Accommodation Reviews

Here’s what some of our event hosts had to say:

A word from Marie Andrews Yoga Retreats

“Great Barrier Lodge is the ideal location for our yoga retreats on Great Barrier Island, the lodge has everything you need for a complete group experience. Most rooms have ensuite bathrooms and kitchenette’s so everyone gets their own space to retreat to, but there are fabulous spaces for the group to gather, for meals as well as plenty of room for group yoga sessions and places to just sit and enjoy the many vistas. The main commercial kitchen was a dream set up for our caterer. Great Barrier Island has so many natural attractions and a very nurturing energy, our group loved the retreat experience, we have already booked to go back!”

Fabulous week

"Thank you Jason, Amanda and Violet, for your warm welcome and for being such great hosts. Our Hamilton based Friendship Force group enjoyed a fabulous week on GBI. The Great Barrier Lodge accommodation was clean, tidy, very comfy and in such a beautiful, peaceful location. The central location of the Lodge on the Island was perfect for our day adventures, which were followed by lots of fun and laughter at the evening gatherings, predinner drinks on the deck, story telling and even star gazing. I would highly recommend The Great Barrier Lodge for a family occasion or group gathering."

Great Sea Views

"Great Barrier Lodge is an excellent place for groups to stay on Great Barrier Island. The rooms are clean and comfortable with great sea views.

The location is remote enough to provide a peaceful stay, but still close enough to the airport. It's also great to have such generous communal spaces to relax in together outside of our rooms and play some pool or darts."


Fantastic VenuE

“We have just had the most amazing holiday at Great Barrier Lodge. Jason & Amanda were so welcoming & helpful. Nothing was a problem. This is a fantastic venue for family gatherings with an awesome commercial kitchen & unbelievable coffee machine! Great spaces to spend time with a pool table, table tennis, darts, heaps of books & games or you can do what we did and just sit on the deck watching the boats coming & going and the antics of the birds on the front lawn with a gin on hand! Loved how every one of us had our own rooms with ensuites, ensured for great privacy. Wonderful walks nearby with so much history to explore. We will definitely back. “
