Island Oasis

Its a lovely quiet part of Waiheke, with the property just a few metres from the beach. Place has everything you need, encircled by trees and birds. Its a lovely relaxing place, close to bus stop and with good walks nearby. Love to come again!

Good location and well equiped

The Bach is well equiped for self catering, overlooking Rocky Bay. But the cleanliness was poor, extenuating the rather drab and cheerless rooms. Everything is functional, but old and tired. After some cleaning and flowers, we made it acceptable for our stay. The saving grace is that the location is ideal for bush walks and socialising with the friendly locals. The islands winery’s are near by, as is shopping.

Relaxing

Very relaxing. Busing was easy. Taxi out to dinner was easy. Local hall provided a beautiful breakfast for Sunday morning. Cooking for ourselves that night was not so easy. We hadn’t realised the only staples provided were salt and pepper. However we figured out the oven and all was good. Having no local shop in walking distance requires a bit more planning than we are use to. Would stay again .

Fantastic natural setting

We really enjoyed our stay at Gull Cottage. This traditional kiwi bach provided us with peace and quiet and a relaxing setting. We appreciated the nature that surrounded us and particularly the bird life. Beautiful sunsets. Tranquil harbour.
