“We really liked the location, but what really stood out for us was the lovely design of the apartment which was just perfect. Lavish but tasteful.”

“Stayed for one night over weekend in January. Wonderfully appointed room and in a spotless condition. A short taxi ride from the ferry terminal. The views were stunning, tranquil and romantic. A short walk to Mudbrick which was the highlight.”

"Perfect location and nice little studio for the two of us. We have absolutely no complaints. Went right at the start of the winter season, but the weather was beautiful (60-65 degrees Fahrenheit). The sun was beaming in morning and night so it warmed up the studio nicely. Loved the shower and shampoo/conditioner products. The Nespresso was wonderful. Views from our patio were gorgeous and I have to say the grounds are very well landscaped."

"The view overlooking the nearby vineyard is spectacular. Access to the rooms is quite easy, and the atmosphere is extremely relaxing. The center of town is pretty good walk, or short taxi trip away. We stayed in the studios, which are quite large and well stocked. The wifi was great and the accommodations were perfect!"

“Can't recommend Cable Bay Views enough. We booked a last minute getaway over Easter and although we caught Jan and Rick (The Hosts) on the hop, they couldn't have been more accommodating and welcoming and pulled out all the stops to make our night away a memorable one for all the right reasons. Facilities were top notch, Bedding luxurious, Dining/lounging areas were stunning and relaxing, with eye popping views back towards Auckland city and across to Cable Bay Vineyard. Beautiful quiet and relaxing property. Highly Recommend.”

“A great place to stay on Waiheke Island! Within walking distance of at least two fabulous wineries and the nearby town (all with great food!). The room and view was great and we would stay there again!”

“We stayed in the two bedroom lodge for one night, this place is beautiful ! Clean, spacious and private! There wasn’t a thing that has been missed apart from wanting to stay longer! Well done we will defiantly return”

“…First impressions were ... WOW! The accommodation is new, fresh, tastefully decorated but also really "homely". Rae, the owner, was really flexible so we could settle in early. After seeing the kitchen layout and view we quickly cancelled our pre-booked restaurant for dinner in favour of cooking and eating in. It was perfect that the lodge comes with a pantry that allows you to knock out a great meal, pour a wine and relax in paradise. We didn't entertain guests but there is plenty of space, chairs and crockery that you could.

Rooms (one with an ensuite) were both lovely and showers were fabulous. Huge TV, great sound system and a few book or magazines are available for browsing.

The accommodation is a short walk (3 minutes) from several vineyards and maybe 30 minutes into Oneroa township. Bush and beach walks are just as handy. We stayed for 3 days so brought our car to explore a bit further afield but frankly the island is well served by taxis and buses and getting around is no problem. Rae gave some tips for walks and restaurants and we felt like we were staying at a friends holiday home (a very flash one) rather than a business guest house…”
