We unfortunately had a terrible stay and left early due to huge construction going on at the very next adjacent property. It was impossible to hear/relax or sleep due to graders/diggers/jack hammers/compounders etc going on the entire day, beginning at 6.30am. There was also no power or hot water in the sleep out which in the cold weather wasn't pleasant. As we were there with overseas visitors who had never been to Waiheke it spoiled the experience. Sadly we couldn't reach the owner to discuss alternative accommodation or cancellation which made it more frustrating and upsetting.
In fairness, on our return 1 of the owners did make contact in response to our messages and was apologetic explaining that although they had been aware there was to be construction, they were not aware it had started. They offered us a 1 day refund for the inconvenience, which was appreciated.
This is a cute/quaint little cottage and has everything you need for a self catering time away if you are looking for a very remote place to stay (need to use transport to go anywhere) and it is extremely noisy at times due to a very busy road off which it is situated (it does quieten down after 4pm).
