The location was great, close to scenic walks and great restaurants. Moments after we arrived Richard popped by to welcome us and to let us know that he would be nearby if there was anything we might need. The room was spacious and comfortable, with a heated floor in the bathroom and we particularly liked the floor to ceiling windows which looked directly into the lush garden. Shortly after we settled into our room we were greeted by a tui who regularly stopped in the tree directly outside our window to sing his beautiful song. We were so impressed and it was one of the highlights of our trip in the Bay of Islands. Outside the room had a porch with a small table and two chairs to further enjoy the garden setting and views down to the river, we didn’t use it as it had been raining and the seats were wet. We were sorry not to have had more time to stay at such a special place as there is a lot more to it than the rooms.

If I had to find something I would suggest a couple of bath robes would be helpful when dashing into the kitchen in the morning for some milk, as it was not provided inside the mini fridge in our room.

Peaceful, beautiful view, parking, help yourself breakfast. Absolutely lovely

A beautiful open space, very comfortable and we liked the eco friendly products that were supplied for the bathroom space.

Just that the outdoor bath wasn’t set up very nicely as advertised, but maybe we should have asked in advanced so that is probably our bad.

What an absolute gem in Kerikeri. A beautiful lodge with your own lovely room with ensuite Then you also get to use all the other lodge facilities. Richard is a helpful friendly host.

The property was gorgeous. Our room was spacious and comfortable, overlooking native bush, with a balcony and lots of beautiful birdsong. The use of the well-appointed shared kitchen and BBQ was great. We cooked in a couple of nights and enjoyed the spacious dining and living area almost every evening. Breakfast ingredients were supplied for you to put together as you wished (cereal, bread, butter, jam, eggs etc). There was an espresso machine too which was a really nice touch. Richard, the owner, was extremely friendly and helpful, as was Amelia, the cleaner. We also has in room massages arranged by Richard, which were glorious - highly recommend Annamieke, our massage therapist.

Nothing. I would return there anytime.

Size of the room and bathroom were great. Access to the communal areas worked well for us as we like to be on our own so we didn't need to 'stay in our room'. Easy instructions to get into the building were available. Wifi was excellent.

I misunderstood that there are a number of rooms that are 'let' with a communal kitchen / lounge / dining area. Luckily we were the only ones there on our 1 night which suited us. The mosquitos are killers. Suggest that personal insect repellent is recommended as I came home with a couple of inflammatory bites (and no, I didn't scratch them to cause this). Mozzies are coming up through the pipes even with the screens on windows. Two TV channels only - really???

stunning location, beautiful views, very clean

was a bit weird that I barely clapped eyes on the owners. On arrival it was unclear which room was mine, and I couldn’t raise anyone on checking out; although I could hear them nobody responded to my knocking. I didn’t have a local SIM card so calling the number provided cost a fortune and took several attempts before I could connect. Bizarre!

The location and the facilities were very good, would highly recommend.
