Blackpool Bayside - Stay Waiheke

Amazing location, so peaceful, fantastic views, bird song, safe enclosed garden. Lovely walks from the house. Safe swimming metres from the door. Perfect in so many ways!!

I appreciate there is not a lot that could be done about it but we did manage to bump our heads on the beams when looking at the amazing view from the top bedroom. We certainly don’t do it twice!! A blind on the roof window in the other room would be good.

The location was handy, and the view was exceptional. The house had recently been repainted, so it looked fresh, although there was a strong smell of paint.

The house could have been aired to minimize the overwhelming paint odour. The gate leading to where the lock box was located had rusted off its hinge and had to be stepped on to gain access. The microwave was difficult to operate, as the writing on the buttons had faded, making it difficult to read. Unfortunately, the mower person arrived at 8 a.m. to mow and whipper-snip. We had gone to a wedding the night before and hadn't gotten to bed until after 1 am so we were quite annoyed about being disturbed. I am not sure why the mower person couldn't have waited until we checked out at 10.30 am. There were exposed wires coming out of the wall and floor in the lounge room. Feedback was provided to the property managers so these issues could be addressed for future stays.

great view

smell

The view was nice.

Not well equipped. Lousy furniture. Asked for a couple more bath towels and was refused. The potential lack of usable water was never mentioned until we arrived.
