We just returned from a three night stay at Wild Thyme to close our honeymoon. It was one of the most lovely stays we've ever had anywhere in the world. Waiheke itself is beautiful, as are the views from Wild Thyme, which is just minutes from the beach, shops, restaurants, vineyards in and around Oneroa, etc. A great place to spend time with loved ones and/or explore everything the island has to offer.

Bruce and Jules were all that innkeepers should be - cordial and helpful including transport from and to the ferry. |The large apartment-style room was ample and generous for space - with perfect weather we mainly hung out on the spacious balcony with its superb view toward the water and the constant sound of the birds. |Access might at least raise a question, but was not a deterrent - the walk to town is not lengthy but the final stretch is a steep uphill - we were deliberately keeping our exploring to a minimum, and relied on the island's decent taxi services. |Certainly on our list to recommend and for...
