XSPOT Cliff 4WD holiday apartment for two - Spectacular 270° Hauraki Gulf views

“2013 Gold Winner Golden Piwa" BEST IN ECO-FRIENDLY!

It's blissful! A relaxing adventure!

Are you looking for peace, quiet and solitude? This light and modern apartment on Aotea Great Barrier Island in the winterless north of Aotearoa New Zealand provides just that. Is also has sweeping 270° degree panoramic views over the Hauraki Gulf.

Walk in and become part of the view. Take a seat on the comfy couch or a deck chair and gaze at the ever-changing views over the water. Then step off the veranda, follow a short track and sit down on a rock to absorb the view over the water, only a hundred meters below. Hear the waves break on the rocks and look out for whales, dolphins, or even sting- or manta rays.*

The apartment is self-contained with its own entrance and hallway. It is attached to our home, from where we, if required, can assist with tips on things to do on island, and solar and firewood systems.

While there is no promises, we often see dolphins, whales working schools of fish, gannets graciously gliding past at eye-height and cray fisherman checking their pots.

So while you settle in, you may occasionally have to check that your book is still in your lap and that your drink is still at hand, but you may completely forget about them, too.

Once you're totally relaxed, explore the island, or have a splash in the shared unheated swimming pool with views in summer.

This remote 4WD location is perfect for a honeymoon! Don't forget to ask about our Good Heavens stargazing special for couples!

The 80m2 apartment is spacious and has one master bedroom with ensuite and a walk in wardrobe to store your gear.

Book an extra few days if you are in doubt.. Most of our guests say they are sorry they didn't stay for longer. On top of the cliff, you're just a world away.

4WD access only! Bring your own 4WD car on the ferry or rent one through Claris rentals.

Travel to the Barrier by sea on the Sealink ferry, or fly with Barrier Air or Island Air.

There is an extra queen bedroom available. Extra guests must be booked in advance and are subject to availability.

Special conditions:
This clifftop apartment has has amazing views but is not necessarily suitable for toddlers. They are welcome with tight supervision.

Our alternative power system is sturdy but cannot cope with an overload. Electric appliances creating heat (hairdryers, -straighteners, toasters, rice cookers, etc.) can kill our batteries. Please leave them at home. Phone chargers, etc. are fine.

Please leave the property as you found it or pay $100 extra for cleaning.

Please ask about a Good Heavens Private Dark Sky Experience on site, or a Dark Sky Group Experience at Medlands.

* note: there is no easy access to the water below.

Starting with the drive into XSPOT is lovely through natural bush and rainforest. Would definitely recommend a 4WD though. Once you get to XSPOT you’ll be so blown away with the amazing views you won’t want to leave.The cliff top apartment is very comfortable and clean. Host are lovely Hilda and Rodger, thank you for our peaceful stay!

We loved this place - the space, the views, and the people were gorgeous! It's beautifully designed with high ceilings and massive windows that make the most of the views, and create a space that is lovely to spend time in. To top it off, Hilde and Roger were fantastic hosts. We will be back!

Best view going
Great property with an even greater view, 180 degree from the lounge and you even get a view from the bedroom. Great host will give you a lot of information about the island. Just make sure you have your driving skills with you as the drive to XSPOT is something and all the roads around Great Barrier are winding with amazing views. The locals are very friendly and helpful. A must visit is the Irish pub in Tryphena for dinner.

Amazing location, accommodation and great host!
Outstanding first trip to the Barrier. What a stunning location this property is situated. It feels like you are part of the view! Accommodation is spacious and well appointed and built for the view. Go out during the day to enjoy the spectacular beaches and walks on the Island and return for solitude, quiet and wonderous views wonder when you return home in the evening. One small critique is it would be great to have some chefs sharp knives for cooking but other than that, the place is amazing and has everything you could need for a relaxing get away.

Incredible views with lovely hosts
Peaceful and private accommodation with the most stunning views, especially at sunset! We visited Aotea for our honeymoon, and this was a truly special place to stay. It is very remote, and you definitely need a 4WD and confident driver to get there, but the views are worth it! Hilde was very friendly and helpful too :)

Stop Looking, Start Booking
We've stayed in a lot of places all around the world, and this was one of the best. It's a simply magical place, and Hilde and Roger are wonderful hosts. It exceeded all of our expectations (and our expectations were high!) It's an incredibly special place - with an unbelievable view, and all the comforts you could ever want. The Barrier is a wonderful place, and you just couldn't enjoy it from a better place. It's easy to get around the island from here, and yet it gives you a retreat at the end of the day. Seriously, I wasted lots of time looking up different places to stay, and I couldn't have been more happy with where we ended up. A big thank you to Hilde and Roger for sharing their slice of paradise with us for a few days... We will never forget it and hope to return soon.

The pictures do not do this place justice, I've never stayed in a place with views as amazing as you get here. The sunset you get from the house is spectacular. The house was warm, cozy, spacious and just absolutely incredible. Will definitely return when summer is in full swing

A stunning haven to relax in paradise
A beautiful quiet place to get away from the busyness of life to reflect, rejuvenate and relax. There are stunning views and spectacular sunsets from Xspot which is a modern, clean and spacious separate wing off the side of the host’s home. It has everything you need including a fully equipped modern kitchen, with milk in the freezer in case you run out! Hilde was the perfect, friendly host from start to finish, giving us privacy but also providing useful information about walks and other activities on the Island. While the 4WD drive up to the property requires care and focus, it’s definitely worth the effort. Thank you Hilde and Roger for opening your home to share this piece of paradise with us for 4 days. Would highly recommend it.

The 4WD drive into this property is fun in itself. The view on arrival is spectacular and impossible to take your eyes off. The apartment is styled beautifully and is very comfortable. The kitchen has all you need to help the self-caterer. Hilde was a warm and friendly host who has all the information you need to help you explore the Island. We also enjoyed the Good Heaven’s star gazing experience from the apartment. Our stay was the highlight of our honeymoon. Thank you.
