Company information

**Ask your host Nicky about our luxury van tour options...wine tastings, local sights, bespoke** Your host Carlee has had an article in NZ Gardener Magazine and article posted on NZ news social media website where she talks about her impressive houseplant collection including over 100 houseplants. Mentioned plants have since been growing in the Waiheke Island guest house atrium! Every day here is better than the last one. So whenever you see Carlee or Nicky, they're literally having the best day of their lives! It's our pleasure to help guests have a great trip. Every hundred customers or so we meet a guest who wished they had stayed in a 5 star resort with all the extras. We respect these guests as we do all our valued customers. If a cooked breakfast with fresh fruit and easy entry access is your preference, our place may not be for you. However if you love quirky, peaceful places with character, natural beauty, serenity, comfort, positivity and an indoor garden - you've come to the right place.
