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.

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.

"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." Simone, May 09
"We had an
absolute dream holiday, the Bungalow was everything and more than we expected.
The view of the hills was amazing and just a stones throw from the beach. The
package deal was great and made it so much easier for us! As always a magical
time on the Barrier". Zoe, Easter 2009
"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". Simone and family March 2009
"The Barrier Bungalow is great - it is very comfortable, excellently set up and
situated - I come from Devon, UK, have stayed here twice and can't wait to come
again. I would never want to stay anywhere else on the 'island'. Thoroughly
enjoyed our recent trip and will certainly be in contact when we come to NZ
again as Great Barrier Island is a 'must' every time - my little bit of heaven
on earth. Certainly staying at the Bungalow and the flights and rental car made
it perfect." Elizabeth 2009
"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". Keily 2009
"Just had to send you a note to say how much we enjoyed our brief
but extremely pleasurable stay on the Barrier. So much so, we are thinking of
retiring there in the near future". Sharon and Chris 2009
"We had a
wonderful long weekend at the Barrier Bungalow. It is wonderfully close to the
beach, and has a lovely cozy warmth to it. Breakfast on the balcony, enjoying
the view was a highlight. We are now regular visitors to Great Barrier Island".

"We loved our time on Barrier. We loved it so
much we want to come back sometime. We think you should call Barrier Island
'Nearly Fiji'. much closer and more affordable". Kath 2008
