Owner accused me of being in the home a day after my rental had ended. I was already back in the united states. The house was great. The car rental provided needs maintenance. The brakes in particular. Other than that everything was ok. Very pretty island.

This is a simply wonderful place to stay - private, romantic and unforgettable. Having a car with the property makes it even better and the host, Peter, was great at providing all the necessary info. Highly recommended!

Wonderful place to stay

Property is an ideal location away from the main activity on the Island but close enough to enjoy everything the island has to offer. Great place, wonderful views, quiet and peaceful with all the amenities. The advantage of having a car in with the property is significant enabling you to get out and about without relying on taxis or buses - gives you the freedom to enjoy the island.

This cottage is a charming place where you will feel so relax

This cottage is a charming place where you will feel so relax. The location secluded in the forest with an awesome view on Onetangui bay, is ideal to discover Waiheke Island. We can only advise everybody to stay in this cozy cottage which offers all the necessary and even the owner's own car, a real plus to easily enjoy all the wonderful places on the island. Thanks Peter for our great stay at Whisper cottage.

Peaceful, lovely house with amazing views

Everything was perfect- we enjoyed the great sea views in the daytime and the outside spa at night. The house was spacious, light filled and very well equipped. The car is a huge bonus for exploring beyond the lovely local area. Peter was a very friendly and responsive host. Thank you for the stay!

Car availabilty and spa both valuable. The outdoor stairs a little disconcerting at night and upon arrival, however the climb was worth it. Cottage beautifully clean and very well maintained. Thank you.

Lovely

Lovely holiday and the car was a fantastic asset. House beautiful and location and views amazing. One thing i would say prior to arriving we did not know there would be 50 plus steps to the property. Carrying suitcases etc was hard work. Saying that i would use again.

Great place to stay on Waiheke

This is a great place to stay, it's away from the bustle of Oneroa yet close enough to everything. Having a car included is a big plus. The place itself is stunning, with a great view of the water. The laundry facilities work great, and there's two drying racks (I wish more places had two!). The shower was hot. The bed was firm and comfortable. There's a separate a/c unit in the bedroom which we liked. The water is filtered but it's recommended to drink bottled water; there's a Four Square about a five minute drive away that sells 5L waters. We loved our stay here and would stay again
