Louise and Grant were very gracious hosts, and made sure we had everything we needed for our stay on Waiheke. They were always available and even gave us a lift to the ferry, unasked. We loved their spacious studio stay, and couldn't have asked for a better location than their beautiful peninsula. Such wonderful views! It was fun getting to know them a bit and have someone to answer our many questions.

Though busing is fairly simple to get the hang of, we highly recommend trying out the e-bikes, as they were really fun and an easy way to get around town once you got over your fears of riding on narrow roads with fast-moving cars. We, personally, could not have made it over the hills on regular bikes.

Overall, we had a wonderful times and will definitely recommend a visit to Waiheke. Just go with the flow, as we found that people there operate at their leisure. Thank you Louise and Grant for giving us a taste of the island life!
