Renta de alojamientos vacacionales con área de asientos al aire libre en Great Barrier Island / Aotea

Very cozy and well appointed. View was spectacular and the local bunnies and birds were fun to watch. A 4x4 vehicle is a must to access the house, and the driveway is not for the faint of heart! But well worth it for the privacy, beauty and comfort of the stay! Would definitely return!,

A beautiful spot on a beautiful island. Although I explored the island and did a bunch of activities, I also just sat around for hours to enjoy the view and watch the stars. Hilde is a wonderful host and gave me many recommendations, and saved me by lending me a cap for my hikes in the sun.

Quite comfortable & glad of all the blankets as it got chilly at night, Unique and special setting close to the beach. We had a romantic time!

Uns hat es in Colville sehr gut gefallen. Dort ist richt Idylle. Außen herum sind viele Wiesen mit Kühen und anderen Tieren.

As a group of 8 people we had a great time during summer here. The hosts were of great help when we had some “parking issues” with our trailer - they organized someone to pull us out of a ditch ;-) and that truly saved our vacation. That was amazing. Whatever was missing was quickly organized. Unfortunately an all-year fire ban on GBI meant we were not allowed to use the outdoor fire place, and since the nights get cold quickly we were looking forward to sitting in front of the outdoor fireplace in the evenings, which obviously did not happen. Also, the utility of the massive balcony is close to nil - it was either burning hot or freezing cold out there. In that regard, if you look at this place, consider that what you get is somewhat less than what you might expect from the pictures alone. Despite these drawbacks we would love to come back any time.

Great stay at James house. Beautiful view. Plenty of sleeping arrangements.

A beautiful slice of paradise. I loved the abundant birdlife, native bush, spacious accommodation and home cooking. Thanks Baerbel.

Nicole’s place is a fabulous wee spot. We loved the visits by native birds and the wonderful vista from the deck. And the peaceful atmosphere. We would happily go back.
