Waiheke Island Accommodation by Category

Backpackers | B & B's | Boutique | Luxury | Lodges | Motels / Resorts | Self-contained | Campground

Backpackers

The Backpackers category includes budget 'shared' accommodation in a hostel, lodge, or hotel' where the emphasis is on the active travelling experience, facilitating cultural and social interaction for like-minded guests.

Most offer a mixture of dormitories, double, twin and single rooms. Some rooms may include linen; otherwise this can be hired. Some rooms may also have TVs, fridges, tea and coffee and storage facilities.

Bed & Breakfast

Bed & Breakfast accommodation is a wonderfully eclectic mix of all types of hosts and houses, and this is part of its attraction. By opening their homes and their hearts to travellers who need a comfortable bed a night or two, B&B hosts are like instant friends you meet along the way. You have your own room in the host's house and you're served breakfast in the morning.

Boutique

Boutique accommodation represents a high standard of amenities and comfort combined with individuality and flair. 'Boutique' establishments are almost always historic or heritage buildings or landmarks with great character and probably also a story behind them. The food is wonderful and breakfast is often included in the tariff.

Luxury

The Exclusive category includes intimate, exclusive and highly individual establishments which offer the finest of locations, facilities, activities and service. They range from destination retreats offering beauty therapy, fishing, award winning food and wine, to stylish lodges and secluded villas.

Lodges

Always set in beautiful surroundings, lodges are intimate and welcoming. They range from 4 to 20 bedrooms, and offer fine lodging and cuisine in unique surroundings. Each lodge offers unique, intimate and memorable place to stay with its own personality.

Self Contained

Experience the Kiwi 'bach' (or 'crib' as they're called in the South Island) tradition. Many New Zealanders have family holiday homes or cottages that they themselves use and also rent out to friends and others. These holiday homes vary from tiny cottages on remote beaches to large homes with all mod-cons and stunning views. Holiday homes are almost always in idyllic locations beside beaches, rivers, lakes and forests. Renting a holiday home for a short or long stay is a very Kiwi kind of holiday.
