The Glass Barn experience
unique private retreat or home base

A private retreat- take another honeymoon

Relax and watch the world go by from your “top of the ridge” vantage point with 360 degree views of beautiful rolling hills and upper harbour- for honeymooners or one or two couples wanting to escape for a few days. Steam bath, luxurious bath robes, huge day bed, gas fire, wide screen TV, indoor garden lounging areas…

Get off the tourist trail- your home base with concierge

Experience the unspoilt winterless North- for tourists on the road between Auckland and the Bay of Islands wanting to get off the tourist trail for a while and experience Northland the way locals live it. To help you really see Northland, we offer a local concierge/ guide to show you the Northland that most tourists rarely see (refer to the “rates” section for more details).

Boutique accommodation offering great indoor climate all year round

Poised on the highest point of a ridge of rolling green pastures with 360 degree views overlooking rivers and pastures. The property was designed and engineered to be a unique experience in boutique accommodation. Three villas (two for sleeping and one for living) adjoin a massive 256sq.m. glass house filled with lush subtropical plants and offering protection from wind rain and the excesses of the sun. You can relax totally under a new-age U.V. protected roofing system which has huge 3.6 metre high sliding glass walls on all sides. Open up to the outdoors or stay closeted in while still enjoying the all round views.
