Vacation rentals with a fireplace in Great Barrier Island / Aotea

Our family really loved our stay here, it was so peaceful and quiet… the house has homey feel and a hour drive from the beautiful beaches, we loved that the cows were right outside our fence, lots to enjoy! Thank you !

Our stay at Orla’s property was an absolute treat. The lodge is beautifully situated amongst the privacy of lush trees and shrubs, a few minutes walk from a stunning beach, local store that sells a great range of groceries for your stay, and the fabulous Currach Pub. It is stylishly and comfortably furnished, and Orla was the perfect host, welcoming us and giving lots of advice and local information for our stay. Highly recommended!

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.

Awesome place to stay. Definitely will stay there again.

The house is very comfortable and has everything you need for a beach holiday. We loved the location because of its proximity to the beach and Claris. We would definitely recommend this house although we did think it was a little expensive. Loretta was very easy to deal with.

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

We absolutely loved this beautiful historic home and immediately felt relaxed and comfortable. The staff were extremely discreet but available if sought out. We were impressed with the access to chickens and consequent fresh eggs, and small vegetable garden. On arrival the home had every set of French doors thrown open. It was airy inviting and thoroughly enjoyed throughout our stay. The Fitzroy Port area is a little remote from the busier Southern part of the Island but with a rental vehicle this was not a problem,. and there are a number of walks available within the area to not require a vehicle should one use not to hire one. Food is expensive on Great Barrier and it is recommended to stock up and take supplies in a chilli bin with you. There is a store on the Fitzroy wharf which is well stocked however, should you run out of your supplies. The property also has a jetty of its own and can be booked and used to moor your boat should you arrive by sea.

This is the perfect place to come relax and after a day of exploring the magical Island. The home had everything that we needed and we really appreciated the well stocked kitchen and the comfy beds. The sunsets are spectacular and so are the stars at night. Truly such a special home. Thanks so much for having us.
