What a beautiful, restful apartment- much more spacious than the photos show. Outlook to the water in one direction and gorgeous greenery with cute bach’s in the other direction. Very comfortable beds, everything you could wish for. The shops, bus stop and excellent cafe (Bisou) is just down the road. Thank you very much.

The apartment was spacious and spotless and the hosts were friendly and caring. It was well appointed and had great amenities making this a very comfortable stay. The only downside was the very intermittent access to the internet, but on the island - I could live with that.

Long weekend stay

The property was very clean and well presented. The deck on a nice day or evening is a great place to chill out with the spa pool, or to enjoy a beer or wine, a BBQ and the view was lovely. Easy walking distance to restaurants / bars and a convenience store. Would definitely book here without hesitation if visiting Waiheke again.

Great short break location

Lovely airy and bright apartment, and well equipped. Excellent location if you are travelling by bus on the island as Surfdale is on most bus routes. Plus there is a general store, cafe, bakery and pub just a short walk away. Friendly hosts. Highly recommended!

Great spot, tons of space

Excellent for a couple, easy to get to and from. We had a car but it is on the bus route too if needed. A huge living area with comfortable furniture to relax in after our busy days out and about. We would stay here again. Light sleepers might find road noise from 6am an issue however. Not much overnight traffic though

Modern apartment need hire car

Apartment is spacious, modern and has a lovely indoor outdoor flow plus private spa pool. Great for relaxing but main bedroom backs onto busy Rd. Our hire car was important to get around the island to the nice beeches etc…. The apartment was a good base but quite expensive.

Relaxing Stay

This was a nice relaxing stay on Waiheke Island. We were really happy with our accommodation - clean and modern. Pleased we had our car so we could dine at the restaurants in Oneroa (there was nothing close). Just a note that there are three flights of stairs to get to the apartment. We were OK with this but worth noting for those who may not be so mobile. Hosts were relaxed and just left us to it. A perfect, relaxing holiday

Fabulous Waiheke Apartment

We were pleasantly surprised with the Surfdale Apartment. So modern and so very spacious. We were over on Waiheke for a family wedding which was only 10mins drive away. It’s only a few minutes walk to the Surfdale Shops which provided us with all we needed. A short walk down to the beach, connecting to the esplanade walk around to the next bay. The yoghurt and granola left for our breakfast was unexpected but greatly appreciated. We would highly recommend this as a great stay when visiting the island.

Better than the photos

Beautifully presented apartment, with everything you need - we really enjoyed our time here! The Chromecast meant we could log into our Netflix when the weather turned bad (luckily at the end of our trip), and the spa was a nice touch also. The building defirniely does make some weird noises, but if you close both doors to the bedroom it helps! We would stay here again for sure. It was lovely.

Surfdale Apartment

My wife and I would stay here again. The pictures did not do this place justice for the room and views we had. Please add a photo of the roof top area as this is a winner. This is a large apartment with a small bedroom but large open plan living space. I have only marked down a few areas as per the rating questions asked. We never saw the property manager but didn't need to. They left us to ourselves and we had no issues. The Weber BBQ on the rooftop was actually very dirty and needed a good clean and a "burn off" afterwards which I did, but may have just been an oversight. A little maintenance and care here would be good, but didn't detract from the cleanliness of the rest of the apartment. Small fridge/freezer tray for anyone staying a length of time, but given the layout not much can be done here, and the bathroom is small but completely functional, and again not much can be done about the layout. Overall this place did exceed our expectations.
