Great Barrier is the first island in the world to be accredited International Dark-Sky Assocation (IDA) Dark Sky Sanctuary status. Only two other locations in the world are considered Dark Sky Sanctuaries and Great Barrier stands out as the only such sanctuary to comprise an entire island. Just a 30-minute flight out of Auckland airport, talk to us about your next dark sky trip.

AN EXPERIENCE LIKE NO OTHER.

You know you’ve got away from it all when you are relaxing on the deck looking out to breath taking sea views, watching dolphins frolic in a sun-kissed sea. Join us at Tipi & Bobs Waterfront Lodge and this kind of idyllic seaside accommodation is yours. Located right on the shore, near white sandy beaches and shops, the Lodge has stunning views. The rainbow flecks of boats puttering around Tryphena Harbour, the clear sparkling waters of the Hauraki Gulf and in the distance, the green arc of the Coromandel Peninsula on the New Zealand mainland.
All around you stretches the untouched wonderland of Great Barrier Island, a paradise of tranquil bush, towering Kauris, natural hot springs and sandy beaches.

Hospitality is our business. Outstanding location, best service. Everyone is welcome!
