside in the sun! Andre is a good communicator and has great knowledge about the island and where to go. The location was perfect for us, very central. The room, bed, linen, lighting, computer table, shower, towels, etc. were very nice. The ferns and birds out the back were nice and the place felt very private and quiet.
