Iluka is run by Kathy & John and it is obvious they love their home and love guests! Everything about the place speaks of comfort and care. We were 3 ladies from Auckland having a break and Waiheke by fast ferry is ideal. One of our party had been there before and highly recommended it. Kathy & John greeted us... More

Kathy & John are the ultimate good hosts, who have thought of anything you might need before you ever thought of it. Coming from the U.S. we were a little the worse for wear, driving on 'the wrong side of the road', etc. Experiencing New Zealand really IS seeing the best that nature has to offer-including the fact that no...

We stayed at Iluka just after Easter for 3 nights with our 2 yr old son. We couldn't have been happier with the accommodation and helpful friendly hosts. The quality and attention to detail was second to none, from the linen to the delicious cooked breakfast. We would gladly return!

Iluka bed and breakfast is a perfect place to stay on Waiheke Island. The property is located at a very peaceful spot called Rocky Bay and it has a uninterrupted view of the sea across a well kept area of grassland. John and Kathy are fantastic hosts, Kathy met us off the ferry and also drove us to a local... More

Kathy and John were wonderful,gracious hosts. The accomodation and bed were very comfortable and private. The breakfast was delicious! The muesli was homemade, as well as freshly cut fruit ,and the cooked breakfast was cooked to perfection. Along with this they recommended where we should eat out for dinner. It was a superb and tasty recommendation. Thank you kathy and... More

We loved Waiheke Island and Iluka B&B was a great place to stay. Kathy and John are such great hosts and it was obvious that they would do almost anything to make our stay pleasant. We had fruit waiting for us and a card expressing wishes for our birthday celebration. The breakfasts were absolutely wonderful! Kathy even shared a recipe.... More

Kathy and John are wonderful. Their personal attention was over the top. Breakfasts were large and extremely tasty. We felt at home in their home, and were given the privacy we needed.

Sitting room, extra bedroom, comfy room for us and private bathroom. We had champagne waiting for us, cupboard with tea, coffee, cookies. TV with... More

I found the rooms to be quite well-supplied with tea, coffee, ironing board, soap, towels etc. The bed was quite comfortable. However, the rooms are basically nicely-decorated spare rooms in the owners' (Kathy and John) house (they appear to use the cupboards for storage) which changed the feel of it. The rooms are quite comfortable though. The patio overlooks a... More

We have just spent a lovely few days at the Iluka B&B on Waiheke Island. The hosts, Kathy and John, could not be more welcoming or accommodating. The rooms were comfortable and quiet; perfect for recovering from a flight from the UK. Kathy has a great attention for detail and the rooms contained pretty much everything we needed. The rooms...
