XSPOT

Top choice in Hauraki Gulf Islands


Great Barrier's most spectacular accommodation option is also one of its more remote. A 25-minute drive from Tryphena – rent a 4WD vehicle – XSPOT is a spacious and stylish one-bedroom apartment with expansive windows offering jaw-dropping 270-degree views of the ocean. Equipped with a full kitchen and modern bathroom, it's the kind of place to linger amid spectacular marine vistas.

Solar and wind power proudly reinforce XSPOT's considerable eco creds, and there's a swimming pool to use at the adjacent owners' property.
