Great Barrier Island Beach property

LynneRating, 5 stars1 month ago

We loved our stay after being recommended by friends. We also had perfect weather which helped as it was autumn and we enjoyed the luxury of an excellent fire every night. And there was plenty of dry firewood available. We particularly enjoyed the rural, bucolic setting with sheep around the house but also the proximity and views of the private beach. An amazing setting.

Very clean for a pet allowed place. A very comfortable, quiet and safe place to stay. Equipped with whatever a guest may need. We were tempted to expand our leaves and stay more. Extremely recommended! Thanks for the great experience.

Otama Oceanview

CathieRating, 5 stars2 months ago

Great bach with lots of space, worked for our family group perfectly (including our two dogs - really appreciate you being pet friendly). Liked that the kitchen/lounge area was upstairs to take advantage of the view. Loved the window seat and the outdoor shower was very handy after being at the beach. Proximity to the beach was great too. Responsive comms throughout with the host. Otama Bay is such a special place, we all enjoyed our stay. Thank you!

Bonnydoon - Luxury on the Waterfront

Becks & GaryRating, 5 stars1 month ago

What an absolute gem of a place! Looked even better than the pictures. Jo and Pete were very welcoming hosts. The house is well located with the ferry being just down the road and a handful of eating options within a five minute drive in Tryphena. The linen, the bed, the pillows, the amenities were all fantastic. The house is so incredibly well set up and you don't want for anything. Great fully functioning kitchen had everything you need to cook a meal. It's perfect for two couples, as you each get one of the house with a beautiful shared living space in between. We loved our stay here and would 100% recommend this magical spot and will hopefully return one day soon. The views are obviously amazing... glorious sunsets, but if you don't like to wake up with the sun, maybe bring an sleep mask, as the blinds provide shade only. But we didn't mind that at all. In fact, I rather liked it a lot. Not an ounce of day was wasted. I wish all Airbnb's were this awesome.

A simple, one-story family Bach is presented, featuring a light green exterior with multiple windows. An entrance porch is accessible, and the structure is surrounded by grassy areas and low foliage. A ladder and a yellow container are visible on the deck.

Kaitoke Beach bach. Newly renovated :)

SimonRating, 5 stars6 months ago

Barrier Island is all about location, location, location and Jo's place certainly has that. The place is at one with the off grid culture that makes the island so special. Jo was one of the more attentive hosts I have ever encountered and went the extra mile on every occasion.

Medlands Bach

JulienneRating, 5 stars3 months ago

We have stayed here before, and would stay here again. Didn’t do any cooking so can’t comment on that but the kitchen looked full of everything you would need. Loved the house design, living area doors open onto lawn where we spent most of our time gazing at the bird life - so many birds! Two minute walk down to the beach, and the night sky is just spectacular. Great weekend
