The property was nice and clean and very comfortable. The location of the property was very conveniently located as it was so easy to move around. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Thank you for having us.
Beautiful wee cottage thats actually very roomy, lovely decor, great bed, awesome location. Well worth the fee. Comms with owner manager were swift anf informative.
This property is perfectly located for the ferry and the shops as well as wineries up the road. Cosy and warm and great kitchen. Fireplace was a welcome addition and loved having Sky. Even managed to catch some winter rays on the back deck. Highly recommend this place to stay
Mako cottage is a lovely place. A perfect size for a family.
It is very well appointed.
It is close to Oneroa for restaurants and the beach and close to the ferry as well.
Highly recommended.
We used this place as a home base for my groomsmen. Was super close to mudbrick where I got married. Clean and easy to get in and out of. Perfect for what we needed.
The stay at Mako Cottage was just what was needed.Everything we needed was at Mako Cottage and the location enabled easy access to everything we needed to whilst having a great weekend away on Waiheke.
The accommodation is great. Clean, tidy and well equipped with everything you need for your holiday.
15 minute walk to Mudbrick and 3 minute walk to the Oneroa shops.
Fantastic location - we have already booked our next visit.
Very short walk to passenger ferry & just a short walk to shops, Resturant’s and cafés. Awesome house has everything you need, a fifteen minute walk to Mudbrick winery and Cable Bay winery. A short drive gets you to outstanding beaches. Only one negative is, it gets quite a bit of road noise, we weren’t expecting that.
Lovely place in a great location. Suited out family of 2 adults/2 kids perfectly. Very clean and tidy, good communication with the property manager. Would definately recommend. Thank you we had a great time!
We had a lovely two day getaway. The house was very comfortable. I did think from the online photos we were over looking the beach so that was a bit of a surprise. Nevertheless the beach was still close just a short walk.
Denise was a great host who was very easy to communicate with and made our stay lovely. Mako cottage was perfect for a weekend getaway, super close to Oneroa and a fantastic deck to sit out on.
Enjoyed our stay here. Was perfect location and the Bach was very comfortable. Only issue was all the bugs which is due to being surrounded by nature so not a bad trade off. Bring mozzie repellant.
