    Despite the check in issues, we had a great stay!

    We arrived at night and it was very difficult to collect the key from the lockbox as no light above these. There were no instructions on how to open the lockbox in thee we envelope left for us, just a code. It would so much easier to have a pin code on the hotel entry door. It could be changed after each stay. The main hotel door was really difficult to open with the key.

    The hotel room was great, very clean, comfortable bed and the inclusive breakfasts were delicious. The staff were very friendly. Great location and so handy with the Explorer bus stops close by.

    Housekeeping was not done for the three days we were there until we asked for clean towels. Used caps in wine glasses were not replaced, but left in the room. The bed was only made one morning.

    Location was good for the purpose that we were there For a 12m² room with no view it was a very expensive stay. In comparison, our friends had a three bedroom apartment with a beautiful view for less than we paid at the Oyster inn

    Would have liked for breakfast to start earlier than 9am.

    Location was very central to everything, and it was on the main bus route for public transport

    A midday nap may be difficult given the music from the restaurant but they even give you earplugs so I can't really say this is much of a negative.

    The property was very central being on the main street of the main town in Waiheke. The room itself was excellent with all the amenities you could really need and good quality toiletries and complementary food.

    The breakfast was delicious but was slow service, and we needed to get the ferry. We had been there half an hour and I ended up going to ask for it to takeaway. The chef could not have been more apologetic and it was delicious cold anyway. There was no obvious reason the service should have been that slow- there was one other couple in the dining room. It doesn’t change my overall experience which was fabulous

    Only being super picky - it was quite hot when we arrived so took a little time to cool down the room.

    The rooms, although simple were perfect for what we needed. The location is terrific, restaurant is wonderful and the surprise package for us was how delicious the included breakfast was. The staff were also excellent.

    Would have been nice to have a bit more of a view from the room, but that's how it is. Didn't spend a lot of time in the room anyway, the views from just walking through town were awesome.

    The cooked breakfast was excellent every morning. The dinner at the restaurant was fabulous. The service was all round excellent

    Our room was a bit noisy as it was close to the restaurant. But once the restaurant closed it was very quiet.

    Great location and lovely staff and breakfast. Oyster Inn is also the best seafood restaurant in Waiheke
