1 Bedroom Apartment in Great Barrier Island, Tryphena

“2013 Gold Winner Golden Piwa" BEST IN ECO-FRIENDLY!
It's blissful! A relaxing adventure!
Are you looking for peace, quiet and solitude? This light and modern apartment on Aotea Great Barrier Island in the winterless north of Aotearoa New Zealand provides just that. Is also has sweeping 270° degree panoramic views over the Hauraki Gulf.
Walk in and become part of the view. Take a seat on the comfy couch or a deck chair and gaze at the ever-changing views over the water. Then step off the veranda, follow a short track and sit down on a rock to absorb the view over the water, only a hundred meters below. Hear the waves break on the rocks and look out for whales, dolphins, or even sting- or manta rays.*
The apartment is self-contained with its own entrance and hallway. It is attached to our home, from where we, if required, can assist with tips on things to do on island, and solar and firewood systems.
While there is no promises, we often see dolphins, whales working schools of fish, gannets graciously gliding past at eye-height and cray fisherman checking their pots.
So while you settle in, you may occasionally have to check that your book is still in your lap and that your drink is still at hand, but you may completely forget about them, too.
Once you're totally relaxed, explore the island, or have a splash in the shared unheated swimming pool with views in summer.
This remote 4WD location is perfect for a honeymoon! Don't forget to ask about our Good Heavens stargazing special for couples!
The 80m2 apartment is spacious and has one master bedroom with ensuite and a walk in wardrobe to store your gear.
Book an extra few days if you are in doubt.. Most of our guests say they are sorry they didn't stay for longer. On top of the cliff, you're just a world away.
4WD access only! Bring your own 4WD car on the ferry or rent one through Claris rentals.
Travel to the Barrier by sea on the Sealink ferry, or fly with Barrier Air or Island Air.
There is an extra queen bedroom available. Extra guests must be booked in advance and are subject to availability.
Special conditions:
This clifftop apartment has has amazing views but is not necessarily suitable for toddlers. They are welcome with tight supervision.
Our alternative power system is sturdy but cannot cope with an overload. Electric appliances creating heat (hairdryers, -straighteners, toasters, rice cookers, etc.) can kill our batteries. Please leave them at home. Phone chargers, etc. are fine.
Please leave the property as you found it or pay $100 extra for cleaning.
Please ask about a Good Heavens Private Dark Sky Experience on site, or a Dark Sky Group Experience at Medlands.

Summary: Absolutely loved our stay. I've been all over the world and have never experienced this level of tranquility. The property has amazing views, is comfortably equipped, and makes you feel like you are at the ends of the earth. Yoga on the deck was amazing, Hilde was a perfect host, and we'll tell all our friends they must stay at X Spot on Great Barrier. A place unlike any other!
