The house is absolutely beautiful — very warm, bright, and decorated with great taste and attention to detail. The views are spectacular and make the stay even more special. The house is extremely well equipped; the kitchen has everything you could need, and all the spaces are very comfortable and thoughtfully set up. The location is excellent, just a 10-minute walk from Palm Beach, which was very convenient. Hayden was an excellent host: friendly, responsive, and made sure everything was perfect. We truly loved our stay and would definitely come back.

The property is a typical old style Waiheke Bach but was the cleanest place I’ve ever been to despite its age. Great for pets with totally secure yard. Access would not be good for anyone with mobility issues but fine for us.Good communication with owner. Overall a comfortable property

Super fam getaway with our dog

This was a delightful place to stay for a long weekend getaway, our family of five enjoyed the charming, relaxed vibe and best of all having our dog on holiday with us! The location worked well relying on public transport, and we appreciated the proximity to the beach. Would love to come stay again.

Waiheke stay

Clean and well kept property with all the amenities. My only suggestion would be to have a few windows with mosquito nets so the lovely breeze can be enjoyed throughout the house on hot summer evenings. We would stay here again.

Cute and quirky house with everything you need, heaps of room for 6 adults, and beautiful location. It really is Hill top and I'd suggest driving to the beach but its beautifully set up for outside entertaining and inside relaxing.

Great retro bach with enough modern comforts to keep the family happy.

My family have enjoyed our second stay at this bach. We all love Palm Beach, and the location is handy to the beach and only a short drive, or bus ride, to get supplies. Lovely courtyard and bbq area.
