This is a lovely home on Waiheke for your holiday. The location was an easy two minute walk to Surfdale and a 20-ish minute walk to Little Oneroa beach (with some hills). The street is very private and quiet. We heard nothing other than birds.
What really worked for us was that Gretchen allowed for pets (with prior arrangement) and there aren't a ton of places that will allow for that. Loved the coffee maker, the decks with southern views of the ocean, and having a dishwasher.
The beds were comfortable, nice linens and pillows. The smart TV was terrific (we had a few rainy days) and easy to use.
All in all, we really enjoyed our stay at this home and would love to come back.
