My family has stayed at this incredible house many times - it is the most special spot in Waiheke. The views are breathtaking and ever changing. With a great pool, it’s hard to tear yourself away the the beach which is just 3 mins down the road. The house is so beautifully done, real Hamptons style and lots of lovely indoor and outdoor seating areas. The house easily fits two families. The kitchen is amazing - everything you need and more. It’s a true luxury break - comfort and style.

What a fabulous stay we had at your gorgeous home! It was such special time for us to get together with extended family, which is rare. And to be able to do it in such a spectacular Waiheke home truely made for wonderful memories. The rental agent, Lenka, was very welcoming and thorough with instructions on how everything worked which was much appreciated! Everything was there that we needed... including a high chair and cot for our baby. The home is very well set up which made for a relaxing stay! Thank you very much for sharing your home with us. What a treat!

The house looks exactly what it looks like in the photos! An amazing location and stunning property hidden away and secluded. Beautiful view. There were some minor issues such as the pool cover remote not working and the wall fire place outside but they weren’t major! We were able to take the pool cover off manually with the help of the property manager and we used the fire pit instead of the fireplace which was amazing. Would recommend for a relaxing weekend away! Thank you for making us feel so welcome

The house is even better than shown on the website with four spacious and well appointed seating areas plus indoor and outdoor dining spaces. The relaxed decor and uncluttered spaces provide a feeling of peace throughout. Kitchen is exceptionally well equipped to boot. We loved it all.

Second time now I have stayed here and it just gets better! Great new outdoor bean bags were perfect for lounging around on the deck! This is one special place and highly recommend it! I will be back :) Thanks to Claire and Lenka for the ease of booking and getting keys and touched by the bottle of Champagne for my 40th! Could not have wished to have spent my birthday anywhere else!

This house is in a beautiful location with great views. I would recommend requesting the 6 page house rule-book before booking though - rules include no shoes inside, no baths, restricted use of the fire place... The house is nice though with a great kitchen.

Claire's Luxury Hideaway is certainly that...Peaceful, Luxurious Hideaway that has spectacular views, gorgeous landscaped gardens, superb furnishings/decor and very spacious. It certainly has the Wow Factor. We stayed here to attend my nephews wedding at Mud Brick. He & his groomsmen had professional photos taken here around the pool, gardens and the beautiful scenery that surrounds this gorgeous property. It really is stunning. The weather was perfect so we certainly made use of the pool.There is nothing that Claire hasn't thought of. I loved that Claire communicated with us from the time we booked, on arrival with a bottle of wine & welcome card and an email at the end of our stay. Meeting Lenka (property manager) who briefed us on arrival and truly made us feel welcomed. These small touches I am humbly grateful for. I highly recommend this property & yes I would definitely love to return again and stay longer.

This is a really beautiful place. The pictures cannot possibly do justice to the feeling of the place. We loved it so much that we extended our stay. The house is really well suited for couples or families and whilst being stunning, is so relaxed and comfortable. Claire has created an amazing "retreat" that we only left to have lunch or dinner at the vineyards or stroll down to the beach. I can't recommend it highly enough. Everything you could need during your stay is provided for. If, like me, mosquitoes love you, bring plenty of spray.

Beautiful home that felt comfortable and inviting. Plenty of space for large groups of people. Claire and Lenka were both helpful and kind and went the extra mile to help us out. This is a special place and we wouldn't hesitate reommending it to future renters.

What an amazing property - we had a fantastic few days the kids of all ages loved the Island and the pool - the welcome by Lenka was brilliant and any questions answered quickly - would highly recommend!

This is a beautiful house with lots of light and gorgeous features. One of our families stayed here for our wedding and we think this property might have nearly upstaged our wedding! They loved it and we'd happily return.

Claire's Hideaway is outstanding house, in an unbeatable position. The house layout suits all sorts of occassions from family relaxation holidays to wedding retreats for weddings. We were lucky enough to have beautiful weather which made the outdoor decking, pool and harbour views even more stunning

Perfect for 8 adults, A wonderful few days in a beautiful spot. Weather was great which of course was the icing on the cake. Instruction manual does make one think why rent it if??? but also being from the hospitality industry I can understand the need to instruct folks in certain directions. This place has the no expense spared wow factor and Claire wants to share her love, not repair it. I understand. Thank you.

Our second stay but in a different season. As before it is a privilege to stay in this stunning place. Awe-inspiring views remind you of this beautiful world we live in. Thanks for sharing your slice of heaven.

Claires house was an absolute delight. Gorgeous location, amazing views and a great pool. On the negative side, the kitchen was not as well equipped as we had expected, the bedding was not quite adequate - no extra duvets or blankets just a duvet inner in the wardrobe - and one of the childrens beds was a thin foam mattress not a proper mattress and although there was a sleepout with more beds in it, it was too separate from our room given the childrens ages. We also felt the warnings about not splashing in the pool or using the bath owing to water loss were not quite fair as water can be brought in to fill the tanks and given the quality of the house and the tarrif, playing in the pool should be part of usual family enjoyment - within reason! But, there is no doubt this is a wonderful property with exceptional views and we had a fantastic time. We loved the decor and the extras like the book and magazine library, the array of childrens toys and most of all the sense of relaxation and luxury that the house has.

Beautiful property, however we rented the property for a private business brainstorming session (as we have done with other properties in the past) and made this clear on making the booking. Over the two days, we were interrupted multiple times by builders and other random cars coming up the driveway, we were also told on exit to take our rubbish with us.

Stunning holiday home. You are spoilt with beautiful views out over the bay then you turn your head and there are more stunning views over another bay and farm land in another direction. Beautiful decor. Lots of different spaces to relax in, magazines, books to read. The kids were busy with the Lego and we all had a wonderful time.
