Perfect central Oneroa base

Not the first time we have stayed. This is perfect for a family with two young ones wanting a central location to tour Waiheke. Modern and well laid out. Right by the coffee stall and bus stops, and with a perfect view of the water.

This was THE perfect place to stay on Waiheke. It is right in the middle of ‘town’ and so easy to just pop downstairs for coffee, restaurants, shopping. And the views from the living room and deck are amazing. The beach is a quick walk. The ferry terminal is even walkable in about 15-20 minutes. It’s a sleepy town, so even though it’s on the main road, it was very quiet after about 8 pm. Everything was clean, nicely decorated, and felt big and spacious.

Great village location

This is a very nice 2 bedroom bach in the central village of Oneroa. There are sweeping views from the deck of the ocean looking over the stores of Oneroa. From here you can walk to the restaurants and beach. There are steps up to the back of the bach, the decor is nice and it is equipped with mostly everything you need. There is freeview TV and dishwasher as well. Easy to get to from bus stop and ferry. Only suggestion for improvement - would benefit from the addition of a heatpump for winter (air conditioning in summer too).

Dissapointing stay

Nice apartment, but no air conditioning made it impossible to enjoy our stay or sleep as it was too hot, couldnt open the windows at night due to being bitten by mosquitos. One very small fan which was very noisey - I would consider installing air con Sofas very uncomfortable

Response from VrboOwner on 23 Mar 2020
Hi Georgina I am pleased you enjoyed your stay. I am sorry but no there is no air conditioning. It has been very hot recently & yes I agree it does make sleeping difficult! But we find that leaving windows open during the day to get a breeze through, then closing at dusk to avoid the mozzies does the trick. Yes a fan is provided, this is quite new but we will check it is in full working order. We will get the sofas checked - we have always had positive feedback on this property so will take this up with the owners! Kind regards Be My Guest Waiheke

Perfect Central Location

The Apartment was centrally located, everything available on your doorstep for exploring Waiheke, dining out or buying supplies to stay in. We would definitely stay again if heading to Waiheke. There were supplies available for our use, the mosquito plugins were appreciated - as there's no getting away from them! Also, the laundry powder, soaps and general kitchen items – these made the stay a home away from home. It would be improved by having a more recent model TV so we could watch something other than Freeview and we couldn't find the DVD player.

Perfect apartment in the heart of Oneroa Village

We had a great long weekend stay at The Waiheke Pad. The cute apartment was perfect for our family of 4 and we enjoyed being able to walk down the stairs and get to restaurants, cafes and shops within 30 seconds. We loved sitting out on the deck with great views of Oneroa Beach and the bay. Didn't have any struggles with noise at night and the beds are comfortable. I would be sure to not leave any food or crumbs out as we encountered an ant infestation even though we didn't cook any meals in the apartment. Luckily ant bait was supplied and we did our best to clean up so we didn't attract more.

Couples getaway

The location of this property was fabulous. We were a little worried that it was going to be noisy but it wasn't. The rooms suit more a family than 2 couples as one couple had to sleep in single beds. Overall a very pleasant stay. Would have been nice to have had some milk in the fridge for a cuppa when we arrived!

Really nice place to stay

It was a beautiful property to stay in marred only by the shockingly cheap ironing board. We were visiting very nice restaurants and couldn't iron our clothes properly. Also a water pistol for the seagulls would be good.

Many thanks for the feedback! We have replaced the ironing board & had a discussion with the seagulls ;-)
