The loan vehicles are free to use if you have a full drivers license, have experience driving on the left side of the road and prepared to replace fuel used. We want to make you aware that they are UNINSURED. It's not a legal requirement to insure a vehicle in NZ and if we acquired the necessary documentation and certification checks/labels to insure the vehicles we would have to apply a rental charge to help out with the cost. NO RESPONSIBILITY for your safety or injury will be taken by the vehicle owners and you will drive our loan car at your own risk. Our loan cars are kept up to NZ road-worthy standards and have all the necessary legal requirements (Warrant of fitness and Registration) as well as frequent service checks.

If you are from another country that drives on the right side of the road and if you cannot demonstrate that you are familiar with driving on the left side of the road you could be refused use of a car. We give and insist at times on a supervisor drive if you are not used to driving on the left side of the road. Cliff will sit in the passenger seat and observe your driving skills and offer any helpful advise on how to stay safe on Waiheke Island roads. This will last for approximately 30-60 minutes. If Cliff decides that you do not have the skills to drive safely and pose a danger to other road users then you will be forbidden the use of the vehicle. If this circumstance were to arise you will be given the contact details of the cheapest taxi company and we will help out where we can. Example: to drop you off at a vineyard or to go shopping. The car is not to be driven East of Onetangi as the roads are unpaved with steep drop-offs in places. Shuttles are available for hire to take you to Man-O-War Bay and Stoney Batter

A peaceful and restorative stay. A car, for freedom.....
The location of the property, on a hill bordering a national park means wonderful vistas, facinating wildlife and peace.The accommodation is spacious and comfortable for two people. The welcome is warm and help and advice readily avaliable. readilavavailable
Relaxing weekend, so great to have access to a car!
This was our third stay at Villa Pacifica and it was fantastic, as always
Smooth check-in process and communication with the property manager.
Lovely view from property and access to a car for exploring the island
Highly recommended
Wonderful position, spacious. Pick up service and the use of a car contributed to an excellent experience on the Island. We were made very welcome by the hosts.
A great week away at superb accommodation with amazing views. Use of car was a generous addition. Extremely helpful manager.
Wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again.
The property was immaculately clean and the hosts could not do enough for you. The property is quite remote (which we like) so the use of a car was a real bonus ..and essential! Fabulous views of the bay. The facilities are fairly basic … a few more home comforts would have been appreciated. We agree with other reviews that the outside furniture is not very comfortable but we went to the local charity shop and bought some cheap cushions ….problem solved!
Two 1 bedroom Apartments are reasonably tidy and pleasant...you definitely need the use of the car..be forewarned the cars are older and have gear column changes on steering wheel..would suit 2 couples..outdoor furniture needs updating as not comfortable..peaceful outlook..
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Villa Pacific. It is a little far from town but that's not a problem because you get free use of a car during the stay. The view is stunning and the surrounding bush was tranquil. I would recommend this place to anyone.
Loved every minute of our stay. Great communication from the hosts and the use of the car fantastic.
Would definitely recommend this as a relaxing peaceful place to stay and the view just magnificent.

Beautiful spot. Pleasant, clean house with all the modcons. Friendly, knowledgeable host.
I loved Villa Pacifica! The views of Hauraki Gulf were stunning. Cliff was a friendly,knowledgeable host, and the vehicle that came with the house was a big plus for exploring Waiheke Island. I’ll stay longer next time!

About the host
Hosted by Gaye and Cliff
Myself and wife Gaye have owned and operated our Villa Pacifica accommodation for 17 years. Cliff has lived on the island for most of his life and Gaye was born on Waiheke. So I guess that makes her a 'Waihetian' ha ha. You're in good hands with local people who know the island very well. We are situated in an absolutely pristine and peaceful neighborhood. The only sound you will hear is the wind and bird life making it an ideal environment for rest and relaxation. Yet by making use of our free car guests can easily access in a few minutes the local shopping, vineyards, cafes, restaurants, activities, beaches and the walking tracks start right at our back door Getting around: Free use of a car available with every booking with a full drivers license. Taxis can easily be contacted and available or bus route not too far away. Relax on a paved balcony on top of a hill overlooking the ocean. Use of a BBQ if required. Wireless internet also available and is free to use Guest access Our entire 18 acres with lots of walking tracks down to the sea Guest interaction: The owners are available to help at any time. You are on your own until you request something. We both like to travel. Our favorite holiday destination would be the Amalfi Coast area of Italy.
What makes this property unique
Free use of a car included with full drivers license and transfers from/back to the Waiheke wharf up to and including the 5pm sailing. Free wifi available. Cafes, Vineyards & Restaurants only minutes drive away or walk to Batch winery.
