This place is ideally situated with a stunning view over a beautiful chunk of Waiheke coast. The design of the house is modern, elegant, simple. The kitchen is well equiped, finishes are of good quality. The real bonus are both the Jacuzzi and the vegetable garden, which opens up to a long staircase that goes down a wonderful little cove. A piece of paradise.
And despite all of that, we found the place clearly overpriced. Its key inconvenience is the lack of privacy, which I’m not okay with at a price point of $536 per night. The cabana is attached to the main house, and therefore both suffer from that privacy issue if they are rented by separate tenants. We were alone and very comfortable the first two days, but that was gone the minute the tenants of the main villa arrived with their child. Also in the cabana we rented, although the interior design is modern, there is no sound isolation between the living room and the bedrooms upstairs. That’s really not a problem if everyone lives on the same schedule, but it is more challenging if one is a night owl and another one is an early sleeper.
All things considered, this was a great place to stay at, and if you don’t mind the privacy issue or paying a bit more than needed, you’ll have an wonderful time in an exceptional location.
