Had an excellent vibe about it only slightly off the beat and track meaning you are able to get lost in the wilderness of GBI. Large kitchen and good size bedrooms!

We arrived at Claris made our way from the airport to the accommodation. the car parking for the property is in a small Reserve which is part of a campground you cross over a small bridge and there is a car stored on the other side to take you up the hill. the walk is about 5 to 8 minutes if you should choose to. I believe there is a bushwalk but we never actually found this. the house has amazing views the weather for us was a bit marginal but the house is beautifully appointed. there is no toaster and no jug everything is done on or in the oven. As we were a group of 8 that was suggested we got the fire going to ensure there was enough hot water however no kindling was supplied and we had to go to a neighbour for an axe to actually cut some but once that was done we were away as wokd was made available. the house was beautifully warm and we never run out of hot water .The heating was using the log fire and radiators in bottom bedrooms. The hosts were amazing with great communication and more than happy to accommodate in anyway I would certainly recommend the house, its appointments, it's location and the hosts to anybody looking. there is no washing machine available just be aware that is down the road at the local store so that also needs to be a consideration potentially for longer stays. Thankyou

Amazing weekend! Thanks Anthony and Lucia.

This was the absolute best place to come and relax after doing the Aotea track with a big crew. Very clean and spacious and a gorgeous view and easy access to the beach. Also, Anthony and Lucia were both very communicative and friendly and really helped us have the best stay possible. We are already planning our next trip back to Great Barrier and will definitely be staying here again. :) Thanks so much for an amazing stay.

This is very well appointed rental accommodation and absolutely perfect for three couples. The views are outstanding and the house is spotless. The beds and linen are excellent and the owner is very friendly and helpful. If you want luxury beach accommodation in a remote setting, this place fits the bill.

Very comfortable and well equipped house. The view of the beach and distant ranges from the main room and deck is spectacular. While there is no dining table inside there is a four seater bar and a large table on the deck that easily seats 8 people. The outside dining option is weather dependent. The kitchen is very well sit up for cooking large family meals. Use of the dishwasher and clothes washing machine would be useful for large family groups staying a week or more.
