“We loved our stay at Whare Iti, and will definitely book again if we come back.”
+The location is perfect! Two doors down from the closest restaurant, Obees, and the Main Street of Oneroa, but SO peaceful!
−No complaints at all! The property is lovely, beautifully decorated, well appointed, great view and quite private considering it’s at the rear of two other properties. The private rear deck was a bonus. A heads up about the stairs would have been good, but we only had to do it once, so not a big deal especially when we realised how great the place is! My only suggestion would be a full length mirror. We were there for a wedding and couldn’t complete the fit check until we went to a friend’s accomodation.

“Sunrise sunset dream location on Waiheke.”
+Amazing location Incredible sea views All day sun Walking distance to beach and cafes
−No stovetop. No kitchen sink. Having to wash dishes in bathroom not ideal. Plus bathroom sink partially blocked. Toilet + toilet brush container could do with a good clean, as well as beside the fridge.

“Wonderful for a short stay.”
+Amazing view and proximit to the village.
−A dishwasher would have been good. Apologies, I didn't see the note about taking out the rubbish until after we left, so I suggest you place a sign on the bin in the kitchen.

“Stunning views and very convenient location. Highly recommend.”
+Stunning views and very convenient location. The host communicated really well and made everything very simple and easy.
−It feels petty and really didn’t detract from the stay but room for improvement and things we thought worth mentioning. Little things like providing a second wine glass, having the tea towels and dishwashing liquid in a place you could readily see them (these were hidden behind the bin and we didn’t discover them until the end of our stay). Some fly screens on the doors would be a big improvement, being able to have the doors open and get the fresh air whilst keeping the insects and mosquitos out.

“Stunning and comfortable.”
+Awesome location, parking availability and right on the edge of town, so it was an easy walk to the local restaurants and shops.
−Maybe some outdoor cover - an umbrella was provided for the outside table, but the outdoor bbq cooking setup would have been a bit more complicated had there been any rain.

“Great for us on a 2 night stay, would like to know about outside kitchen in winter.”
+Very comfortable. Great location. Good bathroom. Only reason to contact host was to ask for an early check in. Very helpful.
−Limited kitchen/cooking facilities and kitchen sink was outside. Not a problem for us but good to know if it’s winter! Perhaps an overhead cover of some sort would help. Only thing that stopped it being a 10.

“The most gorgeous place to unwind after a long flight!”
+We couldn’t have dreamed of a better stay on the island. The property is so beautiful, very easy to access via taxi from the ferry terminal. The view is gorgeous and we had everything we needed for a perfect hideaway for a few nights.
