I stayed at the Oyster Inn for 2 nights in room 3 and enjoyed my stay, I was a bit confused with checking in but that was probably lack of sleep on my part. I was allowed to leave my luggage inside by the reception whilst I went and had lunch. The room and bathroom were both clean, there were complimentary snacks for guests which not a lot of places provide. It was very quiet at night and I was comfortable. The only issue was the blaring sound coming from I don’t know where on my first night but I don’t think the Inn could really do anything about that. The staff were lovely Overall, I enjoyed my short stay and I recommend the Oyster Inn! I also heard from a family member and family friend that the food and drinks at the connected restaurant were great so will definitely have to try that next time! Would book here again :)))

Beautiful island, nice wines!

We had a wonderful stay at The Oyster inn, from the very start when we were met by the wonderful Stefi at the reception desk till we left the day after. The room was nice and clean, quiet at night (I slept like a baby for 7 hours...) and with a nice bathroom. Waiheke itself was as nice as we had hoped. Beautiful surroundings, a lovely beach (we took a morning swim, a bit chilly at around 15 Celcius...), easy to take the local bus to the wineries at Onetangi Rd. Wish we had stayed one more day... We visited the Stonyridge, Te Motu, Tantalus, Man O'War and Mudbrick wineries.

Couldn't have asked for a better location. So many great eateries within a short distance, so it didnt matter that the Oyster Inn Restaurant itself was shut on Tuesday. Really liked the room. Spacios and bright with a small balcony and the bathroom was huge. Had a noise free night on a comfortable bed and slept well. Highly recommend the community cinema, which is just a short walk from the accomodation, and Nomads for breakfast, even closer. Would recommend for a shirt stay. Probably the only improvement would be a bin in the bedroom area for the tea/coffee station etc. Apart from that, the room was clean and had everything we needed for our stay, albeit basic, as the location and convenience boost the rating.
