Welcome to Saltwater Stay!

Located on a 13-acre estate with mature olive trees, native bush, and open farmland, the room is one of three private rooms on the property. The room itself is spacious and comfortable, with a Queen-sized bed, a cozy seating area, and tea and coffee-making facilities. A fridge is provided for your convenience, and the room is equipped with basic cooking essentials, including utensils, cutlery, a single burner hob, and access to two large BBQs on the seaview side of the estate. The room is furnished in a simple, relaxed style, and opens onto a private courtyard for quiet mornings, as well as a seaview balcony where you can enjoy stunning sunsets.

For adventurous travelers, Great Barrier Island is a haven for outdoor activities. Some of New Zealand’s best fishing, surfing, diving, and hiking can be found just a short drive from the property. Explore scenic trails, dive into crystal-clear waters, or try fishing in the rich waters . There’s no shortage of things to do for those seeking an active holiday, but if you prefer a more laid-back experience, the island also offers beautiful beaches, quiet spots for picnicking, and a slower pace of life.

Please note that the driveway leading to the estate requires a 4x4 vehicle. The journey adds to the sense of adventure, with the driveway meandering through native bush and crossing over a stream before rising up the hillside to the privacy of the estate. Once you arrive, you’ll feel completely secluded, surrounded by nature, yet still close enough to local attractions and activities.

Whether you’re here for an adventure-filled holiday or a quiet weekend away from it all, this private suite offers the best of both worlds. With its stunning sea views, comfortable amenities, and access to both relaxation and adventure, it’s the perfect place to experience all that Great Barrier Island has to offer.

This lodge offers its guests barbecue grills. The front desk is open around the clock.

This Great Barrier Island lodge is smoke free.
