Lovely apartment, beautiful view. Did not realise how many stairs we would have to drag the bags up and down. One bed was great, the other so soft it seemed broken. I’m sure the restaurant and view would be amazing however we went in winter and it was only open on the Saturday.

The access to the room was down multiple very very steep steps. When booking it indicated breakfast was included, however a sign outside the (closed) reception advised the restaurant was closed on a Monday (we stayed Sunday night). The key was left in a box, and we had to climb a huge number of stairs to return the key in the morning. Some basic things like soap for the hand basin would have been nice. A box of tissues would also be nice.

Waiheke Island Resort is really a nice play to stay. This was not our first time that we stayed there, and we will come again and again. Absolutely perfect place, strongly recommended. One comment for property maintenance: please punch down all nails on wooded deck that are sticking out. It is not safe to walk bare feet on the deck.

Very nice stay with a clean, comfortable, spacious room. The pool and spa were great, with lovely views from there and our room. We had enjoyed a quiet night, felt very secluded despite large number of rooms. Bus stop right outside for easy access. Would recommend if you are travelling light as there is a steep walk to reception and many stairs to rooms. Would definitely stay again.

Great location. An easy walk to the beach, with cafe/restaurant nearby. Had 2 nights with massively noisy party people in the unit next door, banging crashing & load talking & music until 1.30am. No Staff or reception on site to sort out the noise problem. Very disapointing

Two day stay

This place looked amazing online but in reality it is extremely run down, not well kept and in need of some serious repairs and maintenance.
