About Rebekah Walton
We are two fun and hardworking Kiwi families who love the beauty and laidback vibe of Waiheke, where you can escape your routine and chill with time to read, think and reconnect.
Rebekah Walton purchased this Guest House in 2016
Why Rebekah Walton chose Palm Beach
We chose the name Te Ihi, which in the Maori language means life energy or excitement, because we always feel recharged and reconnected after spending time on Waiheke.
What makes this Guest House unique
Te Ihi Palm Beach is brand new and was designed specifically as a holiday apartment with you in mind. It has been set up to boutique hotel standard, with all the equipment and style required for you to have a delightful stay on Waiheke, including soaps and hair care bottles by Ritual Aotearoa .

Relaxation with a view.
Everything worked out as was explained. Anything needed was there. Comfortable and modern
Hard to beat property
Great spot with excellent views. Handy to everything you would want to do on the Island
Nice and new with very little to bring with you
We definitely will stay here the next time we come as great place for great price
Lovely weekend stay
Great apartment for a weekend getaway , even in the winter with bad weather. Lovely and warm, barely needed the heater at all. Spotless, everything you needed and impeccably furnished. Even managed a walk to the beach (10min) between rain showers. Enjoyed the views ++ , will come again soon!
Beautiful Palm Beach Bach
This is the best Bach I have stayed in on the island. It's absolutely delightful - stunning views, beautifully appointed, comfy beds, warm and incredibly clean. Easy walk to beach and shops. The property manager was so accommodating when we had to adjust the dates because of an unexpected sadness. Thank you so much for a lovely relaxing stay. We will be back, Suzanne
Stunning view, very modern apartment.
We absolutely loved this apartment, views were amazing. Very nice facilities, comfortable beds. We had everything we needed. We will be back!
Wonderful weekend on the island!
The property is well appointed, extremely clean and the views can’t be beat. If I could live and work on Waiheke, it would be at this apartment. We really enjoyed walking down the hill to the beach and having brunch at Arcadia. Only precaution - the hosts are not kidding when they say make sure everything is closed at night - the mosquitos are no joke! ;)
Location
Waiheke has over 20 vineyards, with accompanying restaurants and/or tasting rooms. Our favorites include:
Man O War Vineyards is worth the drive, being beach side it is beautiful, relaxing Kiwi style, with a colonial style tasting room and shared platters available and picnic tables on the grass lawn. The perfect place to while away an afternoon and also see Stony Batter on route.
Poderi Crisci set in the Awaawaroa valley has stunning wines (some say the best on Waiheke Island), who grow their own vegetables for the award winning Italian restaurant. Aucklanders choose Poderi Crisci to celebrate special occasions. The Sunday Long Lunch is renowned for which bookings must be made, set aside four hours and enjoy!
Cable Bay Vineyard is in Oneroa and has a laidback vibe with bean bags and a outdoor bar, with the finer dining restaurant alongside, all facing stunning views back to Auckland City.
Mudbrick Vineyard and restaurant in Oneroa stunning views and fine dining food in a beautiful setting. Its Archive Bar and Bistro has a more casual experience.
Casita Miro in Onetangi was voted best destination restaurant in Auckland 2018. Specializing in Spanish cuisine, set in a very pretty building. 8 minutes drive from our place.
Stoney Ridge on Onetangi Road is famous for its wines and is conveniently next to Wild on Waiheke that has archery, claybird shooting, wildtag, petanque etc. It has a café and wine tasting set in olive groves.
