We clearly booked a twin room with two single beds, but on the morning of our check-in day, the hotel called us and said they had not been informed by Expedia and that we would be charged an extra $15. If that was the case, why give us the option to choose it at the time of booking? That part was quite disappointing, but aside from this, the hotel itself was clean, well-maintained, and the view was great.

Lovely apartment, beautiful view. Did not realise how many stairs we would have to drag the bags up and down. One bed was great, the other so soft it seemed broken. I’m sure the restaurant and view would be amazing however we went in winter and it was only open on the Saturday.

The access to the room was down multiple very very steep steps. When booking it indicated breakfast was included, however a sign outside the (closed) reception advised the restaurant was closed on a Monday (we stayed Sunday night). The key was left in a box, and we had to climb a huge number of stairs to return the key in the morning. Some basic things like soap for the hand basin would have been nice. A box of tissues would also be nice.

Waiheke Island Resort is really a nice play to stay. This was not our first time that we stayed there, and we will come again and again. Absolutely perfect place, strongly recommended. One comment for property maintenance: please punch down all nails on wooded deck that are sticking out. It is not safe to walk bare feet on the deck.
