Waiheke Island family rentals

We had a fantastic stay at Whare iti on Waiheke. The accommodation was perfect for a short stay. It was modern and well appointed, it had a comfortable and homely feel and a great view over the bay. It is very well located with just a short stroll to the village of Oneroa with its shopping, bars and great restaurants . Highly recommend.

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!
