Louise's place was a great location for our stay on Waiheke Island. It is a short walk to the beach (although quite steep so be prepared). It is also a very short walk to two of favorite establishments we visited while there (Casita Miro and Obsidian Winery). Louise gave great recommendations on local spots and was easy to get ahold of for any needs we had. We took the local bus out to her studio and it was quite easy and more economical than taking a taxi. Thanks for a great stay!
