At check in, Joe, who is the cutest And funniest young teen ever, walked us through the house and checked us in. Christians place is in a great central location. You could walk from the ferry if your luggage is light enough. There are plenty of shops and restaurants very near by. We rented e-bikes from his shop to tour the island which was fun. We biked to Palm Beach then to Onetangi Bay where we stopped for lunch and a swim and stopped at a winery for a tasting before heading back. Waiheke Island is fantastic and Christian’s place is a great,comfortable place to stay while seeing it all. Do bring books or games to entertain in the evenings though as we found Oneroa pretty quiet after the sun goes down.
