Very nice hosts and the property is very nice. I think it is best serviced with a car but you could use public transport and walk to the beach if fit. I think it is fair to say that we were one of the first visitors as the room lacked curtains and a lock on the door. Whilst crime in Waiheke is probably near zero, having arrived from London this unnerved my wife. The room definitely needs curtains as the neighbours house can see into the room via quite big windows. You will be up early unless you can sleep in a very bright room. If this is rectified then I would recommend the property. It's private, quiet and decorated nicely. Also the nearest beach is absolutely stunning.
