Waiheke is full of great views, but this one really is quite special, so much so it takes your breath away when you enter the house. have to say I didnt head downstairs where our friends were staying, but can say that our bedroom was a little on the small side, but quite frankly you don't really spend much time there and it was a smarter choice putting more room into the lounge and balcony for those views. Didnt cook so cant say what kitchen is like but certainly looked like they had all the utensils you need. The steps down (and up!) to the beach are actually not that bad and the beach is a wonderful place for a swim, as is the Arcadia restaurant and the corner shop for a coffee and toastie in the morning.
A beautiful place to stay.
