Karaka Sanctuary with Spa Pool by Waiheke Unlimited

Great location, tucked away and privately nestled in the bush. Enjoyed our stay.

The beds were not very comfortable.

The living area was spacious. 4th bedroom was a nice surprise and loved that the hot tub was warm and ready to use. Games and puzzles were great.

There was no firewood available.

gorgeous place and great outdoor space

very steep driveway

spa and great privacy

the drive way. I just don’t like steep driveways otherwise everything was spot on

Modern, clean, well equipped and the spa was a bonus

Nothing

Rooms were comfy. I like the open layout of the house. Spa pool was nice, we enjoyed it. Kitchen was well stocked. Used the washing machine and dryer to do laundry as well.

There was a power trip when we tried to turn on one of the light switches in the house. It took >10 mins looking all over the house and a long time on the phone with the person in charge to finally find the switch box (behind the door of one of the bedrooms). No dining table in the house, only outdoors. It was too cold and the lights outside were very dim - we were not able to dine outside at all. We couldn’t get the gas bbq to light up, even though we could hear and smell the gas. Person in charge also said she’s never used it before. The outdoor lounge sofas looked a bit mouldy.

Nice modern vibe and a great layout inside, bedrooms were a good size and comfortable beds. lovely outlook on to the bush. Quiet and felt secluded from other properties

The drive way is pretty steep and can be sloppy with the stones, one person in our group had a fall and grazed face and one side of body. useful to have some steps dug in to the side of the driveway or some grip strips to walk down
