The Moorings Studio Apartments 4 stars

Oneroa

Featuring free Wi-Fi and a private balcony offering sea views, the secluded Moorings Studio Apartments is just 40 metres from the Waiheke Ferry Terminal. Guests enjoy lovely gardens. The property is 3 minutes' drive from Oneroa. Wow, what a location! we're kicking ourselves that we didn't stay an extra night. Such a beautiful, well-kept property nestled away from civilisation. The view cannot be captured in photos, you have to see it for yourself. The place was immaculate, quiet (considering it's above the ferry terminal) and cozy. Close to the ferry terminal so easy check-out, close to buses and an amazing cafe (Ahipao) - we will definitely come back to stay again. It's not so much a dislike so we'll pop this in the 'like' box as we knew this before booking, but just to emphasize for older travellers or those who aren't as able-bodied it's best to book a car or have extra $$$ for taxis as the hill coming up to the accommodation is quite steep and rocky. We found it manageable but just as a sidenote!
