We had a great time in this property. We loved the bush setting, birds and the beautiful view. Our host has a great communication and thoughtfully prepared the house for a pleasant stay. We loved that each of us had own comfortable bed and a private corner in the house. We would love to come back again!

House in the trees

We enjoyed finally arriving after some wild weather to spend some chilled out time on Great Barrier. House was well laid out for guests and a good gas heater meant visiting in the winter was comfortable in the evenings.

A beautiful spot!

A fantastic location and setting, set in regenerating bush surrounded by tall Kanuka trees with a view down to the ocean. The area was full of Kaka, Kereru and Kingfisher to name a few. The Kaka were often within metres of the deck in the bush, a rare and wonderful sight! The house was relatively basic, but everything you needed. Close to the beach, store and ferry! Overall, we loved our stay and the island and would definitely reccomend it!

Looking out over the bay.

A wonderful locations snuggled in bush. There is a moderately steep climb up to the house. Pretty well everything you need. It is a short walk to the store, pub and social club. One thing to watch for in winter when the days are short, there is limited sunlight on the solar panels and the hot water bottles are essential.

The green retreat

The property itself is nice but unfortunately there was no running water and no gas on the heater. Had these two thing been functioning or had we known we needed to bring our own water our stay would have been much nicer.

We loved the Green Retreat

A very short walk from the road carpark to the lovely 'kiwi cozy' pole house. Comfortable and cozy, with beautiful views through the trees to the sea. Easy to walk to the pub & shop at Tryphena for anyone with basic fitness. Stairs up to house and inside would make it tricky for anyone with mobility issues and probably not the best for toddlers! But we loved it.

Great view

Northwest facing - sun from 9ish in summer. Shady bush surrounding the house - good in summer sun. Good space - roomy for a couple, lovely balcony. View to bay and beach -nice sound of the sea. Some doors need work. Pathway needs attention.

Quirky hideaway

We knew it was hard to find, so parked the car and walked until we found the small " Green retreat" sign. The fit and sure footed are fine on the entrance walk. The solar power instructions were clear. The cleaner could surely look and sweep under the beds occasionally.

Escape

This property is a pole house on the side of a hill. The downside of this is a narrow steep path and 12 quite steep stairs to enter the house. The upside is fabulous views and privacy with an abundance of noisy birds. The main bed is super comfy with crisp sheets and a snuggly duvet. Plenty of kitchen stuff available and a barbecue. We found the gas a bit slower than we are used to and would probably struggle to organise a meal but we merely snacked at our batch and mostly ate out. This is an off the grid island operating on rain water collection and solar and we loved it!!

Living in the Bush

The property is well furnished and like living in the bush. Property is clean. The only issue is the bedside electric plug is not working and only one ladle spoon in the kitchen.
