Koru bach is the idyllic holiday retreat located at beautiful Medlands beach on Great Barrier Islands stunning east coast.
It offers elevated north facing views over Medlands beach and the mountains beyond, yet set in a secluded and private bush setting just a short walk to the beach.
Ideal for a romantic weekend away or as a central base to explore the island.
Perfect uncrowded waves and great fishing can often be found at Medlands beach.

The Space

Koru Bach is a smallmodern eco building running entirely from sola power.
It is light and airy and the combination of sliding doors and shutters offer different outdoor living spaces including a sheltered courtyard, perfect for the evening apron or BBQ.
Large whispy Kanuka trees flank the building attracting an abundance of native birds including Wood pigeon, Kaka, and Tuis.
In the evening a unique night sky can be observed, so unbelievable Great barrier Island was awarded with Dark sky sanctuary status due to its extremely low light pollution.

    Signs to tell us where the place is. Better communication about how to get from our car to the bach. The bach itself was great

    Excellent communication from Shane, the host. The Bach has everything you need, feels very clean, and has sliding doors which transform a smallish living area into a much bigger space.Beautiful sheets and a decent shower. We loved the fact that the Bach was close to the beach but not too close to neighbors. My husband wants to return next year.

    This is a really well designed, comfortable, thoughtfully-equipped bach in a fabulous location. It is quiet and peaceful with an amazing night sky. We loved being off grid and even enjoyed the 10 minute walk from the car park up the (steep) hill to get to the bach. We were sad to leave and will return if we can. Thank you to Shane and The Barrier!

    Really cool bach, up a short walk form beautiful Medlands Beach. Would love to come back in summer and get the full benefit of the decks and terrace, a really cool set up for our young family of four.
