Search hotels on Waiheke Island, New Zealand

Among the many wonderful accomodations on Waiheke Island, we chose Wild Thyme because they gave detailed information about the location and facilities, which made it easy for us to imagine what our stay would be like. AND Wild Thyme was PERFECT in every way! The rooms were well-equipped and comfortable, and were spotlessly clean. The view from the terrace was breathtaking, while the place is located in a convenient area, shops and the beach of Onorea within walking distance. Most of all, Jules and Bruce were great hosts, being attentive and kind. It is all thanks to their welcome, my parents and I truly enjoyed an unforgettable vacation. Another BIG attraction is Jule's Wine Tour! The information is also written on the notebook provided in your room. I highly recommend it to anyone considering staying here. She asked us about our wine preferences in advance and came up with the Perfect plan. We visited Allpress Olive Groves, Tantalus, Man O'War+lunch, Waiheke Gin Distillery and Passage Rock. It may have been partly because it was winter and the wineries were quiet, but Jules arranged with the winery staff to grant our selfish request to try wines(bubbles!) that were not on the regular tasting menu! She even arranged for us to taste limited edition gin at the distillery. She took us to hard-to-reach places in the east and south of the island, such as ManO'War and Passage Rock, where we enjoyed not only the drinks but also the charms of the island as a whole. It's only been a week since I returned home, but I already feel a strong desire to go back.

The attention we received on arrival and the attention throughout the entire stay made us feel extremely valued and welcome. We had dinner the first night and the food was exceptional. I had a dietary requirement which they were more than happy to oblige. The lounge/dining has a sweeping view of the sea and I liked how every dining table is up against a window so everyone gets a view. Very exclusive and very special. We felt lucky to celebrate our 40th wedding anniversary there. The menu for breakfast both mornings were a culinary delight. Lots of choices where I wished we could have stayed an extra day to try them all. Would absolutely recommend especially if you are celebrating a special occasion. Loved the water bottles in the fridge and shortbread biscuits in our room. Our room was beautifully decorated, spacious but cozy at the same time with sweeping views. Really stunning ambience.

The studio was spacious, comfortable and had everything we needed for our trip - even beach towels! The location is perfect, a short walk away from the beach and all of the main restaurants and shops. Couldn’t fault it at all, would definitely stay here again!

Great location, facilities- especially heated lap pool, friendly & helpful hosts. Breakfast was fantastic. Views from property and on local walks were spectacular. One of the best luxury accommodation places we have stayed around the world. Quiet and relaxing.

Dyane was a great host, very helpful and fun to talk to. Her afternoon tea and breakfast is the MUST! We enjoyed them so much! Our lodge was spacious and quiet. Easy walk to the beach and nice distance to the Main Street. The spa pool was a nice surprise!

The cottage was so beautiful and quaint. I loved the breathtaking views that surrounded us. Even though it was very cold, the cottage was lovely and warm. Thank you to hosts for the bottle of champagne that was in fridge. It certainly went down well.
