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.

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

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.
