The room was cute and had everything we needed. Our room had two windows looking out to a car park so not much to see there. Comfy bed and nice linen, loved the aesop soaps! It's in a great spot and the restaurant was great. Breakfast comes free with your stay but it was a little average we had the bacon and egg brioche roll which was a bit dry. We also had the crumpets which were a little under done but the jam and cream it came with were amazing. We were the only ones there for breakfast and one of the staff members was vacuuming arround the space - not a great mood/vibe setter haha! Overall a nice space but not sure we would stay again. Definitely would come back to the restaurant though!

I stayed at the Oyster Inn for 2 nights in room 3 and enjoyed my stay, I was a bit confused with checking in but that was probably lack of sleep on my part. I was allowed to leave my luggage inside by the reception whilst I went and had lunch. The room and bathroom were both clean, there were complimentary snacks for guests which not a lot of places provide. It was very quiet at night and I was comfortable. The only issue was the blaring sound coming from I don’t know where on my first night but I don’t think the Inn could really do anything about that. The staff were lovely Overall, I enjoyed my short stay and I recommend the Oyster Inn! I also heard from a family member and family friend that the food and drinks at the connected restaurant were great so will definitely have to try that next time! Would book here again :)))

Beautiful island, nice wines!

We had a wonderful stay at The Oyster inn, from the very start when we were met by the wonderful Stefi at the reception desk till we left the day after. The room was nice and clean, quiet at night (I slept like a baby for 7 hours...) and with a nice bathroom. Waiheke itself was as nice as we had hoped. Beautiful surroundings, a lovely beach (we took a morning swim, a bit chilly at around 15 Celcius...), easy to take the local bus to the wineries at Onetangi Rd. Wish we had stayed one more day... We visited the Stonyridge, Te Motu, Tantalus, Man O'War and Mudbrick wineries.
