Accommodation Reviews

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

Above Expectations

“For a number of years now Great Barrier Lodge has been our first choice to host local and international guests on Great Barrier Island fishing trips. The main appeal for us is the comfortable accommodation, with the full commercial kitchen and bar area, so after a big day on the water the crew can unwind and relax in comfort. Jason and the team have always been super helpful and accommodating, often going well above expectations to make trips work, even in the off-season. If you are looking to head to the Barrier with a group, Great Barrier Lodge is a great place to stay and we will definitely be returning.”

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. “
