Shearers Quarters Mabey's Beach

RossRating, 5 stars14 months ago

An incredible location teaming with life and beauty. Scott and Isabel are lovely responsive hosts that also leave you alone to soak up the tranquility, if that is what you are after. It's remote and rustic - but that is exactly what we desired.

'Kiwi As' cosy family Bach

DianneRating, 5 stars1 day ago

Lovely cosy cottage. The fire place warmed the house very quickly and was great to sit beside and read on one particularly wet morning. Perfect place for our stay. Thank you.

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.

The Patch, surf, fish & dive cabin on Barrier.

NicoleRating, 5 stars6 months ago

Perfect remote beach glamping getaway! The property has privacy while still being easy to access. Beautiful beaches right out the front gate. Starlink wifi allowed us to work remotely with ease. When we had an issue with the power on the first day, response was quick and in person to fix issue and come up with alternatives if needed. Went to sleep each night after enjoying unobstructed views of stars and woke in the morning to the sounds of birds and waves. Driving to restaurants on the island allowed us to explore more of the island. Enjoyed our time so much we extended by a night! Highly recommend!

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

Koru cottage Medlands Beach, Great Barrier Island

JeremyRating, 5 stars7 months ago

We had a great weekend at Koru Cottage. The master bedroom has beautiful views out to the surrounding bush. Opening up all the doors of the cottage during a sunny day was fantastic. The kitchen was well stocked with basic cooking supplies, utensils, crockery, etc. The outdoor shower and toilet took a bit of getting used to, but was a great novelty for the kids. Kids are well catered for with toys, books and cosy beds. It's a steep (and only partially paved) walk up from the carpark at the camping ground, but the view is great and it doesn't take long until you're up at the cottage. Shane also organised a car for us on the cottage side of the creek, which was really helpful for tired little legs after a big day of exploring the island. We'd recommend this place for couples or families with small children. A great base while on the island.
