Our hosts, Sharon and Peter were extremely thorough from our first point of contact. Their attention to detail shines through from beginning to end, their communication, the finish in the apartment, the facilities and their willingness to assist us during our stay was exemplary. Small live floral arrangements were tied together and placed in each room adding a warm, welcoming touch. There was a separate transit lounge which contained a fridge, books and a pleasant sitting area and beside this was a laundry with washing machine, dryer and clothes line. We had everything we could possibly need. There was a BBQ and sufficient wood to cook the heartiest of meals. The location is a short walk to Blinky's Beach on one side of the Island and The Lagoon to watch any spectacular sunset. It's only a short walk to the beginning of all the Central Island walking tracks. We loved staying in Waimarie Apartments and would definitely stay there again. A little piece of paradise, just outside Lord Howe's CBD. If I had to say something I liked least, it was there wasn't an electric blanket on the bed when we stayed there.... and I was warm enough.

Waimarie overlooks the airport, In most parts of the world this would be a negative but like on Fantasy Island "The plane, The plane" is an event rather than an inconvenience. We could not land and went back to Sydney but when we returned we were able to stay longer in Paradise. And a pleasant surprise it was. Its our 8th time on LHI over 40 years but first at Waimarie on a spur of the moment decision to revisit the island. We had been told it had been recently refurbished and what a tasteful job our hosts, Sharon & Peter, have done. Most LHI accommodation are bed sit style but Waimarie consists of 2 one bed cottages (one party wall), a beautiful, well appointed bathroom top quality soaps and shampoos, King size bedroom with quality bed linen and towells and a good sized lounge/kitchen with all amenities and good plunger coffee. The deck and bedroom have a water view filtered by Kentia palms, a native of the island. Accommodation with water views are quite rare on LHI and the covered balcony is very pleasant to sit on even on rainy days. The provision of a transit room is also a rare plus when late checkout is not possible. It is comfortable and has a coffee & tea making facilities, wifi and best of all a phone (no mobile phones by plebisite of the citizens).
Waimarie is located halfway between Blinky's beach (ocean) & the Lagoon, a bit out the way of the village centre but the island is small and bike riding the main transport easily gets you to most places you want to go in a 10 minute ride. There is a little known tiny beach on the lagoon at the end of the runway fence which is a 2 minute ride from your cottage which was our private retreat. No accommodation on LHI is cheap but Waimarie is better value than most. Finally Sharon and Peter are lovely people who are there, just a 2 minute walk across a scenic little bridge, if you need them including car transport if your weary legs require it. We are saving our pennies to go back.

For 30 years we have stayed at other places on LHI but Waimarie has by far been the best. The beautiful one bedroom apartment in a quiet haven with a view to treasure is an absolute must.
We almost hesitatingly write the review as want to keep the idealic southern part of the island a secret.
Sharon’s warmth, clear communication, strong organisational skills and attention to detail is inspiring. The apartment was amazingly clean and filled with treats that constantly lured our senses.
All the extras at Waimarie go beyond comfort and the luxury provided by Sharon and Peter is unmatchable.
We have rebooked two apartments for a fortnight and are already wondering how we can return even earlier...
We are filled with gratitude for the generosity of our hosts and for the glorious break away at the beloved five star Waimarie!

My husband and I recently spent our babymoon in Lord Howe Island, and we stayed 4 nights with Waimarie, it was the best decision we made. Sharon and Peter are such lovely couple, they took really good care of us, always made sure we had everything we need, drove us around, and told us a lot about this lovely island!
The apartment/room is super cozy, clean, and new (they only just renovated the entire place last year), the view from the apartment is amazing. What we also liked about Waimarie is its location, it's in the middle of the island, so it's easy for you to go both south or north side of the town.
For this trip, we also stayed with one of the best resorts on the island: Arajilla, who is way more expensive than Waimarie, but we were way more happier with Waimarie! We will certainly stay with Waimarie again when we are going back to LHI next time!!

It was our second time to Lord Howe Island. This time we stayed at the best place ever this beautiful Island has to offer. The self-contained apartments are newly refurbished. The most comfortable and tasteful interior leaves nothing to be desired. There is stunning ocean view from the bedroom and living area with a lovely convenient veranda overlooking the lagoon. In comparisson, most other accomodations on the Island are nestled between palms and trees not offering a view at all. At Waimarie there is a one million dollar view towards Mount Gower and Mount Lidgbird from the front garden/barbecue area inclusive for great price performance ratio. The view is just magnificent. The location in the middle of the Island is just great to explore the North and South part equally. On arrival fresh organic eggs, bread, home made cake, coffee and french sparkling wine are offered. There is fast WiFi access and for chilli winter evenings electrical heating system is offered. We stayed at Waimarie for 12 days and Sharon was very kind and accomodating. Sharon made us feel like home away from home. We could not have asked for a lovelier host and Sharon for sure has her heart in the right place. We love to come back again to this wonderful Island to stay at Waimarie again. Thank you mostly Sharon.
