Special conditions:
Our Loan Vehicle Disclaimer - Important to read this carefully.
The loan vehicles are free to use if you have a full drivers license, have experience driving on the left side of the road and prepared to replace fuel used. We want to make you aware that they are UNINSURED. It's not a legal requirement to insure a vehicle in NZ and if we acquired the necessary documentation and certification checks/labels to insure the vehicles we would have to apply a rental charge to help out with the cost. NO RESPONSIBILITY for your safety or injury will be taken by the vehicle owners and you will drive our loan car at your own risk.
Our loan cars are kept up to NZ road-worthy standards and have all the necessary legal requirements (Warrant of fitness and Registration) as well as frequent service checks.
We've had not had an incident or accident by any of our guests since we started in this business 16 years ago but if it were to happen we would cover any damage to our vehicle but once again NOT take responsibility for your safety or injury so you are driving our vehicle at your own risk.

If you are from another country that drives on the right side of the road and if you cannot demonstrate that you are familiar with driving on the left side of the road you could be refused use of a car.
We give and insist at times on a supervisor drive if you are not used to driving on the left side of the road. Cliff will sit in the passenger seat and observe your driving skills and offer any helpful advise on how to stay safe on Waiheke Island roads. This will last for approximately 30-60 minutes. If Cliff decides that you do not have the skills to drive safely and pose a danger to other road users then you will be forbidden the use of the vehicle. If this circumstance were to arise you will be given the contact details of the cheapest taxi company and we will help out where we can. Example: to drop you off at a vineyard or to go shopping.
The car is not to be driven East of Onetangi as the roads are unpaved with steep drop-offs in places. Shuttles are available for hire to take you to Man-O-War Bay and Stoney Batter

Waiheke Island is larger than most people think and we consider a car essential if you want to take in all the glorious beaches, vineyards, cafes and restaurants.
Extras: Cleaning (included); Linen (included);

Disappointing, misleading, misrepresented
When we booked and paid for 5 nights. The impression from the website was we would be staying in the main house in an apartment overlooking the water view. Instead we had what is classed as a ‘donger’ in Australia .. a transportable structure divided into two seperate accommodations. Because we were located lower on the property, the view was much less. Inside the donger, the bed was double size. The linen was so worn, we could see through it. The towels (2only) had a very organic smell and very old. Very basic and old, worn out. The tiny bathroom had no shelf, only one towel rail. The only mirror in the donger was on the wall behind the toilet so you needed to stand astride the toilet to use the mirror. The outdoor table was moss covered. It was a bonus to get a car to use even tho it was around 20 years old and not clean. We contacted Stayz because we felt the property was mis represented and have asked for a refund. At this stage we have not from the host, it’s been a week!! We are very disappointed, don’t be tricked

Disappointing
Bed was uncomfortable, beside units not practical to place cup of tea/coffee on, resulting in spillage that seeped through to the clothes in the draw below. Couch was too small and uncomfortable for 2 to relax on. Dining table and chairs were metal outdoor table and chairs, which were not only uncomfortable to sit on, but got to hot to sit on, when sun was beating through the window. Bathroom too small and awkward to be able to get ready in. No vanity to put toothpaste and toothbrushes on at minimum. Sink was basically a tiny hand wash basin. No hooks to hang damp towels on to dry after a shower. Only two hooks with 2 coat hangers each to hang clothes on. Which one wonders, if they were meant for the towels. Afternoon sun, made accommodation like a sauna, requiring curtains to be closed to keep heat down. No air con to help cool down and fans provided just moved already hot air around the room. Unit neighbours another unit, with no comfortable outdoor seating for both parties to make use of at the same time. Shower limited to 3 mins, which we totally support being on tank water, however, shower head did not stay upright, causing time and water to be wasted trying to get it to stay upright, especially when hair needed washing/rinsing. Ended up having to take the shower head out of its frame to wet self and then again to rinse self. Kitchen was best part of the accommodation, which was fully equipped.

Great location!
I had a great stay at this property! Gaye, Cliff and Jamie were very friendly and accommodating, going above and beyond to make sure I was comfortable. The studio came with free car, which was very helpful to be able to see the island. I can't recommend this place enough if you coming to Waiheke Island!

About the host

Hosted by Gaye and Cliff

Host profile image
Myself and wife Gaye have owned and operated our Villa Pacifica accommodation for 17 years. Cliff has lived on the island for most of his life and Gaye was born on Waiheke. So I guess that makes her a 'Waihetian' ha ha.
You're in good hands with local people who know the island very well.
We are situated in an absolutely pristine and peaceful neighborhood. The only sound you will hear is the wind and bird life making it an ideal environment for rest and relaxation. Yet by making use of our free car guests can easily access in a few minutes the local shopping, vineyards, cafes, restaurants, activities, beaches and the walking tracks start right at our back door
Getting around:
Free use of a car available with every booking with a full drivers license. Taxis can easily be contacted and available or bus route not too far away.
Relax on a paved balcony on top of a hill overlooking the ocean. Use of a BBQ if required. Wireless internet also available and is free to use
Guest access
Our entire 18 acres with lots of walking tracks down to the sea
Guest interaction:
The owners are available to help at any time. You are on your own until you request something.
We both like to travel. Our favorite holiday destination would be the Amalfi Coast area of Italy.

What makes this property unique

Free use of a car included with full drivers license and transfers from/back to the Waiheke wharf up to and including the 5pm sailing. Free wifi available. Cafes, Vineyards & Restaurants only minutes drive away or walk to Batch winery.
