Our home is on Aotea Great Barrier Island, 30 minute flight North of Auckland athe head of the Hauraki Gulf. Forget your worries in this spacious and serene property. It is soo private and so quiet. It looks out over pasture and the local school to the ocean beyond.

The home and cabins are on 5 hectares, at the end of a private, gravel road, 5 minutes from Kaitoke Beach. The silence is breathtaking. The house is open on all sides to the sea, to the mountains, to the native bush; and did I mention there's a saltwater pool fed with filtered rainwater.

You will have access to all parts of the property; most of which is native bush. There is a small vegetable garden and new orchard. There are also two flat areas of lawn, extensive decks and a large outdoor paved courtyard on the southside adjacent to the pool.

Our place is centrally located on the island. We are close to the main surf beaches and good local eating spots. Tryphena harbour is 20 minutes drive to the south and Port Fitzroy is a 40 minute drive to the North.
