Our experience at Sea La Vie was amazing. It is perched on a hilltop overlooking Onetangi Bay, with the bush and its melodious birdsong right behind you. The studio is new and kept in immaculate condition, with a very modern and chic vibe to it. Chrissy was a wonderfully warm host with good recommendations and very easygoing. You do need a car to get around the island from here (or be prepared to do a lot of uphill and downhill walking), but nothing is far away and it is very peaceful and quiet throughout the day and night.

We loved our too short time here and it is definitely at the top of our list when we return to Waiheke!
