Sunshine Cottage by the Sea | Stay Waiheke

MarietteRating, 5 stars6 months ago

Very happy with our stay. All the amenities we could need and a lovely private location a stones throw from the beach. This went down well with our 3yo boy who had Onetangi beach on his back door for the weekend. Enjoyed listening to the waves at night and an added bonus that we could bring our dog too. Unfortunately there were some very noisy neighbour's who we think were guests at another Airbnb, December is a busy time of year on the island but we still had a wonderful stay regardless.

This was a magnificent apartment. The pictures don’t do it justice - especially the balcony overlooking the harbor. It is well covered, so in a soft rain, you can still sit outside. The rest of the apartment was very comfortable. The instructions to get into the apartment were very clear. Michelle and Chris were lovely, helpful and communicative hosts. They responded quickly to all communications. I highly recommend this property!
