After dark:

Great Barrier is a certified Dark Sky Sanctuary. Step outside and the Milky Way stretches horizon to horizon. The native Ruru (Morepork) owls are regular visitors at dusk — watch them catch green Pūriri moths right from the front deck.

One of three private homes at 175° East, each secluded in native bush.
