When we first booked Cliff and Gaye’s place Villa Pacifica, we were concerned that the location would be too remote and it would be difficult to explore and enjoy the island. Upon our arrival our concerns were quickly alleviated. Cliff picked us up at the ferry terminal, and gave us a tour of and directions to the essential locations on the island. We were then taken to Villa Pacifica. When we saw it, we instantly knew it was right for us. There were incredible vistas, the bird life was fascinating and plentiful, and during our stay we walked to a local winery and down various nature trails. The use of a free car allowed us to visit popular beaches, wineries and restaurants, always returning to the beauty and tranquility of Villa Pacifica on our own time. Cliff and Gaye were very accommodating which gave us the opportunity to fully enjoy Waiheke Island. We highly recommend Villa Pacifica and thank Cliff and Gaye for a wonderful stay!
