Barn holiday rentals in Hauraki Gulf / Tīkapa Moana

If you want a truly peaceful, rejuvenating escape in a beautiful serene location - highly recommend Susans place. Its rustuc, kitchy, full of personality and a great respite from city life. Susan is accomodating, friendly and lets you enjoy the pond and scenery in peace. Added bonus was no cell service at the Barn so we could switch off from the world - however Wifi at Susans house was accessible whenever we wanted (which wasnt that often) and we loved being off the grid for our 3 days. Thank you Susan and Sasha it was such a delight! x

This location is wonderful. My family love that farm. My kids enjoyed tranporin. Blueberry ice cream was so tasty. And Sue is very kind and friendly,

Beautiful barn style, accommodates three families easily all with their own bathroom! The line is very luxurious and beds comfy Communication was quick and efficient at very late notice. The place did have a few cobwebs and dust from the road but I think that comes hand and hand with being out in the countryside. Stunning garden outlook to sit and have your morning coffee. We throughly enjoyed our stay and would recommend to other families or larger groups with all amenities supplied and a short drive to Te Arai beach. Thank you!

What an amazingly hand crafted house this is!! Jen greeted us so warmly and gave us a wonderful run down of the features and history of the barn. We were really inspired by Dowie and Jen’s creativity and self-sufficiency. Jen’s suggestion to check out a local private hot mineral pool was SO GOOD!! Our family loved the experience of spending time in a naturally heated pool with revitalising minerals. A truly unique experience staying here and a great location to visit Hobbiton!

As always, we had a lovely stay at Rory's place. It's spacious, clean, and has everything you need. It's a great place to stay with kids, and they loved feeding the animals! Thank you for letting us stay in your place, we had a great time!

Such a wonderful stay. Only negative is that we couldn’t stay longer! If you’re looking for a home stay away from home, this is your place! We felt like we had checked into an old friend’s place. It’s a lovely home on a gorgeous setting. It ended up raining but Jen was so clever and gave us some alternative ideas which were amazingly fun (and we would never have found them if it hadn’t been for her suggestion). This is a hidden gem for sure!!

We (myself, hubby, 11 year old) wanted a beautiful, peaceful spot that we could relax in and Deb's place really delivered. We loved the countryside setting that was so quiet, the cosy comfy beds, the fully equipped kitchen and the games room - we spent many happy hours playing pool! The location was fantastic, rural yet so close to Matakana. Deb and Anto were great hosts, very responsive. Highly recommend.

Woolshed stay exactly what we had anticipated and has all needs and close to get out fishing thanks again

How an airbnb should be. Anna & Brian have created such a welcoming, peaceful oasis with all of the personal touches that make staying here so wonderful. A short drive from Auckland and you feel you're in the middle of nowhere (in the best way). A bottle of wine, homemade cake & bread, breakfast provisions (so many eggs we couldn't finish them all) topped off with a well kept tennis court, pool & spa - in a gorgeous apartment-like setting, we couldn't have asked for more. A great place to stay.

The accommodation was beautiful & had a unique layout which we loved. It was a lovely weekend out of the city to enjoy the beaches with my husband & dog. The place had everything we needed & was close to all the spots we wanted to visit ☺️ the info & recommendations were great from the host!
