Reviews for The Sands Waiheke

Review 1:Fantastic views, we stayed in the beach front villa. Worth the extra $$$ Where else on Waiheke can you walk accross the grass to the beach? Views and sound of the surf at night is priceless.

Review 2:Lack of Internet access

Review 3:Excellent location and beautiful views. Internet was more miss then hit, but if you can turn off the laptop then it is perfect.

Review 4:Disappointed that the ground floor room booked was only 'ground floor' at the entrance level. Travelling with a 2yo I was conscious of booking ground floor to remove the safety risk of falling from height (windows, balconies etc) - this made for increased levels of awareness on a weekend which was planned for overall relaxation (whilst still being a parent, obviously)

Review 5:The bed was awesome! incredibly comfortable. Location, kitchen facilities and staff were fabulous. Massive TV and lovely accommodation overall.

Review 6:Lounge seating could be updated or upgraded. Bedside Table Lamps were not very efficient - too dull.

Review 7:Location, quietness, relaxed atmosphere. Friendly, helpful management.

Review 8:We booked this as a surprise for family visiting from England as a way to relax into their holiday and get over their Jetlag. Boy did it work - they haven't stopped commenting on it. Be careful - the view of the beach is mesmerising!

Review 9:No air flow in bedrooms, some mosquitos at dusk so couldn't keep windows open, hard to keep water from getting out of shower stall onto floor

Review 10:Living area, well stocked kitchen, laundry in apartment, great towels, proximity to beach
