XSPOT Come and stay at the self contained apartment attached to our comfortable eco-house! They are situated in a very remote location only shared with your hosts.

Experience XSPOT Cliff or Beach

* Cliff: panoramic Hauraki Gulf views
* Beach: Medlands and ocean views
* Dark Sky Sanctuary
* Modern, light, open plan
* Off grid, solar powered
* Great bases to explore Aotea Gt Barrier Is. This truly excellent apartment provides the widest sweeping views over the Hauraki Gulf. Apartment and house are mainly run on solar, wind and wood power and the attached swi

mming pool is heated by the sun. The architecturally designed house and apartment were finished in 2010 and have wide views from Coromandel to the Whangarei Heads. You will need a 4WD vehicle for access. Bring your own or ask about vehicle hirage. When you walk into your lounge, a look out of the panoramic windows will make you realise that you are not just looking at a view, but that you have become part of it. Take a seat on the comfy couch and gaze at the ever-changing views over the water. Keep an eye out for dolphins in the bay, whales in the ocean, gannets over head, and cray fisherman and oceanliners on the water. You may occassionally check that your book is still in your lap and that your drink is still at hand. But you may completely forget about them, too. Once you are totally relaxed, explore the island, or go for a swim in the unheated shared pool. A pebble beach is down below, a 20 minute climb down a challenging track takes you to the rocks. Your hosts are happy to show you how to get there. Have a look at https://www.xspot.co.nz/ for more photos and info.

Lots of algae bloom today - this is a natural occurrence: algal blooms are a natural part of the marine ecosystem, forming the base of food webs.
Noctiluca scintillans, a common orange bloom here in the Hauraki Gulf is generally considered non-toxic to humans, but its cells release ammonia, which can harm fish and aquaculture. The 'sea sparkle' is more impressive with the naked eye. 🤩

so good after dark, too!! 🤩
