Waiheke Island Tawa Lodge - Adults Only

L'affidabilità e l'accoglienza

è un posto un po' umido

I had a wonderful stay in the cottage. Views just devine and very comfortable with everything you could need. Lovely owners. Highly recommend staying here.

Everything was great. It had more than we expected and the view was magic. The room had a great view of the ocean. The room were very clean and tidy. Bathroom is very spacious. Staff were very helpful.

My wife and i only got to spend a night there.

The view

Steap driveway

I enjoyed everything here. Dyan and Rob are so lovely and so supportive making you feel welcomed not just on phone but updating and looking after their guests via email and in-person as well. They create such a beautiful atmosphere, the cleaning staff is kind and competent with the clean-up and stock up for the accommodation. I love the design and bed and the kitchen that had everything there. I enjoyed the breakfast as well. Absolutely would recommend for anyone wanting a beautiful stay because the energy is peaceful and the view that you get is divine. Thanks again to this beautiful accommodation which I will definitely come back to when I am on the island! Fa'afetai lava - thank you.

nil, loved everything

This was booked somewhat quickly and cheaply. But the rooms were comfortable, the property had fantastic views and condiments kept well stocked.

The bugs that appeared if you left food out!

The view

Welcoming/homely feel. Beautiful view

Waiheke’s best kept secret. Excellent value, spacious, fabulous views and great location. Perfect!

Great location, wonderful communication and very comfortable stay. Thank you!

die nähe zum strand und stadt

klimatisierung

Amazing location beautiful views even from the toilet!!!! really handy for the bus, the vineyards and town

The stairs! Just because my friend had a broken leg!

Majapaikka oli mäen päällä ja sieltä oli kaunis näköala merelle. Paikka oli rauhallinen, viihtyisä ja siisti. Henkilökunta oli todella ystävällistä. Sain mm. autokyydin ruokakaupalle saapumiseni jälkeen. Pienessä keittiössä oli kiva kokkailla seuraten samalla auringonlaskua.

Huone oli melko kuuma lämpimällä säällä. Ikkunoissa ei ollut hyttysverkkoja.

Absolutely beautiful location

Air vent for toilets close to this room. Can let off a smell which can be unpleasant with wrong wind direction

Tres bien

Breakfast N/A. Quiet location suited us well. Nice grounds. Great views. Only short walk to little oneroa beach and oneroa main street for food. Friendly informative staff. Studio was just right for our needs. Good shower pressure. Bed was comfortable.

Nothing major - just silly little things. A little sink in the kitchenette area would have been good in the studio but we were able to fill the kettle in the bathroom sink and use the lodge kitchenette if we needed to wash dishes. A couple of extra long towel rails would have been good on the main wall in the bathroom and a small one right by the bathroom sink for the hand towel. The only thing that was a bit weird was having a full length glass window right next to the toilet, but the blind was able to be pulled for privacy.

Friendly hosts, rural but comfortable . What I expect at Waiheke.

All was good

Amazing setting a few minutes walk from the beach. Lovely, friendly staff and a very comfortable room. It's not flashy/5-star but it was everything I needed for a few days on the island. I stayed solo but the room was a good size for more people. Breakfast being included was very welcome. There's a bus stop at the bottom of the hill which was handy for getting around without a car.

It was very spacious and beds comfortable

It was very old and in need of refurbishment There were cobwebs throughout the property

I booked this because it was cheap, but it really pleasantly surprised me. Stunning location with a view of the ocean, only a few minutes' walk to Little Oneroa beach which is gorgeous, and the room was really cosy with a sleeping loft. Lovely garden with tables for sitting in the sun or shade, and handy little kitchenette. Easy access with the bus too. Very helpful and responsive staff. Shared bathroom/toilet was always spotlessly clean.

When it was windy, the trees bashed against the roof of the sleeping loft - take earplugs if you're a light sleeper!

The relaxed clean and tidy facilities. I stayed here 10 years ago and the owner remembered me. Breakfast is self serve which was more than ample.

Beautiful beach views from my window. It has a steep hill to climb to the property so not for the faint hearted. Or use a taxi.

Lovely stay. Welcoming staff. Fab views. Nice brekky and plenty.

Top Aussicht Gutes Frühstück Unkomplizierte Atmosphäre

Im Zimmer fehlen Aufhänge- und Ablagemöglichkeiten

It was incredible. Lovely staff. I upgraded my room by chance. It was stunning with breathtaking views

Nothing

Excellent breakfast, gorgeous outlook

Dejligt sted, godt værelse, søde og hjælpsomme værter og personale.😘 Flot udsigt og rigeligt til morgenmad, så "what is not to like".. skønne strande nedad, og flere steder på øen. Tæt på Oneroa Village med butikker og spisesteder.. Gode offentlige busser, der dækker det halve af øen, men ikke yderpunkter og hele østsiden. De kører ofte og prisen for en tur er 2,80 NZ$ ×3,60 DKK. Jeg vil anbefale et AT HOP Card, der dækker hele Auckland regionen.

Stejl vej op og stejl indkørsel, men det er typisk Waiheke. Svært at forestille sig at man kan parkere på grunden.

Kindness of the owners :)

Excellent location , staff and amenities

Mosquitoes unfortunately but that could be anywhere

Everything. Dyann and her team are incredible. Our accommodation Aroma del Mare was a dream. The view from our room and terrace across Oneroa Beach just amazing.

Nothing. Everything was exceptional.

Beautiful views, peaceful, good range of food provided for breakfast at a very good price

Beautiful view, good breakfast, lots of space in the room. I read in previous reviews about mosquitos being a problem but we did not have this experience. We did keep the windows closed at night and the ventilator kept us nice and cool. Location was great and amazing views!

Looked better than in the photo. It was unique and memorable

Second time at Tawa Lodge and we loved it - again! Peaceful, quiet, comfortable and superb sea views from our room located high up on a hill overlooking the bay with lots of birdlife around us. So close to two amazing beaches and a short walk to some great cafes, restaurants and shops at Oneroa village. Diane, Callan and team are brilliant hosts, so friendly and helpful. Nothing is ever a problem; really lovely people. Would highly recommend Tawa Lodge!

Location breakfast kindness of owners

Love it all

Stunning view. Didn't have breakfast 😕

The shower failed but was rapidly fixed. Access was unsuitable for infirm or disabled people.

Lovely spot great staff

I got eaten my mosquitos

Aussicht, Garten und Patio. Möglichkeit zum Grillen.

Teppich im Zimmer und Patio. Einkaufsmöglichkeit zu Fuss relativ weit weg (12-15 min)

View from the room

Brilliant location short walk to Little Oneroa beach. 10 mins walk to Oneroa and shops.

Nothing.

The staff is fantastic. They really show the great hospitality of New Zealand residents. I am a long ways from Waiheke Island but would love to be able to go back to New Zealand someday and would definitely stay at the Tawa Londge again.

I would have liked to open the windows and screens on the windows would have been nice so the bugs/mosquitos wouldn't get in.

Location , close the bus stop and have a beautiful be ah very close

The views and affordability!

Location: very close to the shops and the beach View: awesome view of the ocean No stress check in and out Very friendly staff Value for money

We absolutely loved our stay! The cottage was comfortable, beautifully maintained, and had everything we needed. The highlight was definitely the stunning bay view — we spent hours just relaxing and taking it all in. The location was peaceful yet convenient for exploring Waiheke. If we come back to the island, we’d definitely choose to stay here again. Highly recommend!

L’emplacement est magnifique.

Le confort reste basique.

Great location, amazing views and a bonus breakfast. Great hosts!

Great location and views from accommodation. Short walk to Little Oneroa beach and 15 min walk to Oneroa village. Bus stop very close by. Great facilities including kitchenette and shared bathroom which were all very clean and tidy. Lovely to have a simple continental breakfast included which had everything I needed to start off the day!

Nothing, great accommodation for a short stay on the island!

The view was stunning

Nothing

Lack of curtains on all windows No keto option for breakfast

The location is perfect and the sea views are amazing. The cottage we stayed in was super comfortable, cosy, clean and had everything we needed. Dyan and the team at Tawa are lovely and very helpful. We really enjoyed sitting on the balcony and looking at the wonderful view. Would highly recommend staying here!

Nothing, it was perfect.

I loved the situation, close to the centre of Oneroa and the view to the sea. Fantastic. The option of leaving luggage on the day earlier than book in and also being able to leave it longer after bookout time was a great advantage. I loved my loft bed and the basket breakfast was superb. I could choose what I liked.I also liked the small round tables and chairs outside each unit with the magnificent view. I loved the tur's

The night I stayed, I was the only one in the three units beside me. I felt a tad isolated! But that was only because of bookings.

Location was awsome , close to everything and the view was exceptional. Breakfast was very nice and got everything we needed and fresh for the next day.

Everything was perfect , no complaints

The apartment had everything that we needed for a comfortable stay. I would stay again and certainly recommend the Tara Lodge to friends. The only complaint would be the pillows, they were all too soft.

Quiet. Great View. Ex location.

We needed tea towels, bath mat but reception closed being Sunday. Lovely otherwise.

Hi, I'm Anna from Auckland. I recently stayed here and was thoroughly impressed. The place was spotlessly clean, and the staff were warm and welcoming. Our studio room had a stunning view, and we felt right at home. I highly recommend this place to family and friends. The prices were very reasonable, and the friendly atmosphere made our stay even more enjoyable. I'll definitely be back to stay here again!"

I spent the weekend on Waiheke celebrating my birthday, and it was wonderful! I only wish I could have stayed a bit longer to explore the island more - there's still so much to see and discover!"

Wonderful to be able to have breakfast in the gazebo looking at the stunning view.

Tawa Lodge was so lovely. Beautiful views, very comfortable and friendly hosts.

Beautiful views, clean and spacious. Friendly staff

Nothing

Amazing views, great communication with the host, who explained in amazing detail how to get there, to previous a ferry, really so grateful

That we stayed only 2 nights

The view from the property and the staff are excellent.

There is a good, short walk uphill from the bus stop that we enjoyed but guests with mobility issues might find this challenging.

Generally nice place.

Main point of anger is that property is listed as .1 mile from centre (of Oneroa). We specifically searched and selected on this. In reality, distance is .8 mile+ according to my sports watch and mobile; this meant walking significant distance, uphill, in heat of middle of day with my 82 yr old mother and all our luggage. Misleading and unacceptable!

View

Amazing views, lovely facilities. Clean and tidy. The breakfast every morning was a lovely touch. The people who worked there were so lovely and so were the other guests. Loved everything about it

Nothing!

Great location, short stroll to the beach.

Neet and tidy property

No Air condition, Lot of flies and insects on the property. Very conjusted driveaway, Cant take risk if you have Ute or big SUV.

Very good area! Close to beaches. Staff very helpful and friendly.
