Holiday rentals near Atawhai Whenua Reserve

Fabulous stay! The property is in a beautiful setting amid lots of green trees and bushes with lots of lovely birds flitting about. The beds are very comfortable, the kitchen facilities adequate, cosy TV room and a beautiful outdoor space with magnificent views. There are quite a few stairs to the apartment. Lovely touch was the inclusion of muesli, yoghurt, milk and tea and coffee. Rozelle was a lovely host who gave us some great recommendations for our stay.

Lucy is one of the kindest hosts we’ve ever met - and we have stayed in hundreds of places around the world! She went above and beyond to make our stay a memorable one - fantastic communication and generous beyond compare. Lucy’s home is a peaceful light-filled haven away from the hustle and bustle of Oneroa but close enough you can walk there in 15-20 mins along the esplanade/beach and over a gentle, undemanding hill. We loved exploring the area on foot and also walked to Mudbrick winery and Little Oneroa Beach. If walking isn’t for you, you can jump on one of the frequent local buses to get anywhere on the island - Palm Beach was a favourite of ours for swimming as unfortunately the Surfdale beach (easy 2 mins walk from Lucy’s) had a black algae outbreak so we couldn’t swim there (not a common occurrence we understand)! Lucy’s place is right across the road from a wonderful French cafe where we started our day with a coffee and delicious crepe or pastry. There are also two small supermarkets for picking up any groceries and a pub and restaurant (neither of which we went to so can’t comment on them). So many fabulous places to eat on the island it’s impossible to list them here! Lucy’s place is the perfect place to recharge your batteries and an ideal location to explore Waiheke from - get in touch with Lucy to find out more!

Stayed at Surfdale for two nights and was thrilled with the space, modernity and cleanliness of the apartment. Further pros are - comfortable,warm, well appointed kitchen, bbq and spa outside on the roof, views of water (left hand side), close to bus stop, close to shops, nice lounge, double curtains, entertainment and privacy Cons are bathroom modest size, but this is offset by the hot spa outside all to yourself! Great stay thank you for having us

We loved our stay at Tutiri! Was perfect walking distance to Oneroa for coffee or food or the local beach. Accomodation was light, bright and clean. Have already recommended it to friends!
