A great property on the Claris side of the island. For those new to Great Barrier - it’s useful to know this is super close to the airport. There’s a walkable dairy and breakfast cafe, however the only pubs are on the other side of the island. Highly recommend renting a car, we needed it!
This place has an awesome outdoor spa pool (if using it, light the fire in advance - it takes a couple of hours to heat up). It was the perfect thing to do after a full day of hiking.
The house is very spacious and the bed we stayed in was comfortable. The house is solar powered so expect power to occasionally stop when it gets dark - there is a generator outside though, if you need it back. If you haven’t read up on Great Barrier, don’t forget you can’t use a hair dryer or electric kettle. This place had an awesome gas stove and a stove top kettle. Fully stocked kitchen with all the stuff you need to do some cooking (except the ingredients of course!). There’s a BBQ outside too, and we really liked that the speakers in the lounge were wired to outside too. The local radio station is super great.
This would be a fantastic place for a group of friends to go together, but it was great for just a couple too. And we had 4G internet/reception on 2Degrees (much of the island is no reception), as well as WiFi. Enjoy!
