We loved the location, the lovely homely feel and so clean and welcoming.
Everything! There were so many lovely surprises and even though we did not interact with our hosts in person, their efforts made us feel really welcome
No complaints other than there was construction next door.
The accommodation was in a good location close to the main centre. Everything that you could think of was provided. Very clean and well presented. Lovely personal touches including complimentary beverages, chocolates and a personalized hand written card. Quiet, warm and private in a lovely garden setting. Lovely host that went the extra mile.

We arrived in the middle of a storm, what an oasis of peace and beauty. We loved being just a short stroll to Oneroa and had the best sleeps in our super comfortable bed.
A lovely retreat with garden views!
Our accommodation was very comfortable and well-appointed, with additional touches including extra towels, amenities, and snacks. It was very private with a beautiful garden to enjoy at our leisure.
The accommodation was very clean and comfortable. It was very well appointed and the garden an absolute delight. The location was very handy to the ferry and Oneroa.

No complaints
The studio apartment was bright and spacious, with a king size bed, 2 lounge chairs, a small kitchen table & chairs, as well as two chairs on the deck overlooking the amazing garden. Everything was in excellent condition and very comfortable. The kitchen was well equipped and an outdoor barbecue on the deck. Everything you needed was provided (toiletries, beach towels, umbrellas and more--complimentary snacks and drinks). There was also guest laundry and luggage storage available. The location was a short walk into town and the beach, not far from the ferry. The hosts were so welcoming and replied promptly to any requests. We wished we had booked for a longer stay.
There was nothing that could have been better.
Everything was well appointed and cared for our stay.
The garden out our door was spectaculars. coffee on our deck amongst bird sightings was so relaxing.
Location and so clean and a beautiful room surrounded by beautiful gardens. The owners were so helpful and the hospitality was exceptional. Short walk to main Oneroa village , busses and Ferry is a short walk.

I particularly loved the beautiful garden; a leafy oasis. The apartments are within easy walking distance of the town. The owners were friendly and helpful. Comfortable beds.

Einfach wunderbar!
Lovely hosts and beautiful attention to detail from the gardens to the little gifts
Very attentive hosts -great communication. Also gave us ride to ferry terminal. Great location close to village and bus stop. Good shower. Comfy bed. Kitchen had all we needed. Walking distance to Mudbrick
It was all good
The location was perfect. Walking distance to Oneroa village and a bus stop for buses to other parts of the island and the community cinema, art gallery library and a variety of takeaways. The hosts had thought of everything we might need and more. The system of contacting them with any problems was easy and efficient. The bed was long - good for my tall husband. The studio looked out to a beautiful garden you could walk in.
We could have done with more towel rails but there was no room for them and this is the case with most accommodation of this size - goes with the territory. A dish rack for washing up would have been good but again no room for it and we managed fine without it. Both minor and really not a problem.
It was clean, comfortable, and well located. It had everything we needed for cooking. The host was incredibly accommodating and we loved our time there!
Awesome location, beautiful garden view, lovely room, some nice little bonuses and fabulous comms/hosting!

Great Location, Has everything you need.
Getting the key was super easy, as the host texted us the code the key lock box. The room was impeccable; the bed was very comfortable and large. The host left complimentary drinks and snacks for us to enjoy, which was lovely. The garden was beautiful and luscious. It was walking distance to Oneroa Village.

The most beautifully presented, designed and well appointed roomy unit in a fabulous location. Josie & Wayne were friendly & approachable. The gardens were exceptional and our balcony overlooked them so it was amazing inside and out. The little extra complimentary treats were the icing on the cake for an excellent stay. Would stay here again and highly recommend it in a heartbeat. The quality of all the sheets, towels and kitchen appliances were top tier too. Absolutely Loved our stay in this beautiful unit!!
The only negative was having to carry our suitcases in and out over the pebbles to access our unit at the rear of the property and not being able to use our rollers on our suitcases. Very small issue easily overlooked by this perfect accommodation
Well appointed, perfect location

We loved this cottage. Clean and so well equipped. Literally everything you needed in there. Fantastic location close to the little town and about a 6 min walk from the bus stop which is super handy when you arrive. Our host was lovely and the gardens are just absolutely stunning. Would stay here again and were very happy with our stay.

The Oneroa Secret Garden—the perfect retreat on Waiheke Island! Just a short stroll from Oneroa’s centre, you'll find an incredible selection of bars and restaurants at your doorstep. In the other direction, explore two of the island’s best vineyards, just a walk away. The Western Explorer stops less than five minutes on foot. Our stay in the beautifully appointed, modern self-contained apartment was nothing short of spectacular. Overlooking a meticulously maintained garden, the unit offers a tranquil and stylish haven. But what truly made our experience exceptional was Josie, our wonderful host. She welcomed us with a thoughtful collection of complimentary wine, beer, and snacks, making us feel truly at home. Her top recommended dining spots proved to be just as delightful. We wholeheartedly recommend The Secret Garden to anyone eager to immerse themselves in the beauty and charm of Waiheke Island. It makes the island a great experience!
Nothing. Josie thought of it all.
Beautiful setting/gardens Walking distance to Oneroa Very responsive hosts Clean and modern with great amenities

There are 2 apartments behind the main house where the owners are living. Our apartment had a nice outlook on to the garden, and it was relaxing sitting on the private patio, which even had a BBQ. The kitchenette is very well stocked, and we appreciated the treats left for us to enjoy. The bed was very comfortable, the shower was spacious and the water hot.
We wouldn’t recommend the 25 min walk from the ferry up Ocean View Road. We took the bus to the first stop - Oneroa Library - and from there it is a relatively flat walk to Mako Street. This took us no more than 10 min. From this stop you can also catch the bus to Onetsngi and the wineries on route. So this is not a criticism at all. :)
Ein Apartment im Oneroa Secret Garden ist definitiv die beste Unterkunft, die ich je auf Booking.com gefunden habe! Und zwar in jeglicher Hinsicht, denn die liebenswerten Besitzer haben alles mit grösster Liebe zum Detail ausgestattet: Küchenausstattung top (Salz- & Pfeffermühle, Bio-Spülmittel, Aussengrill von Weber, u.v.m.), Bad sehr hochwertig (top modern, genügend Handtücher, edle Produkte, Insektenschutzgitter, …), Apartment mit vielen Details (Taschenlampe für Notfälle, gratis Wasserflaschen neben dem Bett, Insektenschutzgitter, Markise auf der Terrasse, Grill, der zum Apartment gehört, wunderschöne Gartenanlage, u.v.m.). Dazu sind die Vermieter noch sehr zuvorkommend, grosszügig und flexibel. Geschäfte, Restaurants und Strand in problemloser Gehdistanz. Diese Unterkunft würde ich jederzeit wieder buchen.
Nichts - die Unterkunft hat 12 von 10 möglichen Punkten verdient! Ich habe nichts gefunden, was es zu kritisieren gegeben hätte. Es gibt keinen Geschirrspüler.
Property is immaculate, extremely comfortable and very nice. So many extra touch’s, absolutely everything you could think of was provided including lots of snacks, Juice, wine, Extra towels and beach towels, bbq. Wardrobe , Was a home away from home

Walkable distance to ferry, town, beaches and wineries. Comfortable and well appointed
Excellent spot! Didn't lack for anything, cleaner than many hotels I've been to and so well stocked with everything we needed and more. Probably the only spot I'd want to stay at when I'm in Waiheke.
Convenient location. Very accommodating host Apartment had everything you would need ie air fryer and bbq. Fab welcome basket including beer and wine
No sea view
Everything was perfect, location was excellent, great hosts, accommodation immaculately presented, very comfortable bed, had everything we needed and was set in most beautiful garden. All perfect for a lovely few days away.

Great location with tons of unexpected amenities and fabulous hosts. We will definitely stay here again.
The lockbox is old, weathered, and difficult to move the buttons. It may be on it’s last leg.
The apartments had everything you could possibly need, along with some welcome treats. It was a truly lovely place to stay - relaxing, homely, clean and welcoming.
Nice quite location with easy walking to the main bars and restaurants and beach.
Lovely garden. Great ambience of the accommodation. Really appreciated the complimentary treats - it was lovely.

This place is amazing! It has everything you need for a getaway. The paua studio is set up with everything you need from toiletries to beach towels and a picnic blanket. Josie our host was great to deal with and we really appreciated the complimentary snacks, drink and late checkout. We would definitely stay here again!
There's nothing I can fault.
Everything. The apartment was spacious, comfortable, and had every thing that you would want in loving detail. It is in such a beautiful garden. Hosts Josie and Wayne could not have been more helpful. Highly recommended. Waiheke Island was a perfect place to spend a few days getting used to a new time zone. Fantastic coastal walks from the apartment.

We loved everything about this place - location, facilities, hosts, furnishings, etc. The extras - air fryer and BBQ - mean it is even more of a home from home. Also, complementary toiletries, beach towels and picnic blanket are all very welcome. We enjoyed mornings just relaxing here on the balcony before heading out. And it’s only 10 minutes from the ferry. Highly recommended.
We loved everything!
Great location, walking distance to Oneroa & very close to Mudbrick. Very quiet. Completely private from owner’s house & no shared walls with the other apartment so very quiet. Very comfy superking bed. All immaculately clean. Lots of natural light. Garden lovely & sunny private balcony with retractable awning. Generous supply of good quality towels (much better than in most hotels). Large well equipped room & generous size bathroom. Generously supplied with toiletries, tea, coffee, milk & even a complimentary bottle of milk, beer & small bottle of wine. Was good to be able to use the guest washing machine. As others have said, looks much nicer than photos suggest. Easy guest parking. Highly recommend.

Loved our stay at Oneroa Secret Gardens Apartments. A perfect location to visit cafes and beaches in Oneroa. Beautiful, private gardens with amazing bird life. Definitely recommend it for a getaway. Thanks so much!
Gorgeous studio, perfectly clean with everything you could possibly need. Loved the boardwalk and gazebo in the beautiful garden! Location was amazing too - short walk into Oneroa village.
Cosy, beautifully put together and fantastically well equipped. The hosts have been really thoughtful in ensuring guests have everything they need for a fantastic stay. The beach towels and complimentary snacks/drinks were a great touch! This was our third visit and we can’t wait to return

The property was very clean and it had so many kitchen appliances and towels to use daily. I was very surprised. The location is only 15 minute walk from ferry terminal and 14 minute walk from the first vinyards.
Josie was so helpful with clear messages prior to my arrival as to how to get into my room. On arrival I found the most enchanting secret garden that I have ever seen. My room was so bright and fresh and large! Of special mention were the little treats, nibbles left for me. My host Josie even went above and beyond by taking me to a wedding venue the next day as it was raining! I cant recommend The Secret Garden Apartments enough !
Absolutely nothing could have been better. From a bomfy bed to lovely bright surroundings and close to Oneroa town for a wander
Perfect locations, the owners left us a little care package with some drinks and nibbles and allowed us to leave our bags on the last day while we went out to explore the island. Was perfect!

Clean, spacious, well quipped and centrally located (close to oneroa village and cable bay vineyards) absolutely beautiful gardens, with a deck and bbq. We loved staying here. Josie was very kind to us!
