Waterfront Lodge Tourism Business For Sale
Great Barrier Island, New Zealand
Hospitality is our business Located right on the shore, near wharf and shops, Waterfront Lodge offers quality 3 Star Plus accommodation with stunning views out across Tryphena Harbour. Tryphena Harbour is on the southern end of Great Barrier Island and just a half-hour flight from Auckland, or a two-hour scenic cruise by fast ferry across the clear sparkling waters of the Hauraki Gulf. Dolphins cruise in and around the harbour on most days of the year and Waterfront Lodge with its wide decks and floor-to-ceiling windows is an ideal vantage point for watching them play. Great Barrier Island is the largest of New Zealand's northern offshore islands with a rugged, untouched beauty and endless white sandy beaches and rocky headlands.

The Island is renowned for its great diving and fishing and wild surfing beaches.

Great Barrier Island is the guardian of the Hauraki Gulf. Its eastern side takes a pounding from the Pacific, creating almost unmatched breaks on the surf beaches of Awana and Medlands. The western coast is more tranquil, with deep water harbours that provide a safe anchorage for yachts of all sizes. Great Barrier has the kind of rugged, untouched beauty that appeals to adventurers. There are magnificent forests with well-formed roads and tracks that lead to secluded natural hot springs and historic Kauri dams. Wildlife flourishes here - the island is a haven for rare birds and lizards. Around the coasts, it's all about endless white sandy beaches and crystal clear waters that offer legendary fishing and diving experiences.
