Belle Terrace is a one way street that you join at the top of Waiheke Road and it sweeps back down. As you drive down Belle Terrace you will see the property standing proud up on the left hand side. The driveway entrance is on the left. There is a wooden sign with WAIHEKE BELLE no 42 immediately before the driveway. Take this driveway up to the top.

(if arriving by taxi – please make sure you make the driver aware that there is turning room at the top and although it is steep, it is a new concrete drive) Please do be careful when driving back down onto the road, as the space at the bottom of the drive is quite tight to manoeuvre and Belle Terrace is a one way street.
