If you are lucky enough to book in time to stay at Joie de Vivre, (it's so popular that you have to get in well in advance) you have a real treat in store. Imagine being able to sit on the private little desk, enjoy a glass of wine (or not), and see the sea, all the way down to the beach, listen to the palms whispering, feel the warmth...be able to walk down the hill to the beach...the apartment ment is all so well-designed, with clever little touches, every comfort and convenience thought of....if you ever thought of experiencing Waiheke, this is a wonderful place to start. To start...because you'll want to come back.
