About this house rental
Has amazing, unobstructed North-facing 270 degree views over Medlands beach, bay and mountains beyond. Just a few minutes walk to spectacular Medlands beach via road or a bush track. The entire house is eco friendly with drinkable rain catchment water, solar panels providing all electrical power and solar water collector for hot water.
The kitchen has a large fridge freezer with gas stove and hobs, and a massive concert island bar.
SpaceX Star link satellite dish for ultra fast internet onsite.
Pedestrian access via foot bridge (from camp ground) across stream and then an eight minute walk to the house. Vehicle access to house requires crossing of the Oruawharo tidal stream at low tide!!! in your 4WD vehicle. My onsite manager will arrange a meet and greet at the foot bridge to exchange house keys, show you correct operation of the home and use their car to transport your luggage to the house on arrival and departure.
All meals are self-catered therefore if you want specialty items it is suggested you bring these with you to the island although there are shops and cafes located at Claris, Tryphena and Port Fitzroy if you have your own transport.
Barrier is an amazing destination with world-class surfing, fishing and diving on your doorstep. The southern end of Medlands beach is suitable for boat launching.
Laundry facilities are located at Claris adjacent to the general store.
Mount Hobson summit, Kaitoke natural hot springs and historic kauri dams are worth the walk.

This bach was ideal for our two families. Lots of space and plenty of ensuite bathrooms. The kitchen was a highlight, great outlook for entertaining. Epic view out to Medlands beach. From star-gazing, to snapper to surfing and swimming, we had an awesome holiday!

The property was across an estuary which could only be crossed at low to mid tide. This was a concern at first, but the old subaru ferried us and our stuff up and down the hill, and it proved only to be a minor inconvenience. There was 7 of us, on a surf trip. Catering was not difficult. There were enough pans, crockery and cutlery and glassware. The beds were comfortable. and there are multiple bathrooms. The house is run on solar electricity. We didn't run out of electricity (but we did turn off the lights when not needed. I understand there is a generator if needed) Overall we were very happy with the place. Note there is no inhouse laundry (not an issue if you bring enough undies)

Despite the terrible weather, we had a wonderful stay at Barrier Headquarters. The beds and couch were very comfortable, the kitchen is huge and well appointed, and there are lots of bathrooms too.
The view from the deck is impressive, as pictured. Lots of good walks around - including the Kowhai Track, along the beach and around the bay.
We weren't impressed when the cost per night jumped after we reduced our stay from 4 nights to 3 nights, but Anthony was so accommodating, we forgave him!
