Helen was such a gracious and wonderful host! Her space was beautiful, clean, and the pictures do not do her property justice. She communicated with me regularly and quickly before and during my stay. I was very appreciative that she was able to arrange transportation to and from her home as it’s a good ways from the ferry. Despite some last minute car issues out of her control, transportation went very smoothly! There’s a restaurant a 8 minute walk away, just be careful as the shoulder of the road is quite narrow and cars drive by fast. As a traveller from America, I really appreciated the wireless phone chargers on the nightstand so I don’t have to fiddle with an adapter before bedtime. Helen also cooked me a lovely breakfast during my stay and even let me store my luggage while I was off on a wine tour. I absolutely recommend booking a room at Helen’s place while your visiting Waiheke! Cheers!
