My message to you is simple: if you are visiting Waiheke, stay HERE. It's not located near any shopping, but that is the charm. It's so quiet and rejuvenating, and Robyn and Colin (and Ollie) are wonderful hosts. And the homemade breakfasts that other reviewers have spoken of are just as delicious as described.
I've asked them repeatedly if they'd mind my moving in with them- for the view alone! It's right off a postcard.
To be honest, I'm not really sure why I'm sharing this wonderful place with anyone, as I'd rather keep this piece of heaven all to myself.
