Barrier Bungalow |
The perfect spot for a family
holiday or a getaway weekend. A two bedroom bungalow at Kaitoke. Walk out
the front door and you are just a couple of minutes away from a beautiful white
sandy beach.

We found the
Barrier Bungalow to be in a perfect location for access to
Claris shops and airport with the beautiful Kaitoke beach only
three minutes’ walk away. Carol & Richard, January 2012
We had one of our most enjoyable holidays, despite the westerlies. The hot pools were a highlight. We did lots of short walks with the kids. Long beautiful beaches with no one around. Spent some time at Claris Texas and the Irish pub in Tryphena. The bach was very good for our purposes. Clean and simple with a nice fire. We hope to make it back soon in a warmer part of the year. I would like to get out and try some fishing. Sarah particularly wants me to thank you for your organisation. We found it quite funny that we had been trying to book a holiday in the Pacific Islands without any satisfactory help from travel agents. Then, when we enquired about the bach, everything for our GBI trip was unexpectedly organised with no fuss at all. Simon & Sarah, September 2011
We had a very
enjoyable stay . Great Barrier was stunning, and the house was
very warm and comfortable. The local plumber and his wife were
extremely generous and kind-- our rental car broke down, so they
loaned us their car for the night, without even knowing who we
were. I couldn't imagine that happening anywhere else. We
did have a problem getting the fire going but the woman who came
to help was very helpful and pleasant.

We absolutely loved the Barrier 100%. There wasn’t a road that we didn't travel down, we explored the whole island as much as we could, walked tracks, surf-casted off the beaches/rocks, swam, soaked in the hot springs, awesome holiday and would definitely return. DOC has done an excellent job with the tracks and facilities all around the island, we were more than impressed. The scenery is absolutely stunning and the bird life and the native bush is so much better than on the mainland, so unspoiled. The locals that we met were extremely friendly and the Barrier Bungalow that we stayed in was perfect and in the best location (for us anyway) on the island. Kaitoke beach was soooooo lovely, the isolation of not hardly having anyone else on the beach was very special. I hope that it never changes, the island is a real treasure. Robyn & Dave Jan 2010
An amazing 2 days on the island. Everything was great and very well organized. Trying to talk a few friends into doing the same thing. Great flights with great pilots. Wished we’d had a few more days to do a bit of tramping but maybe next time. Thanks again for a wonderful couple of days. Marilyn and Jim, Aug 09
"The bungalow was in the perfect location
enabling us to do everything we wanted to on the island. The facilities
were modern, clean and tidy - we definitely hope to book the bungalow again
in the future."

"We have had a
wonderful time on the Barrier. The bungalow was absolutely suitable for us
(parents + grandparents + 1 child). Lovely location so close to the airport,
general store and the beach and both beach and bungalow are very safe for my
little boy to run & play around. The bungalow is very well equipped with all you
need for running a household. Fire place works really efficiently (Saturday
evening was a bit chilli). In summary, this 4-day holiday package was very
well organised and excellent value for money. We will highly recommend this
place". "A
great location which is within walking distance to shops. Superb backyard for
cricket and other activities and a sunny deck which is very private. A short
walk through the dunes to the water at Kaitoke Beach. Excellent facilities for
the family. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will be back". |
