2 Bedroom House in Great Barrier Island, Great Barrier Island / Aotea

Nestled above the tranquil Kaitoke Creek and surrounded by lush native bush, Ponga House is a modern off-grid retreat on Aotea / Great Barrier Island, thoughtfully designed to help you slow down, reconnect, and immerse yourself in nature.
Dreamed up and handcrafted during the quiet years of the pandemic, the home is a true labour of love. Built by Kevin — a skilled builder and designer — alongside family and close friends, Ponga House balances contemporary comfort with the raw beauty of the island. Elevated timberwork, generous glazing, and dappled sunlight through the native canopy reflect a deep respect for the land and its surroundings.
