Guest Reviews

Langton (10/5): Loved the place so nice - Great place loved it Nothing
Brian (10/5): This is the perfect place for a quiet, scenic escape - Very helpful hosts. Perfect location. A fantastic place for a scenic getaway. Everything was great.
TOMMY T TICKALAH (8/5): Very good get away awesome viewing and very quiet peaceful place recommended 👍🏽 - The view was awesome waking up every morning and enjoy the view 😉 No issues
Kath (9/5): - Had everything we needed and the host is excellent.
Tayler (10/5): Highly recommend - Amazing views, peaceful, and everything you need for a couple days away. Highly recommend renting the car through them as well. Super easy checkin / check out process Nothing, but you definitely need a car when staying here
Annwyn (8/5): Overall we had a really lovely romantic stay - I loved the view and the location More comfy chairs in front of the window would have been nice. And I would have liked an indication of the amount of stairs uphill. Getting a bit on in life hahah
Midi (8/5): -
Flora (10/5): Definitely coming back! - Amazing views, very clean n spacious! Hosts were soo nice as well It was perfect!
Lisa (9/5): - Amazing views, very comfortable bed, beautiful bathroom. Very much enjoyed sauna and outdoor bath Driveway was very steep and a little tricky to find.
Dan (9/5): -
Megan (9/5): peaceful get away , out door bath a bonus and relaxing . - Keys were easy to get from a locked box , but the walk to Chalet is a little steep if you have mobility issues . walk to chalet with bags , we had been away for 2 weeks so had bigger suitcases so heavy and walk is steep to Chalet
Philippa (10/5): Great couples retreat. amazing views, really modern & clean. Highly recommend!!! - The view was breathtaking. The bed was really comfy and the cabana and sauna were lovely added extras.
Emily (8/5): Amazing views and so peaceful - The views were amazing! Inclusions of bath and sauna very cool! Nice and spacious The gravel driveway to the villa was a bit tricky to navigate in a small sized hire car
Selina (9/5): Relaxing, like being on a retreat - Amazing views with great privacy. The chalet had full kitchenette so could cook up some great meals after having a bath and sauna.
BERT (10/5): Excellent / had a great stay / would highly recommend - Stunning views Going by advert we only saw 2 chalets not the summerhouse which were put into / the absolute best views “thank you “but was up a loose gravel pathway that had a very steep incline at the top / being 78 and 63 respectively / and both fairly fit it was a challenge getting everything up there / we were ok after that but would advise to check what chalet you are to be given
shlomo (7/5): The location and view were lovely, but the room and amenities didn’t quite match the price. - Location was amazing I stayed at this place on Waiheke Island, New Zealand. It was in a beautiful location with a lovely sea view. The facilities were okay, though I did feel they didn’t quite justify the price. I also think we didn’t get the exact room we booked, since it was missing the advertised outdoor area. There were also quite a few signs around, constantly reminding us what we could and couldn’t do, especially about the 10 a.m. checkout, even though check-in was at 2 p.m. So, overall, it was a decent stay, just not as great as I hoped.
David (9/5): We had a fabulous stay and have recommended it to others already. - The location was gorgeous. The view was amazing. We were very lucky we had such fabulous weather otherwise walking up the small incline would have been ordinary. This wasn’t a problem though. Shower room gets wet due to the way the shower is situated. I had to hang the floor mat outside to get it dry. You can tell I am struggling to find something but it was the only thing that I wished I could change. Maybe if there was a bamboo or wooden mat slightly off the floor.
Mark (9/5): -
Lynn (9/5): The chalet was lovely but would have preferred the choice of another chalet that did not include a steep climb every day - The scenery from our room was spectacular. It was clean, tidy and comfortable It was a bit out of the town. You needed a car to go anywhere. The chalet we were in was up a steep hill. Not suitable for some elderly or disabled people.
Rochelle (10/5): - Great communication prior to arrival.
Luz Micaela (10/5): Great hosts!! Thank you for everything - It has everything you need!
harold (10/5): Gorgeous bayside views - Top rated property with gorgeous view of Woodside Bay. Owners attentive and welcoming!! Lovely unit with fantastic view. Quiet location yet short drive to many vineyards. We have traveled to many waterside places in the world and this one is one of the best!! We plan to return when we return to NZ to see family😃 Hated saying goodbye to this lovely spot!!
Peter (10/5): Wonderful and peaceful - Amazing location, beautiful views and comfortable spacious chalet. The host allowed us to bring our French bulldog. She had a wonderful time with us. There was some very loud music at 2am from an adjoining chalet / possibly outside the property.
Maggie (5/5): Great views, but some disappointing and difficult access and facilities in the Summerhouse property. - Once we entered the building, the main living area and bedroom views from the windows did not disappoint. A clearer description of this particular property and access to it on Booking.com would be helpful. For example, this accommodation on Booking.com is titled "1 bedroom apartment", but there is no cross-reference to Summer House, the name listed on Woodside Bay Chalet website. This caused some confusion for us as we thought we were in a different residence. We think it would help to put property names on the website photos, to group them accordingly, and to post clear photos or videos showing access . We were surprised by the gravel road access to the property from the main road. We were also shocked to discover the 150m or so trek from the specified gravel car park, up a steep incline with about 25 steps, to the front door. The only mention in Woodside Bay's description at the time of our booking was that this property was not suitable for disabled guests. We aren't disabled, and we are active seniors, but there was no way we were going to lug our 20kg suitcases over gravel and up this distance. If you have an overnight or light carry-on luggage, this access may be fine, but for heavy, larger check-in luggage, be advised. (See attached video on Google reviews). The kitchenette was very tiny, there was no under cupboard lighting over the cooktop as there was over the sink, and the non-stick pans were heavily scratched. The toilet seat was too small for the toilet bowl (see photo). The bathroom sink counter had very little room to place toiletries (see photo). We followed the TV instructions, but in the end had to contact the site manager, who had to contact the owner, who came the next day to assist us, and agreed to add one additional step to the instructions for clarity and ease of use. There is no deck to enjoy, as with the other properties at the bottom of the hill. Overall our stay was just okay.
ryan (6/5): - We loved the location. Really beautiful Kitchen cutlery and pots & pans wasn't clean. We decided to purchase our own to cook with.
April (10/5): -
Julie (9/5): -
MARIA EMILIA (10/5): Un 10 - Una vista soñada, la casa súper cómoda y equipada Necesitas si o si auto para llegar Pero los propietarios nos alquilaron uno
Steve (10/5): -
Kathryn (9/5): Incredible location and zen place to stay. We had the bay to ourselves on our beach day. The walk to Batch winery is wel - Location Nothing
Alicia (10/5): Spectacular views, peaceful, a beautiful Christmas for us! - The views were very pretty and the weather was perfect for our stay! There were a lot of bugs in the chalet but we still enjoyed :)
colling (10/5): -
Dawn (6/5): - The views, the outdoor bath and sauna ,the peaceful atmosphere, and the comfortable bed. When I booked the site said only 1 left available which was the Summer House. I was not aware that pathway to Summer House was a very steep, long way to walk over loose gravel. I'm 73 with mobility issues and this was very disappointing to me that leaving and coming back to my accommodation was limited. To be picked up and dropped off from a wine tour required me to walk to the entrance of the property, which again was very difficult for me. I was not able to use the bath or sauna (but my daughter did) because of the pathway not being safe at night for myself. I never saw another guest check in the entire time we were there..It would of been better to have a more accessible accommodation.
Thanh Lam (10/5): It was the most relaxing and enjoyable experience. The view was just perfect! - The bath tub and the view ! The drive to the chalet was scary! Gravel road and steep hills scared me, I have a fear of heights so the road to the cabin made me nervous.
Chengetai (9/5): We are grateful to the hosts for allowing us to explore such a beautiful and peaceful vacation place - The view of the apartment was breathtaking. The chalets are cozy and good for couples seeking a bit of alone time. The facilities were well-thought-out through as for people seeking to relax and rejuvenate. The hosts created a digital guide that provides an overview of the island and ways to make the most of the stay at the accommodation facility. The location is not accessible without a car and the directions to get to the barn are not very straightforward. Maybe hosts could consider using signpoints to help visitors better locate the guest accommodation. Given that the location is not accessible the hosts maybe consider providing basic food options just to get people started. The chalets are closely located to each other which can hinder privacy for those seeking such provisions and walls are quite thin so you can hear most sounds from neighbouring chalets. There is also need to install air conditioning that efficiently cools the chalets. Lastly, some areas of the house such as the microwave and outside furniture could benefit with a more thorough clean.
Patricia (9/5): - The view is stunning!
Cassandra (8/5): Excellent value for a peaceful retreat. - The location is serene and beautiful, though some people may feel it's a bit far if they don't have their own vehicle. The Ocean and Skye units are new tiny homes that are set up well to open up large doors and windows facing the water. There is a shared bathtub overlooking the sea that is fabulous, and the sauna is a great touch. It was clean and cozy with a responsive host.
Cory (9/5): -
Andrew (10/5): - Amazing location with beautiful views away from the more busier locations on Waiheke.
Thilak (10/5): Absolutely luxurious experience. Lovely host - Everything An amazing views. Stunning views
Heather (10/5): -
Qi (8/5): -
Bridget (10/5): A perfect spot for a few days relaxation. Came away feeling refreshed and invigorated. - Peaceful, relaxing and lovely views. The chalet was comfortable and fully equipped. The sauna and outdoor cabana/bath are a nice touch and the hosts were very helpful.
Tamarah (7/5): Stunning view but a few wrinkles to iron out - Stunning view, truly you won't find anything like! It really makes any other issues okay. There were quite a few roaches around the property, I understand they’re bush roaches given the location on Waiheke (where I grew up) but perhaps a plug-in repellent or more frequent pest control could help? Accessibility was a major challenge. The property sits up a very steep hill and involves many steps, which wasn’t made clear in the listing. When we raised this, we were advised to check the fine print, but even after doing so, there was no mention of how steep or difficult the access would be? This made it particularly tough for guests with access needs. The listing also appears to be in the wrong suburb it’s closer to Whakanewha than Ostend. During our stay, we also helped other guests who couldn’t access their own accommodation due to similar access challenges. It’s a beautiful part of the island, but clearer communication about accessibility, location, and basic amenities would really improve the experience for future guests :)
vincent (9/5): - Very spacious place. Great deck
Irina (10/5): -
Livia (8/5): -
Lauren (9/5): - A lovely private location. Clean and tidy. The sauna and outdoor bath cabana was very cool. Only a little thing but, some robes for the sauna and outdoor bath would be awesome
Kylie (10/5): Amazing views, chalet was tidy and perfect for 2. We will be back. - Loved the view and how peaceful it was
Roger (9/5): Nice clean, comfortable, well appointed chalet (“Ocean”), with gorgeous views out over the bay. - Nice clean, modern chalet. Bed was comfortable. Terrific view from the chalet out over the Woodside Bay. Location of was a bit “off the beaten track”, but accept that that can be seen as also a positive attribute. We did loose the Wi-fi signal for approx. the last 12 hrs of our stay.
Erin Pettersen (9/5): -
Vicky (8/5): -
toni (6/5): despite these simple shortfalls we enjoyed our stay. - No breakfast was provided. we were quite disappointed as we had not been prepared to self cater. the dishwasher was not unpacked.
Rey (10/5): Very nice, just thought we had our own private outdoor bathtub, but overall nice -
Emma (10/5): -
Luke (7/5): -
Elesha (8/5): Cute place with an amazing view! - The view was amazing! The windowsills needed cleaning. The water goes everywhere when showering.
Wendy (9/5): Spectacular views and lovely place to stay. Highly recommend this place if your wanting some R&R. - Beautiful place and suited us away from civilization and to many people. Great place to relax and spend time away from the real world with my husband. Not a complaint, deal breaker or stop us coming back but felt as a previous motel cleaner it could have been cleaned better around windows or places where there was visible mould.
Maya (8/5): - We had a lovely stay just that finding the property in the dark for after hours check in is not recommended as there are no lights at the main gate and no lights on the path guiding us. We had to find our way in the dark. Went past the location and had to u turn. Fantastic views where we were at the Summer House with panaromic views during the day but be warned its quite a climb up a gravel path esp with luggage as the car is only parked at the bottom part. Cute refurbished cottage with a fully equipped kitchen w stove, microwave & dishwasher! Tho the pots n pans may need replacing as its quite worn out. Warm for winter stays but please wear your wooly socks!
Claire (10/5): Exceptional -
Diane (9/5): Superb -
Mick (9/5): Superb -
Ashley (10/5): Great stay! - We had such an amazing stay, definitely recommend! Excellent communication from Steve, easy instructions provided to find the rental car as well as the accomodation. Beautiful, clean unit we stayed in. Had everything we needed (small fridge, basic kitchen equipment, towels). Amazing views. The outdoor tub and sauna were beautiful and great to use! They also provided great recommendations for places to eat and things to see/visit. We really enjoyed our stay. N/A
Marina (9/5): Waiheke Honeymoon - Loved the complex, it was raining though so we're not able to enjoy outside areas Having to wait for the outdoor bath 😄
Vanessa (8/5): Very good -
Amy (10/5): We’ll be back for sure!! - Perfect - the location and view are stunning!! Cabana is a must visit!! Hosts were super helpful and friendly
Klaire (9/5): All in all was an excellent stay. - Tha vibe of the place. It’s very peaceful. Nothing but didn’t manage to use other facility like the cabana because it’s not yet ready, quite messy probably due to the continuous rain past dew days.
Simon (9/5): Beautiful spot and perfect accommodation for a romantic getaway. - Amazing view, peaceful with the bonus of a Sauna and awesome outdoor bath. Nothing.
Tim (7/5): Disappointed compared to expectations - Lovely views but still disappointed compared to the pictures on line …. They make it look like you have uninterrupted views … but actually you are set back across the drive … so no privacy at all … people walking and driving right past your huge windows … so have to draw the curtains to get privacy laying in bed … but then no views !!!
Daria (10/5): Exceptional -
Jacques (10/5): Great unit, even better view - The owners are right in warning about the steep hill to get to the cottage, but you end up with the best view. Once at the top you have preferred use of a picnic table and a wooden bench. The unit was as described. Very comfortable and had all the amenities required. Loved our stay.
Melissa (9/5): Superb -
Amanda (9/5): Superb -
Rich (9/5): Superb - Views were amazing. Relaxed atmosphere and great set up of the cabins. Very clean and everything you needed. Nothing. Everything was more than satisfactory and we would definitely recommend it.
Kylie (10/5): - Beautiful hillside cabins, well designed and decorated. Quiet area and lovely views of the bay. Cabin was well equipped with everything you need, just bring food and clothing. Oh and drinks :)
Meg (10/5): Place to stay when you want to relax - Place to relax
Ellen (10/5): Fabulous retreat - Fabulous chalet with all you could need. Views to die for. If you want to get away from everything it is perfect.😍
Edward (10/5): Outstanding in every way. Just perfect. - This place is perfect. The chalet was bigger than expected. Super clean. Wonderful bed and bathroom. The view was magical. And at night the stars gazing wonderful. This place is perfect for a romantic, stress free break. And then there's the Canbana bath ... What a treat. The hosts, Steve and Hiedi went above and beyond to make this special.
Lisa (9/5): Wonderful time having Heidi give me a Swedish massage, right in the comfort of our place. Outdoor tub was awesome and th - The beautiful scenery you got to look at everyday right out your window! The kitchen tended to have ant, even though the facility had ant spray to use.
Sharon (8/5): Off the grid experience with outstanding views - The remote location and the incredible view. My chalet was not what I had expected initially. It was a trek up a steep Hill…
Veronika (10/5): Perfect place for a weekend getaway - Beautiful place to stay at Waiheke! Views and beautiful environments
Scott (10/5): Exceptional -
Constanza (10/5): Exceptional -
Heinz (10/5): It was a pleasure to be there. Quiet and relaxing. - Wonderful location with a breathtaking view. Not everything was cleaned perfectly.

Marnie (9/5): We loved our weekend stay here, really appreciated the car rental, made the stay exceptional - Very easy, seamless
Matthew (10/5): Amazingly appointed barn with a stunning view and outlook. 10/10 stay. - The view, location, and fitout of the Barn is stunning. So well worth the cost and staying here. Highly recommend!
Jo (10/5): Wow! What a spot. The chalet was lovely, views stunning and we thoroughly enjoyed the bird life. Can’t help but relax!! - Views, outdoor bath, deck, comfortable bed, good shower, everything we needed was there. Nothing
Nick (9/5): Superb -
Stephen (6/5): It was a pleasant chalet to stay in and in a very beautiful location - Rooms/layout were well done Spectacular views Property very clean and welcoming on arrival Plenty of helpful information was sent in advance Steep climb up pathway to chalet which made it very awkward to get the suitcases up there No barbecue or grill or oven and no instructions provided for the use of the hob top Badly torn Net curtain in bedroom
Charmeyne (9/5): A slice of paradise - The chalets are in the perfect location overlooking the bay. They are fully-equipped, self-contained units with separate living and sleeping rooms. There is a sauna and an outdoor bath on site. We didn't have/make time to use the sauna, but the bath was glorious. I used it at dusk, so got to see the sky changing colours. My friend used it in the morning, so was serenaded by birds. Amazing. Even though we didn't meet our hosts (keys were in a lock box on arrival), Steve was great at messaging with instructions and local information. We hired a car through him as well, which was incredibly easy. All-in-all, a fantastic experience. There are mosquitoes, which can't be helped, but just be prepared. There are a few rules at the property, which come with a charge for breaking them. We would never have broken them anyway, but having the 'threat' of a fine made us slightly anxious.
Adam (8/5): Beautifully situated chalet in quiet natural surroundings - Wonderful location and views. No problems accessing the property, though the last bit of the drive was a bit rough on unsealed roads. The nature is fantastic, and it was nice to use the open-air bath. The TV didn't seem to work (except for Netflix), but we didn't go there to watch TV. The sauna was a little disappointing, maximum temperature was not all that high.
