Property is an ideal location away from the main activity on the Island but close enough to enjoy everything the island has to offer. Great place, wonderful views, quiet and peaceful with all the amenities. The advantage of having a car in with the property is significant enabling you to get out and about without relying on taxis or buses - gives you the freedom to enjoy the island.

Lovely holiday and the car was a fantastic asset. House beautiful and location and views amazing. One thing i would say prior to arriving we did not know there would be 50 plus steps to the property. Carrying suitcases etc was hard work. Saying that i would use again.

This cottage is a charming place where you will feel so relax. The location secluded in the forest with an awesome view on Onetangui bay, is ideal to discover Waiheke Island. We can only advise everybody to stay in this cozy cottage which offers all the necessary and even the owner's own car, a real plus to easily enjoy all the wonderful places on the island. Thanks Peter for our great stay at Whisper cottage.

Everything was perfect- we enjoyed the great sea views in the daytime and the outside spa at night. The house was spacious, light filled and very well equipped. The car is a huge bonus for exploring beyond the lovely local area. Peter was a very friendly and responsive host. Thank you for the stay!

As you can see by the photos, the view is amazing, and it is better in person. Peter was an amazing host, answering questions on a moments notice. I would recommend this rental to everyone I know.

This is a great house with an awesome deck and hot tub. It is a completely stand alone house in the forest. The house is located on the hill overlooking the bay at 110M elevation. A couple things to keep in mind when you rent this property. 1-The car parking spot is fifty stair steps below the house. 2-The parking spot leaves the car 1/4 into the road so something to consider if you are brining your own car. There is no space for a second car.The car that comes with the house is a true “Island Car” but runs well.

This is a great place to stay, it's away from the bustle of Oneroa yet close enough to everything. Having a car included is a big plus. The place itself is stunning, with a great view of the water. The laundry facilities work great, and there's two drying racks (I wish more places had two!). The shower was hot. The bed was firm and comfortable. There's a separate a/c unit in the bedroom which we liked. The water is filtered but it's recommended to drink bottled water; there's a Four Square about a five minute drive away that sells 5L waters. We loved our stay here and would stay again

We had a lovely time on the island with our sister and brother-in-law driving around the island doesn't take very long but you have to keep your eyes on the narrow roads. The house was lovely with a great view, it would be even better in the summer.

We stayed here while doing work on the island. Beautiful bushy spot and to be honest the best equipped kitchen I've seen in a bach. It even had sharp knives!

Whisper cottage was the perfect place to come and stay after a very busy work period. The cottage is very well laid out with all amenities and the spa is just great. We had a perfect time.

This place was amazing to stay, the use of the car was so helpful so we didn’t have to rely on buses. You are about a 25-30 mins walking distance to Charley Farleys and vineyards like Wild on Waiheke/Stonyridge. The views out to the sea are amazing, the spa to use at the end of a long day is brilliant. Peter was so great at answering questions and communicating about check in and out. We would go back in a heartbeat and would highly recommend!
