My wife and I spent two nights with Andy & Pip at the lodge at the start of our New Zealand vacation. They were great hosts, picked us up at the ferry dock, helped guide us with local transportation options (take advantage of the bus system to the local wineries) and Pip provided a wonderful breakfast that was a highlight of our visit. The lodge is in a beautiful quiet area of Waiheke and convenient to beaches, restaurants and wineries. We couldn’t get over how serene the area is. Perfect place to stay after the long trip from the US.

If I could give Andy & Pip 10 stars, I would. From the moment we were picked up from the ferry, we felt welcome. The accommodations were very well appointed. The generosity and kindness we experienced were the very definition of hospitality. I highly recommend Waiheke Waterfront when visiting the island.

This lodge is pure luxury and the views are breathtaking, gourmet breakfast and a place of paradise we didn’t want to say goodbye. Andy and Pep made this a trip to remember, walk to town, rent the electric bikes and enjoy your time away! Restaurant recommendations and the food , plus all the wine was outstanding ! A five star luxury and Andy even picked us up and took us back to the ferry ! A truly amazing trip on this paradise island you don’t want to miss!

the hosts Pip and Andy were lovely and they made everything just perfect. We rented their car and explored the island based on their recommendations, no hassle at all. we had a lovely sea view and the nearby restaurants were excellent. There is a curated, residential feeling to the property that gives it a very intimate quality. They picked us up and dropped us off at the ferry and their breakfast presentation was top notched. Wonderful experience. Plus they are zero carbon sustainable - a bonus.

Exquisite stay at the Waterfront Lodge! Pip, Andy, & Maureen were such lovely hosts and made incredible multi course breakfasts each day with local produce and spreads. The property is stunning, extremely clean and very safe. The property has a very boutique/personal feel and I believe only has 5 rooms, which is perfect if you're looking for a relaxing stay on Waiheke. We appreciated all the little touches (like the snacks, barista coffee, transportation to and from the ferry by Andy, and extremely comfortable bed). 5 Star service!! We can't wait to visit again.

Property was great. Not as close to town as I would like but Waiheke, in general, is not really a walkable place. So, not their fault

Amazing break. We were super happy with the hospitality and loved the use of an eBike to travel around the Island. Breakfast was beautiful, the rooms were comfortable and cosy, and the view is amazing.

Gem! Perfectly located and appointed
Stunning, newly-refurbished. No reviews yet only because it’s in new ownership. Wonderful couple managing this boutique B&B. One of the top places I have stayed - and I am a frequent traveler.
