Find Hotels in Waiheke Island

This hotel is located by the beach, facing the sea with a beautiful environment! The hotel service is very attentive and considerate, the hotel owner is very delicate in making breakfast by himself! It's really worth experiencing!

We recently stayed at Cable Bay Views (studio 3). It’s a great set up, comfortable, well appointed, modern and comfortable. Great views, close (ie 5 ish mins walk) to Cable Bay, Mudbrick and Allpress, communicative owners, and reasonable value. Few points: - shame the fan in the bathroom automatically goes on synched to the bathroom lights (a pain at night!) and the bathroom bin was broken, the bathroom underfloor heating is great, the modern tv that comes out of the wall is great also!, kitchen is perfectly fine given I suspect barely anyone who stays there, eats there. Very popular given its location I imagine and we certainly would recommend it. Just a couple of small things to fix or potentially improve.

Nice big rooms & wonderfully local location. Very friendly & helpful staff. I'll be booking here again next time I'm in Waiheke. For the rate of the room I wasn't expecting such a big kitchen area & main living quarters. We booked as a group & all of the rooms I saw were nice & big

Disclaimer: Waiheke Island Resort management will likely refute this review point-by-point, but rest assured they’ll never be on site or do anything to correct the issues that led to the criticism. Waiheke Island is beautiful so enjoy the view, because that’s all you’re likely to enjoy at this place. Waiheke Island Resort has it all: resort in name only, closed ammenities, and unserviced rooms. (Please note: they DID make the beds in one of our rooms, once. But nothing else.) Have a fetish for smoke damaged rooms? They’ve got you covered. Want to book two rooms on the same reservation but ensure you’re on apposite ends of the property? WIR is the place to be. Dead palms? Check Rubbish under the deck? Check Staff without a single care or answer? Check and check Courtesy vans? They’ve got two but don’t expect to ride in one. Electric bikes? The signs say ‘yes’ the people say ‘no’. Food? Not if you’re visiting on a day that ends in ‘y’. Weddings? Let me get a divorce lawyer ready for you on speed dial. This place has so much potential, but for now that’s all it has. Let’s hope they put some money into the unheated pool with cracks so large you’d be right to ask if the property was somehow, no matter how scientifically impossible, damaged in the Kaikoura or Christchurch quakes. Or they could address the many many many steps throughout the place that need attention. The most radical thought? For less than $100 they could ensure rooms have cups and plates. (Especially when the “resort” restaurant isn’t open and the nearest shop is a 1.3km walk from the “resort”.) You’d hope the people working here (note: don’t expect anyone on site outside of 10am - 4pm on those pesky days ending in ‘y’) would care enough to try a bit harder or at least proactively suggest local restaurants or things to do given NOTHING IS OPEN OR AVAILABLE DURING PEAK SEASON AT THIS RESORT but, again, no. No a million times over. Most importantly— and this is the most serious criticism— this property is not for ANYONE with any kind of mobility challenges: you will be required to walk up and down significant inclines and there IS NO ASSISTANCE provided for you or your luggage. Not an issue for us but I would have been incandescent if parents or a mobility-challenged individual were with us. So, re-sort your holiday plans if this is the “resort” on your list for all the reasons above and more.

I am sorry to say. but no value for money. We paid close to 300 dollars for a one bedroom courtyard room. The bedroom is very small. We had a twin room configuration and this made the available space of more cramped. The shower/bathroom is very small and as it had a shower curtain, very inconvenient. The outside furniture has no pillows and was also not clean. Because of this reason it was not inviting to use. Room is also very dark, even during the day we turned the lights on. The apartments are nicely located close to the beach. I can not recommend to stay here.

We had bed and breakfast package for four nights. Room very clean, modern and spacious. We were moved from Deluxe to Superior because of no hot water. There wasn't much difference between D and S except the view in S was unobstructed and there were outside chairs and tables in S rooms. I think myself that all rooms should have tables and chairs outside. NO COMPENDIUM to explain facilities. NO SKY which surprised me. INTERNET in rooms,no limit on use. HEAT PUMP was blowing cold air onto the bed and I couldn't change it much so had to turn it off unfortunately. Didn't like to have windows open at night as there were no safety catches. The rooms were a bit bland and could do with a picture. BREAKFASTS were very good, especially the full cooked one. But I did find they weren't consistent. One day you would have 1 sausage, the next day 2. The pancakes were listed as having cream with them. One day there was some, the next day nothing. Staff were all very nice and helpful. A nice quiet place to stay.
