Our host was a sweetheart. Everything so comfortable you could take nice walks around her flowers in the gardens and down by the beautiful waterfall. It was just like a fairy land there and the crumpets I miss so much they were just delicious with the plums and the jelly. Hope to see you again in my lifetime. We sure had a great time love staying there Faye and melinda
By the prettiest waterfall I’ve ever saw. Right in the back yard
Faye had crumpets for our breakfast and honey that was outstanding till I see her plum jelly she made from her trees
Loved the rocks stacked up reminds me of my grandson. When we go to lake we built rock homes and see if they’re there the next time

The photos don’t do this place justice. It’s huge and luxurious. Every detail and all the little things like bedding, pillows, towels are all top-end luxury. The hosts are fantastic but also give you plenty of space to relax. The location with the waterfall is beautiful and relaxing. We are definitely staying again when I’m up there next time.

Beautiful stay in Kerikeri

We had a fantastic Easter break at Faye and Ian's lovely bed and breakfast. From the warm welcome to the fabulous view from the living area and decks, we were delighted. The rooms were beautifully furnished, along with great ensuite bathrooms, comfortable beds and cosy seating areas. If you want a special break away you won't be disappointed. Thanks Faye and Ian for making our stay so great.

Lovely place

The hosts were really welcoming and took care of every need while still giving us our space. The waterfall in the backyard is awesome and definitely worth taking a swim in the pool below. Great continental breakfast with no time attached so we could sleep in. Overall a great experience and gave us a chance to wind down from the hussle of the city.

Best ever Bookabach accommodation

This B and B is the best we’ve ever stayed in. The hosts were warm and welcoming and went out of their way to make our stay a success. Their home is beautifully presented and very comfortable. There were many personal touches that added to the overall excellence - information about the area, swimming in the Rockpool near the waterfall, home made bottled plums and spreads at breakfast. We’d highly recommend this B and B.

Amazing Stay with Wonderful Hosts

Our hosts were a wealth of knowledge and willingly shared valuable information on culture, food, wine and the fabulous walking trails right outside their beautiful back yard. The property was private and exquisite! Their hospitality was warm and the breakfasts were fabulous. The home is beautiful with two bedrooms each with their own bath. The setting is stunning. We loved the nightly conversations and the wine recommendations yet they were sensitive to privacy if desired. An absolute delight!

This property exceeded our expectations, perfectly presented, magnificent location and outstanding hosts. The breakfasts were delightful and our rooms extremely comfortable. We were very impressed by the interior design of this stunning property and the professionally manicured gardens. However, while the waterfall views were breathtaking at this awesome property, the friendly hosts are the real icing on the cake, they made us feel very welcome and even became our local tour guides! Outstanding!

Wonderful Charlie's Rock B/B

Everything about our stay was terrific. It's hard to put into words the beautiful property. The location is great, quiet but close enough to town for those evenings out. The absolute highlight of the stay was Faye and Ian the hosts. They made our stay feel like visiting family. They were extremely knowledgeable about the area and recommended great day trips to make our stay more memorable. If we are in Kerikeri again the first accommodation we will check availability of is Charlie's Rock B/B. Thank you to Faye and Ian.

Beautiful spot and lovely hosts!

My great nephew and I spent several days at Faye and Ian’s. Our rooms were LOVELY and the attention to detail was unmatched. The swimming hole was refreshing and fun to watch as my nephew jumped from the top rocks. We made several day trips to various beaches and I swam in the warm clear NZ waters. We also visited several Maori cemeteries and our last evening we were treated to seeing huge Kauri trees and Rainbow Falls. I fell in love with Kerikeri and much of it because of our warm and welcoming hosts. Breakfast each day was an added bonus and Faye sent us on our way with passion fruit and tomatoes. Pelle and I want to thank them for their lovely hospitality.
