"Lovely little hideaway. Close to town, but secluded enough to feel tucked away with a great view to sea from the deck. "

"Great communication with the hosts. This little cottage is an absolute delight for a romantic weekend! It was quiet & private with more than enough provided to ensure a comfy cosy stay. Breakfast included a range of tea & coffee choices along with orange juice, muesli, cereal, fresh fruit, yoghurt & croissants. Located close to a number of wedding venues & dining options, plus the spectacular Waitakere Ranges with its black sand beaches. We took the relaxing 20 minute drive out to Muriwai Beach...

"The title says it all! We wanted a quiet break from life in downtown Auckland and this place fit the bill perfectly. It’s a cute little cottage with great facilities and it was great relaxing on the deck watching the sun set over Oneroa. It’s only a short walk to the nearest bus stop as well - Waiheke has a really great bus network so there’s no need for a car. All in all the perfect place to spend the weekend!"

"Kind efficient management by Suzi, this sweet and simple little getaway was the perfect intro to Waiheke's friendly relaxed vibe and natural beauty. The sea view is well worth the short but steep walkway. I do hope they trim the olive trees that are so healthy they threaten to block the beautiful view. The cottage is compact but neatly furnished with everything needed. It's one of several separately owned free standing units set within a small resort that caters to groups but is pleasantly...

"必要なもの、あったらいいなと思うものが、すべて揃っている完璧な宿でした。 次回もぜひ泊まりたいと思います。"

"Location great, cleanliness great, provisions great, access great, nothing about the property could be faulted. Property owner was well prepared and friendly when we arrived, communication before arrival was excellent. The only (very very minor) request for improvement would be a light on the sign on the road, we returned at night and struggled to locate the entrance confidently in the dark. Noting this did not detract from the stay in the slightest."

"A beautiful location right on the water's edge, perfect for swimming and kayaking. Lovely big lawn for some backyard cricket. Older style lockwood bach which has everything you need. Angela from bachcare is brilliant too."

"Excellent, clean, tidy property; friendly farm animals; everything you could want for breakfast. 5 stars!"

"We were impressed with high standard of cottage.Megan and Craig very helpful and loved the honey and fudge.Mac the springer spaniel in doggie heaven!"

"Excellent little spot in Mission Bay! Sali and Brendon were friendly and accommodating. The unit is clean, private, and has everything you need (fridge, oven/hob, washing machine, etc.) Plus being able to have our dog stay with us is always a bonus. 😊"

"We loved our brief stay. A beautiful property in the country and so so peaceful. Perfect."

"Really good. Great location. Great place to stay"

"We were staying over two nights to attend a family in Piha, and travelling with my 81 year old Mum, who has mobility issues. This was the perfect home for her and the extended family was able to pop in before the ceremony to say hello. Plenty of lovely deck space to spread out on without getting under each other's feet."

"We stayed at the cottage for a family wedding. It was the perfect place for us to stay due to the location, and it’s size. The cottage had everything we needed in a peaceful location."

"Great place to get away from the crowds. Beautiful view to the private beach and a cozy house for a staycation."

"A lovely little place to stay. The hosts were clear in their communications and very accommodating. Thanks folks🙂"

"We had a blast staying here and loved the cow neighbours :)"

"Lovely tranquil property. Grafton cottages has a wonderful vibe! I definitely will be staying again, what a beautiful place!"

"Overall a beautiful house, very spacious and great for a big group to enjoy the weekend. Quick access to both beaches."

"Wow, that was my initial reaction seeing my room for the first time. This was my first time experiencing an eco-friendly room, it was different but cuts down on energy waste. The room is spacious and had all my needs. Parking can fill up quickly, but I always had a parking space. The restaurant downstairs Ora Bistro did not disappoint. I was impressed with the menu and the food was great! I would definitely stay here again if I go back to New Zealand. "

"Have stayed here before which is how we landed here again! LOVE the shower pressure, the comfy beds and the washer and drier combo. Went home with clean dry clothes. Best thing was the wahine who checked me in. She was awesome. Warm approachable and kind."
