Hidden Valley Waiheke was a highlight of our trip. The setting feels private and immersed in nature, yet still thoughtfully designed and incredibly comfortable. It feels intentional rather than styled, calm rather than performative.
The host communication was excellent. Clear instructions regarding access, proactive guidance about the steep driveway (with helpful tips), and responsive email communication made arrival seamless and expectations well managed.
Waking up to valley views and birdsong felt like a genuine reset. A rare, beautifully resolved retreat on Waiheke.
Highly recommend.
The apartment is modern and comfortable, well equipped from the kitchen to the cosy box spring bed. The view from there or from the veranda over the valley is terrific and Jonathan, the host, is friendly and helpful. There is nithing more you could ask for. Just be careful that the drive towards the apartsment is very steep.
