Barn vacation 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!

Enjoy the ambience of such a peaceful place, lovely furnishings and textiles a little gem in easy to reach rural surrounds, nature at it’s best.

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!

we had a fabulous stay, the house was beautiful and is great for a overnight trip with friends. The location is great and easy to access, it had everything we needed and we enjoyed our time! Thank you 💚

We had an amazing weekend getaway at Andrew’s place. It had great views and we loved that it was a very private property. We thoroughly enjoyed the outdoor amenities such as the spa pool, firepit the BBQ. The host was also very responsive and we had no issues during our stay. Thank you Andrew

Dariens place is absolutely beautiful and him and his wife are by far the most genuine, kind and welcoming hosts I've ever had the privilege of meeting. 10/10 all round - we will definitely be back in the future!

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.

Thank you for the stay! It's a nice to have a small kitchen to cook in. We thoroughly enjoyed your tiny home!

Rory and his family was amazing. If we ever came back to New Zealand we will be staying here again!! I could not recommend this place more, the host was lovely and super helpful in more ways than one!!

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!!

The home is spacious but you do not feel disconnected. Beautiful surroundings and well equipt kitchen. The indoor outdoor flow gave as an additional seating area for dinners etc. Fabulous facilities could not think of anything else that would be needed there. Would highly recommend The Red Barn.

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.

This was such a beautiful stay! We got ourselves a little confused finding the place but once we found it, it was smooth sailing! 10/10 definitely need to stay again
