In the middle of nowhere but perfect for what we needed for a chilled night before the final Lions test.

Take the opportunity to do a horse trek while staying there, riding in such a stunning setting. The bush cabin provided a cosy base to play cards at night and read.

This place is absolutely incredible! The photos do not give it justice unless you are actually in the location itself! Blown away that we booked an extra night! We walked up sugar loaf mountain and the view from up there was out of this world! Our car broke down in the morning and Belinda got her brother to help us!! Thank you for such a beautiful experience! Will stay again one day!!

Matt was very helpful at every step, giving clear and up to date instructions and advice. The place is a great escape from it all, back to nature with the birds and bees, and wide starry skies! We would go back in a heartbeat.

Wonderful escape in the Coromandel

We had the best experience staying at Waiaro. Matt was so helpful, he gave us so much information both before and during our trip. The bach was the most peaceful spot ever, was in great condition, just like described here. Communication with him was easy, instant and friendly. The location of the bach is perfect for those wanting to get away from their busy lives and just unwind. Fantastic spot for kids who just loved exploring the stream, running around the wide open space around the house, building dams, watching the eels, finding the best swimming holes etc. Our kids asked us if we could buy the house, they loved it that much! The outdoor bath was great and fitted all 5 of us :-) (ok, barely any water left in it when we got out, but still...). We will definitely be back and can only recommend staying here. We have made unforgettable memories for our family. Thanks Matt!

Loved, loved, loved our stay here. The location was spectacular and we loved the seclusion. Matt was a fabulous host and very attentive to making sure we had all the info we needed before our arrival. The house was well cared for and we had everything we needed for our stay. We didn't get to meet Kelvin, but Allen, who also lives down the road was super sweet and helpful to us during our stay.

very secluded at the end of a dirt road in a nature preserve. your own valley with a creek and woods and fields and lawns.

Stunning place to relax & enjoy the quiet & birdsong. Such a lovely place to relax and the bath was divine!

This is a bloody gem of a place. The house is completely off-grid, but doesn't suffer for that in the slightest. This place is about as far off the beaten path as it's possible to get with a vehicle and is a great place to go for a few days with the kids. The property has a secluded hammock, a creek, a swing and a few games to amuse the kids. If only it were a little closer to where I live, I'd be here quite often.

Great place to stay in the harbour. Lovely views! Agnes was great to deal with. Place was pretty much as expected and well shown in photos.

Agnes was a fantastic host, and made herself available whenever needed. Would recommend to anyone wanting to get away and have a relaxing weekend.

Agnes is the best host ever!!! The house is absolutely fantastic, very clean, and it brings all the comfort you need with a wonderful view on the bay from the deck. We couldn't ask for a better location either, very quiet, peaceful and authentic! Agnes went above and beyond, and offered us to use her sea kayaks in the bay, which we did at sunrise to visit the former whaling station across the bay. There's a bunch of walks around and the village is easily accessible by car. We really enjoyed our stay and we highly recommend this place to anyone wanting to explore Great Barrier Island. Thanks again Agnes!

We had the best week ever. Agnes and Rob were great hosts and made sure we had everything we could have wished for. We spent the week kayaking, paddleboarding, fishing, hiking and exploring. The accommodation was in a great location and we found the island a friendly and exciting place to holiday.

Couldnt be more helpful

Agnes was the most wonderful at accommodating us on short notice. She was lightning fast at responding to our inquiry and on top of that was extremely flexible with our check in times. Upon meeting Agnes we were blown away by her warmth and friendly demeanor. She felt like an old friend and made us feel instantly at ease and at home in Whareana. The accommodation was simple, but had everything we needed and the view from the balcony was all kinds of spectacular. We are so happy we got to experience this magical little pocket and get a feel for what the locals are fortunate enough to experience everyday. Thanks for everything Agnes! We will be back, and we will be trying the SUP too.

This was a great wee bach- a perfect example of a kiwi hideaway! Very clean and everything we needed was there Easy communication from start to finish. Would suggest hiring a 4x4 if you wanted to stay here as the road is unsurfaced. Easy to drive but would be hard on a normal car! Would happily stay here again.

Agnes was amazing. She went above and beyond to make our stay in Whangaparapara memorable. We had a great morning exploring the harbour by paddle board. Many walking tracks were close by and accessible by car. The beaches were amazing as was the fishing. And a must do activity is the Hot Springs. The accommodation was basic but comfortable and in a beautiful location.

Beautiful property.

Stunning farm view. Large room space. Quick check-in.

We were injoed stay in the house.

The stay and house itself were great. Very nice country feel with cows right outside. Beautiful porch views and the stars at night were SPECTACULAR. Didn't have the time to take advantage of any of the hikes, they were all very long. There was little instructions given when it came to check-in and no directions at all for checking out. But they are very friendly and answer any questions you have, you just have to reach out. Would definitely recommend this place; especially because of the price!

Beautiful place to stay! It felt like a home away from home. Very clean and comfortable. We will be back!

Stay in a farm, near cows, sheeps and dogs, loved it. A lot of space, very good for family holidays, especially with children.

Amazing, no words to describe. Good place, amazing view, hot water, good beds.... in summary, very nice and friendly place!!! My friends loved!!!

Very comfy accommodations & amazing beauty surrounding the ranch. So nice that Tellic was able to offer us fresh eggs. Delicious!! Had such an amazing time exploring the Coromandel Peninsula. Thank you for your hospitality!!

If you're looking to really get away from it all, Barbel's place is perfect. It truly is nestled in the bush, where you can sit on the private deck and enjoy the birds. It's a really comfortable space and incredibly peaceful. There's no light pollution, so the stars are something else! Also, the beach is beautiful and not crowded at all. We hope to be back.

Beautiful and well equipped guesthouse in a very peaceful location!

Beautiful, quirky, peaceful. A lovely remote cottage and a friendly host.

Had a lovely, comfortable stay in this unique and tidy home. The house was really clean. I definitely come back. Great value.

We had a magical stay in this paradise. The cottage is so beautiful and so tastefully decorated that we immediately felt at home and relaxed. Barbel was such an excellent host, she was helpful, friendly, open and everything we could ever need was provided. I especially loved the extras such as - freshly ground coffee and plunger, a great selection of spices, oats, flour and sugar.....overall a beautiful place to visit and stay...quiet, magnificent views and the stunning Waikawau Beach 5 mins away.

Barbel's cabin and the land it is on are magic. Its a few minutes from two amazing beaches. Barbel offered us fresh bread and pesto she had made herself. She also supplied us with fejoas and cheese when our supplies were dwindling. The cabin is brand new and there is much love and attention to detail. Its proportions were perfect for us, a family of three, for indoor/outdoor living. Congrats on making a wonderful restful place to stay Barbel.

What an amazing place. A very beautiful part of New Zealand, truly a slice of paradise. The guesthouse is new and full or sunlight and color. Peaceful. Barbel made me very welcome and is a fantastic cook. The nearby beach is stunning. Highly recommended.

Friendly welcome and nice attention to detail. Croissants and spreads and even a couple of chocolates. The book in the loo was a great touch. Lovely and quiet only the tuis and moreporks breaking the stillness. Would recommend.

Lovely clean and peaceful spot. Nikki and Joel were very easy to communicate with - thanks a lot!

Had a great couple of nights staying here, the apartment was beautiful and location was stunning. We were made to feel very welcome by Nicki and Joel, even a cold beer on arrival!

Very nice independent house, large, clean, private, well equiped, facing the sea. We can't love it more. The landlord Nikki contacted us before we arrive. Thanks!

Nikki's place was lovely. Just the kind of relaxing break we needed at the end of our New Zealand stay. Close to some great beaches! Thanks!

很不错的体验,景色也很好,值得体验。

A great place to explore the peninsula from. A lovely space, nicely decorated and very quiet.

Lovely place and amazing views. Nikki is a lovely host and answered all of our questions for first time north island visitors. Would stay again for sure

This place is a little gem. Views for days and a super comfortable bed. It's up quite a steep driveway so best to book a 4WD but well worth it once you're there! If you're after a quiet, private, restful getaway set in native bush with stunning birdsong - this is the place!

Angela's place is ideal for an Eco getaway to Great Barrier Island. The cosy cabin is perfect for a couple. Nestled in native forest surrounded by tree ferns this elevated section also has wonderful views of the bay. We found it easy enough to walk in to Tryphena to visit the cafes, beach and the great local pub. Angela is such a wonderful host, could not be more helpful in making sure our stay was comfortable and enjoyable. It was paradise for us and exceeded our expectations.

Great spot, beautiful location. Walking distance to pub, steep driveway.

Beautiful tree hut style cabin, just a few minutes from one of the main centers, we loved staying here, an awesome place to relax.

The host canceled this reservation 60 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

We had a lovely stay, the cabin was secluded and peaceful. Angela even left us a bottle of sparkling as it was my husband's birthday. A lovely retreat, but take Angela seriously when she tells you it would be best to hire a 4WD to get up the driveway!

This is a great cabin for a couple to take some time out to unwind with some gorgeous views in a peaceful place, close enough to the local shops and restaurants and beautiful beaches. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would recommend it. Definitely has a steep driveway!

Fantastic cabin. Brilliant views, close walk to local shop, cafe and pub. Cabin was fairly new with a rustic modern style. Hot shower, good bed and friendly neighbours. Excellent!

Awesome, short stay at carols. If we had to stay in the area any longer we would have loved to extend it here. Good quiet location, clean room, hot water. Carol was kind enough to offer us breakfast, too. Thanks!

Very easy to find, lovely and clean, felt very comfortable staying in their home. Nice quiet house. Great Hosts!

Good place to stay. Hosts are really nice and keen on helping with any request. The house/room is clean and confortable. We would recommand it. Enjoy :)

Place is clean tidy and very well presented

Very hospitable hosts. Nice location.

Fantastic spot great hosts an excellent get away. Would definitely recommend it

Lovely place in a peaceful area. Close to the beaches. Awesome hosts, felt very welcome in your home. Thanks!

Carol and Kerry are wonderful hosts. They have a beautiful home in a quiet neighbourhood. Very close to Omaha and Matakana. Comfy bed and even better breakfast in the morning. Would 100% recommend to others.

Lovely host, super view to the ocean and only a short dive to the wonderful shakespeare park! We wished we could have stayed longer.

Joy is a good host. The flat is cozy and clean. We had a great time there. The area is perfect if you like the ocean and good walking around in the nature.

Our stay at Joy's was fantastic. A little flat with private entrance and bathroom. She was very welcoming, would definitely recommend her as a host.

Joy is a wonderful person, she ist very friendly and helpful. The room was clear and with all staff you need. Her house is near a small town, where you can by something to eat or have a nice breakfast with a nice view. 2min from her house is a nice bay to having a picknik. It was i nice time there. :)

Lovely little studio which was perfect for us. Joy was a wonderful host and even dropped us off to the wedding we were attending! Highly recommended!

A cozy place indeed in a beautiful environment adjacent to Shakespear Park where I went for several walks. The 360 degree view from the lookout was breathtaking. One night I went for a movie in central Auckland by bus. I got back in less than two hours! The hosts are very welcoming and kind. Joy took me out watching the feeding of stingrays one afternoon which was great fun.

Joy greeted us and made us feel very welcome. The studio is as described, cosy and comfortable, set in a pretty garden with nice views. We were very happy with the experience and recommend it to anyone wanting an economical and pleasant place to stay.

Excellent location. Hosts were available, but respected our privacy. Look forward to our nest stay

Cute little place with everything you need for a short stay. 1 cooking plate and small fridge if you want to cook yourselves. 20 min drive to Coromandel town if you want a restaurant. Bed needs replacement (very soft, makes a lot of noise and pillows as thin as paper so if you can, bring your own). Nice little beach at 5 min walk to enjoy the amazing sunsets

The cabins are in an absolutely stunning location. The view from the window and balcony to the Amodeo Bay is incredible. We had everything we needed and Chris and Bronnie were helpful in the run up to our stay and while we where there.

What a location, place and host! We had an amazing time and it totally lived up to expectations! Perfect location for a secluded getaway! Chris is lovely and will do everything he can to help. We can't recommend highly enough!

Great place, got upgraded for next to nothing, good location, great views and our two bedroom cottage was very cute

Such a lovely place to chill with amazing views. The host, Chris, very helpful and friendly. We will definitely go back to the house once we visit coromandel.

We had a lovely stay at the Pohutukawa Chalets. The room had everything we needed and a 5 star view of the gorgeous sunset. Recommended!

A small space but very well equiped, comfortable and with stunning views over the water and countryside. A lovely peaceful place. The hosts were very helpful and even thought to give us dinner recommendations for on our way to the accommodation.

Quiet, great view, good price, easy check in/out. Nice little find here!

Richard was very kind and easygoing. Despite not being at home when we arrived, everything was ready for our check-in and we could enter at home. Everything was perfectly explained, he had some maps of the city and touristic stuff, and on top of that some groceries to have breakfast. We enjoyed our conversations with him. Affordable and nice, highly recommended.

The studio was so wonderful, well-equipped with views over bush and a glimpse of the ocean. Comfy bed too!

Richard's spacious attached (SENSITIVE CONTENTS HIDDEN) was perfectly comfortable for our stay. Bus no 1 from the ferry terminal was located right outside the house. We would stay here again. Thanks Richard!

Staying at Richard's place was a wonderful start of my trip in New Zealand! Very nice studio with great views, loved it!

Amazing studio complete with everything you need to adventure around the island. Richard was a great host with lots of suggestions for holiday activities. Great place to stay if you are traveling alone!

Excellent! Richard was fast to respond and very helpful. There's a bus stop just down the street and although it's a residential area, it's still relatively central for seeing Waiheke. Excellent value for money. Highly recommended!

Chambre spacieuse, calme, isolée de l'habitation du propriétaire. Nous avons apprécié de pouvoir laver et sécher notre linge après plusieurs jours de périple.

We loved our stay here! The studio was perfect for our needs - quiet, secluded and well-appointed. Walking tracks and wineries are close by too. Perfect place to stay on Waiheke!

Great stay, when we arrived the fire place was all set. We were very cozy and loved the secluded setting. Would definitely love to stay again and next time would make sure we had time for a horse trek!

Very clean and comfortable but kinda in the middle of nowhere. Managed to get lost on one of the hikes which was super nice but we couldn't find our way back for hours and couldn't get ahold of the host, even afterwards.

The place was quiet, clean. Would recommend!

What an incredible place! X Spot is everything the photos and description promise it to be. Hilde was a wonderful host, ensuring that we felt welcome and well-informed about our stay and the island itself. An absolute gem. We'll definitely be back.

Hilde and her family have made us feel very welcomed on arrival. We were shown around and made aware of some important things to notice. The apartment is as described – stunning. It is modern and has got everything you need for your stay. Hilde – I really like that organic soap you left for us. I found it in the Pottery Shop and got one for us :) Very much recommended!

We had a great time! Very peaceful

We loved this place! The views are incredible, the hosts are lovely and the apartment is beautiful. We saw orcas out in the bay and had amazing views of the stars at night. A 4WD is essential but worth it (especially if you get a bit of rain, like we did).

I had the most amazing stay at Hilde and Roger's place! Communication and directions were great and Hilde was absolutely lovely. The place and the view...incredible. Would highly recommend and would come back in a heartbeat.

Fantastic place with the most incredible view. Great facilities, warm dry and modern. Highly recommend for a secluded getaway

We stayed for three nights at Hildes place and really enjoyed it :). The hole apartment was clean, very comfortable and with an incredible view. Hilde herself is a super-friendly and open minded person, who helped us getting around Barrier Island (recommendations for restaurants, explanations ...). All in all the perfect airbnb experience and I can definitely recommend this wonderful place! :)

Absolutely fantastic apartment with a lovely host and spectacular views. 100% recommend to anyone that wants a secluded and adventurous experience. 5 stars.

I had a wonderful stay at Vicky's house. She couldn't have been more welcoming and interested in making sure I had a good stay and enjoy the best of Great Barrier. It was so relaxed and I felt at home straight away. Two nights felt like a week and left me feeling rested and re-energised. Thank you Vicky.

We can heartily recommend staying with Vicky in her lovely home. Very comfortable with everything you could wish for. We were delighted with the fantastic deck area, even has a hammock. Loved chilling out in the shade on a hot afternoon. A bit remote from local shops and cafes so transport is essential. But if you like the beach life you only have to walk a few steps from the property and you are on to Medlands Beach. One of the best beaches we have ever visited. Lovely walks, fantastic cycling tracks, fishing off the rocks at the end of the Bay, everything to make a wonderful, memorable holiday. Medlands Beach is what it says it is a Beach. No frills, no shops selling buckets and spades, or ice cream, just the most incredible white squeaky sand and surf. Amazing, it truly is.

We had an amazing weekend at Vickys staying on medlands beachfront. A very comfortable homely experience. A warm and wonderful person. Was a pleasure to meet you Vicky, thank you. Trav and Lucy

Marvelous host, lovely peaceful house, with one of the world's best beaches right across the road. Paradise!

Danke Vicky! Für mich war es das beste Ankommen in Neuseeland, was ich mir vorstellen kann. Eines Morgens wurde ich bei meinem Strandspaziergang mit den Worten: 'just another beautiful day in paradise' begrüßt. Und so war es tatsächlich für mich: raus aus dem Bett und in 3min. am Strand, die Füße im Sand, in die Wellen schmeißen und zurück in dein Gartenhäuschen. Alles ganz simpel und schön in den Details - ich habe mich unglaublich wohl und gut aufgehoben gefühlt. Ich wurde am Flughafen abgeholt und zurückgebracht. Es war eine Freude, die Begeisterung von Vicky für ihre Insel so zu spüren und nachempfinden zu können. Ihre vielen Tips von Orten, Wanderungen, Stränden waren ein Geschenk. Zur Krönung habe ich am letzten Tag eines Ihrer Angebote als Nature Therapist wahrgenommen - ein angeleiteter Spaziergang durch die Natur mit Öffnen aller Sinne. Für mich war es ein tiefgreifende Erfahrung, Balsam für die Seele und wirklich einzigartig! Danke von Herzen und die besten Wünsche, Susanne

I often work on Great Barrier but this was the first time I have used airbnb. What a great choice. Vicky made me feel very welcome and nothing was a problem. Even though I was working, I returned home feeling as if I had returned from holiday. Great Barrier is so stress free and the people so friendly it makes you want to stay there forever. Thanks Vicky :)

We had a great stay with Vicky on Great Barrier. We liked the fantastic location best of all, with a stunning beach just outside the front door. Vicki and her home are both warm and welcoming. The bed was huge and super comfortable. Great Barrier is a fantastic place to visit and we like to go when its a bit quieter, outside the high season. At these times it is a little limited in options for food etc so Vicky's advice and tips on where to eat and find things was invaluable. If you like a good burger, try the Burger Shack! Vicky went out of her way to look after us including delicious breakfasts, many cups of tea and chats. We loved staying there and would recommend "The Barrier" and Vicky's place to anyone.

Vicky is a great host, warm, welcoming and caring. The house is comfortable, attractive and clean. Bedroom with king bed homely, sunny and pleasant to be in. Lovely bathroom. The breakfasts were yummy with plenty of options. We enjoyed the organic coffee and gluten free pancakes. The location is fantastic on beautiful Medlands Beach central to the island, with every day swimming and walking, and also convenient to the airport and stores at Claris. Thank you Vicky for a lovely stay!
