Louis and Ruby are exceptional hosts. Louis is very kind and considerate and went above and beyond during our stay. Ruby is an adorable delight! They did everything they could to make our stay on Waiheke Island a wonderful experience.
The photos of the property do not do it justice! The view is even more spectacular, and the home is nicer than we expected from the photos. Louis and Ruby are conveniently located on the property, but their home is completely separate so guests have complete privacy, but also the convenience of the host onsite. The home is clean and well maintained.
It's a beautiful and easy walk to town. The distance is about a mile, and Little Oneroa Beach is on the way. Restaurants, a market, and boutique shops are in town. Ruby and Louis provide a book with menus from the local restaurants and other information.
We visited in the winter, and while very few homes in the area have central heat, we were cozy and warm. Extra blankets and space heaters were available, including a heater in the bathroom so we were always comfortable.
Louis and Ruby set up a double air mattress since four of us were traveling together. In the evening, we could all gather on the air mattress and the couches to watch movies (also provided).
They kept us well fed with breakfast items and snacks. Cupboards were stocked with granola, cereal, bread, jelly, teas, coffee, etc. We bought snacks at the store in town, and there was a refrigerator with yogurt, milk, and bottled water for our use.
We would highly recommend this location and these hosts.
