    Thanks, Bruce and Jules ! We really enjoyed staying in one night. There was wonderful view from the room. My girls love those board games in the room. This is the best experience here in Auckland.

    There’s nothing to not like! It really is perfect. Beautiful property with stunning views owned by the wonderful Bruce and Jules.

    It’s a piece of Paradise on a beautiful island. The property, the location and the owners, Bruce and Jules are all exceptional. It’s more than a 10 rating. We finished out our travels of NZ here and Bruce and Jules could not have been more kind or hospitable to make our stay absolutely perfect.

    A total gem. Fantastic space, incredibly well thought out by the owners. It is a very special place to go - the island is remarkable, in a remarkable country. Well worth the effort and price.

    Very clean, spacious and comfortable stay. The appartment really has everything you could think of! Like beachtowels, insectspray, washingmachine including liquids etc. etc.! Anything I could think of, it was there ;) Perfect for a stay with 2 young kids! The hosts were very welcoming and friendly and also very easy going and flexible. We got a lot of good recommendations from Bruce and we all liked them. So definitely recommend to stay here!

    That we had to leave😉

    Wild Thyme is an excellent place to stay for your visit to Waiheke. Your hosts, Jules & Bruce, are fantastic to assist with any matter you might wonder about. The place is immaculate fresh and clean with comfortable beds and all other things you may need like ironing board, fridge, coffemachine etc. It is just a few minutes walk to the beach and another few minutes walk to restaurants and shops in Oneroa.
