Great Barrier Island
Great Barrier

Great Barrier Island, the furthermost and largest island in the Hauraki Gulf, is a paradise of golden beaches, crystal clear waters, vast native forests and home to relatively few people. Take a short 30 minute scenic flight to reach this haven of peace and tranquility.

Be sure to pack your tramping boots – the forest is full of native plants and animals in their natural environment. Tracks will lead you to hot springs and well-preserved historic sites.

Plentiful beaches and inlets around the island offer safe swimming, diving, snorkelling, fishing and kayaking. In-fact there are numerous activities to unwind and entertain a conference group. And with a wide range of accommodation this is the perfect hideaway.
