“A heavenly retreat”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 August 2011

I spent two nights at Earthsong Lodge, to recharge my batteries. Great Barrier is a wonderful oasis, so close to Auckland, but far enough away to feel like a tropical escape. Trevor's food is thoughtfully prepared with so many flavours it appeals to all your senses. Carol is delighful and has spent many hours in the garden making it a wonderful escape. I enjoyed myself so much, I would love to have a romantic get away with my husband next time. You are spoilt with such a wonderful views and the fantastic company of your hosts. Recommended to all I speak with.

“Kiwi jewel”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 May 2011

The views are lovely and peaceful. The house is hidden in the local native bush from where you will enjoy the sight of local NZ birds coming to feast! The proprietors were very helpful and friendly and put on a delicious spread. Superb setting, superb island and superb spot to see it from!

“Beautiful vistas, tranquility and gourmet”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 May 2011

An eco lodge made of straw bales, so stylish and simplistic.
Due to Gt Barrier not being on electricity grid no mini fridge in room - but owners put our small picnic pack in theirs.
Very relaxing, laid back, wonderful place and people. Easy to unwind. No need to go out for dinner - an amazing dining experience every night with lovely sunsets- loved the entire stay.

Room Tip: All 3 rooms would be fabulous

“What a treat!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 April 2011

Great Barrier Island with it's old New Zealand charm and the combination with EartSong Lodge is the best. The friendliness and professionalism of the owners is a treat and the enthusiasm of Trevor presenting his 5 star creations is such a wonderful combination. We can only wholeheartedly recommend EarthSong. You will feel at home!

“Wonderfully relaxing, a place for gourmets to be spoiled”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 April 2011

person found this review helpful

Arrived in NZ after a long flight, and headed straight to Great Barrier Island to celebrate my partner's birthday. Earthsong was the perfect choice! Trevor is an excellent cook, going to great trouble to prepare fresh, locally-sourced ingredients with passion and care, and presenting it to his guests with panache. We felt very special, especially as we were the only guests for 2 of the 3 nights we stayed; but I suspect we would have felt the same way if the lodge was full too. Carole is charming and quietly goes about ensuring our every need was anticipated and met. Excellent - a real highlight of our time in NZ.

Room Tip: All are lovely, with great views
