The Treehouse, Oneroa

SaraRating, 5 stars1 month ago

Cute and quirky tree house. Peaceful and quiet bush location. Best suited to a single couple given the openess of the house, but still perfectly do-able for two couples. Easy walk to Oneroa (Beach and Shops) and also to Cable Bay Vineyard. Could also easily walk to ferry as well (assuming you didn't have too many bags!)

Enclosure Bay Studio with Breakfast

Ally & SimonRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago

We had a lovely stay at Renee and James's place. Enclosure Bay is beautiful and just a minute away on foot - we had fun swimming there. The suite is tastefully decorated and well-equipped, with a very comfy bed. Unfortunately we gave ourselves a flat battery and they very kindly jumped our car! We really appreciated the help and hospitality. Thank you!

Lovely place to stay. The location less than a minutes walk to Enclosure Bay was perfect for slow days at home, while the size of Waiheke meant that it was easy to buy groceries and go out if we wanted. Rooms cosy and comfortable.
