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 stars6 days 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.

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

Motu Honey House

NicoleRating, 5 stars4 months ago

What a kind, generous man in a fantastic place. Alan was such a wonderful host, nothing was too much trouble. Staying at his house is a rare opportunity to experience the true Barrier spirit. From the first moment of contacting Alan to the moment we left we could not have asked for more.
