This is the perfect place to escape the world. The million dollar views over Huruhi Bay are exactly as promised, and you get them from both inside and outside the cottage! Be careful though, it is far too easy to anchor yourself on the deck drinking (too much) wine and enjoying the views. The cottage is bright and airy inside, and perfectly sized for short and longer solo or couple get aways. Oneroa village is a short, five minute walk through Alison Park where you will find restaraunts and cafes; a small supermarket and organic grocer; retail shops, including a discount and local wine store; beaches; and the local bus service. Blackpool Beach is a short walk down the hill, and provides stunning views of Huruhi Bay. It is also where you will find the only Marae on Waiheke Island. From the cottage you can also access a network of tramping trails that will take you through some of the most beautiful scenery New Zealand has to offer. Cable Bay and Mudbrick wineries are an easy walk from the property; although, you are never very far from a winery where ever you find yourself on Waiheke! Alice and Chris were the most wonderful hosts, and could not have done more to make me feel welcome. They repsonded quickly my questions and went out of their way to make my stay memorable, including reminding me to watch the Women's Rugby World Cup 2021 final - what a game! The cottage had everything I needed, and represents outstanding value given its location, views and amenity. I am already planning and looking forward to my next stay with Alice and Chris.
