Guest Reviews

• Paula (8/5): Very good -
• Malcolm (9/5): Superb -
• Marcus (8/5): Good little place and good value for a long weekend. - Great location near Cable Bay and a short walk to Oneroa. Unit was comfortable for a few days for a couple. Good comms and instructions and a nice welcome. Thanks for the wine. Needs a few cobwebs taking down and a little bit of updating but clean enough. Take insect repellent as a few mozzies.
• Christine (7/5): Great location, nice small, quiet villa, - we were there for a week and there was a few things that we could have had more of - for example, extra towels (there was only 2), spare garbage bags. it would have been fine if we were there for 2-3 nights but we were there for 6.
• Sacha (8/5): Lived up to its name & location - Church Bay Escape! - Location, view, peace & tranquility. Private. Gifted a superb bottle of Waiheke Bordeaux - Delamore Wines. Nice touch! Cobwebs on ceiling which can only be seen at night. Brown Water in ceramic pot on outside table with ciggy butts in it. Put it in a corner of the deck. No danger. Out of sight out of mind.
• John (8/5): Unit was fine for our purposes and location good. - No breakfast offered. Small issues, lighting, toilet seat loose.
• Sandra (10/5): The bed was so comfortable and we loved the space!! Would definitely stay again next time - I liked how I could just check in myself without having to wait for anyone. The space as a whole was actually much more spacious than the photos displayed online so I was really happy with that. When I booked on booking.com it could have been helpful to be told what the code for the box was. Also just a suggestion to add some extra towels please☺️
• David (10/5): Good tidy place in an excellent position - Clean tidy place with awesome views Nothing. The property was lovely
• Unnur (9/5): Superb -
• Carol (5/5): Passable -
• Randy (7/5): Would definitely stay again if price was cheaper - Location, cleanliness and peaceful Price - was a hotel price. Furniture was adequate but a little old for the price of the place - $400 a night.
• Toby (9/5): Superb -
• Valeriia (6/5): Nice stay but not the best value - Nice and quiet location. Functional kitchen and spacious bathroom We stayed (2 adults) at this property for 3 nights and we were provided with less than a half of the toilet paper and no paper tissues, so we had to buy our own toilet paper. You would assume that at least this can be provided. Also there are no nets on any windows or glass doors, so we got a lot of mosquitos and were bitten really bad. The mirror in the bathroom is not hanged for some reason and is just sitting on the sink, so you need to bend over to see yourself when using the bathroom.
• Posa (7/5): Fab weekend with friends to celebrate 30th Wedding Anniversary. - Sunny, solid furniture, comfy bed. Great accessible bathroom. Apartment two had large dried dog poo on balcony. Bed and bathroom clean, but all other surfaces covered in thin layer of dust. Just needed a bit of TLC.
• Vanessa (7/5): Nice studio but needs curtains - Good location and clean. Good communication beforehand. There are windows in the room (up high) which do not have a curtain or blind across them - that meant the room was bright as soon as the sun came up which was super disappointing when you go away and want to have a sleep-in. We were also only provided 1, already started, toilet roll for a two night stay for two people. That felt pretty cheap in terms of value for money when you’re paying these type of prices.
• Ruth (9/5): Excellent location with a touch of luxury - Easy walking distance to Cable Bay Winery and Oneroa town, lovely sea view from accommodation, really comfortable and clean with a touch of luxury Nothing to not like!
• Pam (5/5): Lacking maintanence. - Location Cobwebs Ash tray full and wet on outside deck Outside security lights not working Heated towel rail not working Loose cable Air conditioner not working had to be re -bouted No tissues (requested to use to remove makeup as no coloured face cloth ) Toiletries supplied but only enough for 1 day. Need to take own supply.
• Christopher (7/5): Good - The stool at the end of the bed had a missing leg so was unstable It had the potential to cause injury Everything in the facility should be checked
• David (10/5): Top quality unit and first-class hosts - very highly recommended. - Excellent hosts who went out of their way to ensure everything went smoothly. The unit was very well appointed, very comfortable, great views, quiet, and was a very easy stroll from the main town, restaurants and bars. We had a very enjoyable stay and didn't want for anything. We will be using Church Bay Escape again! Nothing!
• Sophia (9/5): Superb - Gorgeous location, perfectly comfortable, host was really helpful and accommodating.
• Sarah (4/5): Average - The location was ok. The property had no hot water, the lights were broken. Cobwebs weren’t cleaned up it felt dirty!
• Sally (9/5): Great studio for exploring Waiheke. Well designed and tasteful. - A lovely room in a beautiful location. Great balcony to sit on and enjoy the views. Nicely furnished apartment. Nothing
• Ross (9/5): Superb -
• Lim (7/5): Good stay - The mattress at one of the units has slump. The owner also slightly longer to respond
• Fiona (9/5): Super convenient and tidy studio apartment. - Only an 800m walk from oneroa and just a 300m walk to cable bay for dinner. Views were lovely from thr little deck, (a little distant view of the water but still nice). Clean, tidy little studio with everything you need for 1-2 nights. There’s a high window with no curtain, and just blinds on all the windows so you get light streaming in early, not great for a long sleep in so bring your eye mask!!
• Hayden (8/5): Very good -
• Hamish (7/5): Got off to a rocky start but after that, all good. Handy location. Lovely warm comfortable room. - We arrived at the property an hour or so after check in to find the bed unmade, and all the used sheets and towels on the floor of the bathroom. I rang Dave and advised and he organised cleaners to return to the room to sort.
• Natasha (4/5): we visited when Cyclone Gabrielle was active. there was no power for a few hours and no water was available, however Dav - location no shampoo or conditioner the wrong code for the door key was given in the email if the ferry service was cancelled due to weather there was no refund available the couch fabric was dirty
• Matthew (8/5): Very good - Nice place to stay close to wee town Outside lights didn't work, which made it a wee bit dangerous when coming back at night.
• Nicholas (8/5): Very good -
• Flo (10/5): Fantastic stay. The place had everything we needed and was comfortable and cosy. -
• Karen (10/5): Exceptional - Very quiet. Comfy beds. Nothing. Maybe a coffee machine or plunger for morning coffee on the balcony. But just a short walk to great cafes.
• Angelenne (10/5): Exceptional -
• Nicola (9/5): Superb -
• Gillian (9/5): a lovely break for a couple. - great view that is seen from all viewpoints in the apartment. Modern, clean snd comfortable apart from the ants. there were a steam of ants coming down from the room. all good had to be put in the fridge.

• Gregory (10/5): Amazing stay. Very very cute and amazing place. Would 100% stay again next time. Close to wineries - Nil breakfast provided The tree on balcony could be cut down would give a much better view
• Jason (9/5): Idyllic, just what we needed. - Great location, super easy to get into town and to the ferry. Awesome view and very comfy bed. No real issues at all. Could have done with more glasses, the only glasses were two champagne flutes, not ideal for drinking fabulous Waiheke reds out of, but it's a minor quibble.
• Sarah (10/5): Exceptional - Great location!
• Maree (8/5): Very good -
• E (8/5): Met but did not exceed expectations - No shampoo and conditioner which I thought would be supplied at that price
• Daniel (10/5): Exceptional -
• Rebecca (7/5): Good - cute cabin with all the amenities and great location the bed was two singles put together both beds didn’t line up and was unfortunately uncomfortable. one of the single mattresses was very uncomfortable which was disappointing.
• Verified traveler (8/5): Waiheke Stay - Great, cute little place. Studio apartment style. Really good location!
• Brad (8/5): Tidy, comfy and convenient - Great set up here. Nice size room, balcony (with sea view) is not huge, but nice. Good location being walking distance to Cable Bay and Mudbrick Vineyards. Also the main township of Oneroa is convenient to.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Such a gem and in a beautiful location. So close to the onerahi village meant we walked everywhere mostly. Will highly recommend and return.
• Scott (10/5): - The accommodation was amazing. I was attending a wedding on the island. It is a 13 min walk into town. Lots of space inside the accommodation.
• Verified traveler (10/5): Get away for 4 nights - Great place to stay, nice and private, tidy, clean and handy to all ammenities. Would definitely stay again.
• David (8/5): Nice place - Convenient location, close to town and wineries. Quiet and great views.
• Verified traveler (8/5): great location - Nice room, very clean and comfortable. Great location. The property is not staffed, there is no one on site and the contact information listed on EXPEDIA is out of date, so when we had a check in / access issue to be resolved it took a lot if time/effort to get this resolved. Proper and up to date contact information needs to be on file and more timely response so that guest who have paid do not have to spend time or worry about whether or nor they will have access to their room while they are on vacation.
• Andy (10/5): Very luxurious place to stay on Waiheke island - Fantastic place. Super high quality room and furnishings
• Jane (8/5): Close to Cable Bay & Mudbrick - This is a fantastic location for travellers without a vehicle. It's a very short walk down to Oneroa, the passenger ferries and a couple of wineries where many weddings take place. Really amazing island.
• Stuart (10/5): Excellent on Waiheke - studio modern and well equipped - perfect for couples. Lovely view from sunny deck.
• Verified traveler (10/5): Perfect little break on Waiheke - Was a perfect location on Waiheke with very clean and comfortable accommodation, definitely recommend !
• Verified traveler (10/5): Great stay! - Awesome location, walking distance to oneroa shops and wineries. Clean, modern stylish apartment, would stay again and recommend.
• Anna (10/5): Lovely room close to vineyards and Oneroa - Although the owner is not on site he was very helpful, the room was lovely, spacious, great view, walking distance to Oneroa, Cable Bay and Mudbrick vineyards. Delightful private escape!
• Brian (2/5): No wifi, no land line, not on bus route, no staff - The apartment is nice but felt like "Church Bay No Escape". We had to walk to Cable Bay Winery (5 min walk) and ask them to call us a taxi. Check out is 11am, a bit early. Only lock box to pick up your key so no staff to help. Some improvements to wifi and phones would help a lot.
• Michelle (6/5): - Cleanliness: hair strands not cleaned ; sunshade on deck would be good
• Louise (10/5): - Facilities: clean and tidy ; Service: Pamela was great ; Cleanliness: top marks;
• Sharon (8/5): - very short walk up the road to Cable Bay winery
• experienced (8/5): -
