We loved everything about our stay at the Villino at Cypress Ridge Estate. The views are absolutely stunning; the pool, hot tub and patio further enrich the experience. The house is delightfully tiny, tastefully decorated, and full of big windows and charming historic features. The kitchen is well stocked. The nearby beach is the most famous on the island, wonderful for walking and swimming, with lots of cute beach restaurants. - Just perfection!

Our best Airbnb yet! Kim was such a lovely host and came to personally show us around when we arrived. The home was beautiful—so charming and the views were better than the pictures! We couldn’t believe that the fridge was also stocked for us when we arrived. The property is breathtaking and within walking distance to several of the wineries and the beach. The pool was gorgeous and so well-maintained along with the hot tub. Our hyperfixation for the weekend was enjoying the pool with frozen margaritas in hand from the slushee machine. We truly had the best time and hope to be back someday. Thank you so much Kim for hosting us

Gorgeous view and lovely pool and spa! We really enjoyed our stay here - the breakfast provisions were a super lovely touch! Excellent location on Waiheke too - we actually preferred staying in this part of the island given the proximity to excellent vineyards, the beach and lots of terrific eateries!

Outstanding experience with an extremely caring and kind host. The pictures don’t do this home justice. One of a kind Airbnb and we’re lucky to have been guests of this property. Can’t recommend enough

Absolutely amazing! Having planned our stay at The Villino with a year in advance the expectations were high so when we got there and saw the view, the accommodation, the pool, the spa, it was all perfect! Perfect place to celebrate any special occasion with your loved one! We sure won't forget our 10th wedding anniversary at The Villino. Also thank you to all the Stay Waiheke crew, they were amazing from the time of the reservation till the end of our stay! Book it, you won't regret it

Simply our favorite place to be. We just wanted to stay and enjoy everything this property had to offer. The pool, spa, incredible views and all the right comforts made this our perfect home away from home. The privacy and views from this incredible location are simply astounding. We will definitely be back again and again. There isn’t a better place to be while in Waiheke

What a beautiful property! My fiancée and I stayed here when I proposed to her and it was one of the best stays we’ve had. The bedroom has gorgeous views, the bathroom was super clean, the kitchen had everything you could ever need and the pantry was so well stocked. The hot tub was perfect for the chilly autumn nights. We has the best stay and we wished we could live there forever

One of the best AirBnB experiences we have ever had. The place is stunning, everything you need, and the little touches made the stay extra easy and special. The pool was incredible, spa beautifully clean, and the house rustic but comfortable and clean. Kim was a fabulous host, and thanks for organizing a car at such short notice

The pictures can't capture the peacefulness this home offers. The views were amazing. The bed was very comfortable and the kitchen was well equipped. We appreciated the breakfast, drinks and local snacks provided after our long flight. The ferry was easy to navigate and the transportation arranged made our vacation begin with ease

Amazing place to stay on Waiheke, the villa, the pool and the view were just stunning. I don't think the pictures even do it justice! We loved the tasty breakfast provisions and that there was a number of lovely vineyards within walking distance. It was the perfect start to our honeymoon moon in NZ to recover from the jetlag (from the UK)

We loved our stay at The Vilino! The Vilino is extremely charming and the views are spectacular. It was such a great place to stay that the only downside was fighting the urge to hangout there by the pool all day. The ease of having amazing wineries right next door to visit can’t be beaten

We LOVED staying here! Beautiful views in the most charming villa - seeing it in person is even better than the photos. Many thanks to Kim for being a great hostess! Can’t wait to come back!

This has been one of the most incredible experiences a guest can wish for! The host was extremely accomodating with any requests we made and made sure our stay was top notch. The views were absolutely breathtaking and the pool area was like a 5 star resort, photos don't do this villa enough justice. Our stay was was worth every penny and I would recommend this to anybody looking for a special getaway.
