Most reviews mention very clean rooms and quiet nights, though one longer stay reported inconsistent housekeeping. The low-key setup can make check-in a bit confusing for some, and the boutique property feels private and relaxed. Ideal for travellers seeking a small, walkable base on Waiheke.

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.

Very well located and breakfast excellent. Rooms starting to look tired and didn't feel like they were cleaned properly. I don’t think our bedsheets were changed during the 5 nights we stayed which is what you expect for $500 a night.

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 :)))

The breakfast was very unusual but so good. They were able to add and remove some of the ingredients I didn’t like. The room was super big, clean, good shower, very comfortable bed and cosy comforters to keep us warm. The food menu at the restaurant was delicious and very interesting. The staff was super friendly and efficient. 10/10 definitely going back

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.

The room was cute and had everything we needed. Our room had two windows looking out to a car park so not much to see there. Comfy bed and nice linen, loved the aesop soaps! It's in a great spot and the restaurant was great. Breakfast comes free with your stay but it was a little average we had the bacon and egg brioche roll which was a bit dry. We also had the crumpets which were a little under done but the jam and cream it came with were amazing. We were the only ones there for breakfast and one of the staff members was vacuuming arround the space - not a great mood/vibe setter haha! Overall a nice space but not sure we would stay again. Definitely would come back to the restaurant though!

We booked for two nights for a girls trip away. The hotel room was lovely and a great size for what we needed. The extra details - bathrobes, aesop shampoo & soap and complimentary snacks in our room made the trip. The restaurant had great food and we were even able to take dessert back to our room one night. The breakfast which was included in our stay was excellent and had a great choice of options for food as well as tea and coffee. We were able to easily walk to the beach as well as a decent walk to some local wineries. The local buses were easy to use using our AT Hop Card, getting us directly to the hotel from the Ferry and also on to other parts of the island. We will be back!

Dining
On-site dining earns strong praise for tasty meals and an excellent breakfast, often included, with flexible options when the restaurant is closed on some weekdays. Occasional negatives include a slow breakfast and a couple of average items.

Charming older building with just three rooms. Private and quiet but centrally located near restaurants and shops, and the beach. The Oyster Inn’s own restaurant is excellent!

We booked for two nights for a girls trip away. The hotel room was lovely and a great size for what we needed. The extra details - bathrobes, aesop shampoo & soap and complimentary snacks in our room made the trip. The restaurant had great food and we were even able to take dessert back to our room one night. The breakfast which was included in our stay was excellent and had a great choice of options for food as well as tea and coffee. We were able to easily walk to the beach as well as a decent walk to some local wineries. The local buses were easy to use using our AT Hop Card, getting us directly to the hotel from the Ferry and also on to other parts of the island. We will be back!

The room was cute and had everything we needed. Our room had two windows looking out to a car park so not much to see there. Comfy bed and nice linen, loved the aesop soaps! It's in a great spot and the restaurant was great. Breakfast comes free with your stay but it was a little average we had the bacon and egg brioche roll which was a bit dry. We also had the crumpets which were a little under done but the jam and cream it came with were amazing. We were the only ones there for breakfast and one of the staff members was vacuuming arround the space - not a great mood/vibe setter haha! Overall a nice space but not sure we would stay again. Definitely would come back to the restaurant though!

The breakfast was very unusual but so good. They were able to add and remove some of the ingredients I didn’t like. The room was super big, clean, good shower, very comfortable bed and cosy comforters to keep us warm. The food menu at the restaurant was delicious and very interesting. The staff was super friendly and efficient. 10/10 definitely going back

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.

The property is right in the centre of busy Oneroa. It is in an ideal position, for a short walk to the beach, local shops, cafes and restaurants and even a cinema. The bus stop is virtually outside the hotel, and there is parking for cars at the rear. A place where you can access all of the beautiful places on the island. Thank you for the breakfast vouchers too.
