"The house was clean and tidy and had everything needed. It was a great stay, the bay was calm and sheltered. The location was uncrowded by people. The area was safe and we didn't have to worry about the kids playing on the roadside, beach and creek. We had two tents on the front lawn and the kids had a lot of fun sleeping outside. "

"Lovely sunny airy home, with comfy sofas, in a beautiful peaceful area. A sunny front deck with exceptional views of the sea and bushland. Bring your own binoculars. Shady back deck overlooked farmland. Spacious bedroom, with a very firm mattress and soft bedding supplied. The modern kitchen and bathroom are both well equipped. We recommend you bring your own cooking oil, seasonings, tea & coffee; Soap & shampoo etc.Great shower pressure. We highly recommend this holiday home and location for your next trip away, and we look forward to returning too."

"Excellent place to stay, tidy, clean, great area"

"Absolutely loved our stay. I've been all over the world and have never experienced this level of tranquility. The property has amazing views, is comfortably equipped, and makes you feel like you are at the ends of the earth. Yoga on the deck was amazing, Hilde was a perfect host, and we'll tell all our friends they must stay at X Spot on Great Barrier. A place unlike any other!"

"Great views across the water and very secluded. It wasn’t quite how the pictures show and needs a little work to get back to the standard of the original photos and some parts need a bit of a clean. I understand it is high in the trees so there will have been insects about and that’s all fine, but the windows hadn’t been cleaned on the outside for a while, the driveway needs some weeding/ferns nurtured so it is easier to park/get out. Also, some areas inside need cleaning (corners on the floor, shelves in the cabinet etc). Perhaps, the chairs replaced so they are similar to the ones in the picture. For the price charged I think there needs to be some changes to make it more beautiful and worth the money, compared to other places on the island. Some of the communication is conflicting and needs updating regarding check-in times, parking place. "

"Great location and fantastic view. Loads if space in the house and great kitchen"

"This is a little bit of paradise. Carol was a fabulous host and the property is just as advertised. The location is perfect for anyone looking to explore the island."

"Great location. Quiet and close to grocery store and cafe my fat puku which was great!Some plumbing issues but thats life and have already discussed with Mike. Mosquitoes were a big deal for me as i react badly. Unfortunately Window mesh didn't fill all the gaps . Duct tape would help as a first aid measure or mike put some adhesive foam on the bottom of the frames already there."

"Great bach with awesome views "
