Deep Blue Haven has elevated and sheltered panoramic views overlooking pristine Whangaparapara Harbour, native forest hills, and valleys, across to the historic whaling station, then out to sea.
The comfortable three-story home is an exposed rafter and timber dwelling with a unique warm and homely character and furnishings that capture the homestead and nautical rustic charm.
The top story and main bedroom has two double beds. The floor area is expansive and setup as an artists studio to enjoy the palatial views for relaxation and inspiration.
Lie in bed and admire the International Dark Sky Sanctuary clear night skies through the skylights or get professional stare gazing advice from the star watching section of the monthly barrier bulletin.
The second story has one queen bedroom and main bathroom. The large kitchen and living space features an old fashioned bar setting for entertaining.

We have good Vodafone mobile coverage for Hot-spotting, internet and free-view television. Free WiFi up to 4 GByte via iPad Hot-spot (supplied- just ask). High quality beds with mosquito nets, window and door insect screens.
During summer we stay in the adjacent coach house. We are available if required to provide assistance and advice... just ask.
The property has formed steps that wind down through the garden and native bush to the harbour waters edge. It’s then five minutes walk along the road to Great Barrier Lodge with casual Restaurant dining and Bar till late. Walk on further to the sheltered harbour, floating jetty and boat ramp.
Enjoy sailing, snorkeling, spear fishing and scuba diving. Hooked on Barrier Charter sight seeing and fishing trips leave from the wharf. Hire a kayak. Standup paddle boarding in the early morning is very popular. Walk 15 minutes around the rocks and cast your line in.
