About this property

FishMore Cottage on an organic citrus orchard

This charming, very private, self-contained cottage is set in the middle of our organic citrus orchard, just 5 km outside of Kerikeri.

It has full insulation, double glazing, mosquito screens and a heat pump to make your stay extra comfortable. The super king bed can be converted into two king singles. And there is a single bed in the lounge. Mood lighting over the free standing bath, wine rack, TV in lounge and bedroom, quality linen and towels make you want to stay longer and explore all the beautiful sights in the Bay of Islands.

centrally located to great sites.

The cottage was clean and well stocked. It was a great location to go to glow worm caves, the stone store, rainbow falls, old town of Russel or a day on the ocean in the bay of plenty. It was very nice to know after a long day of exploring you could go back to a clean comfortable and quiet place to rest for next day of adventure.

Relaxing Country getaway

Surrounded by orange trees were my 2 year old boy could rome free and hubby and I could relax on the deck. The one bedroom unit was nice and warm for us on our arrival and had everything we needed, we enjoyed feeding the animals and everything was a short drive away. Would highly recommend this property.

Wonderful, relaxing citrus orchard retreat!

We were warmly welcomed by Claes with a bowl of organic oranges. The cottage has everything we needed. I enjoyed a salt water swim in the pool. Everything was perfect and the surroundings were private and relaxing. I shall be returning with my preschoolers soon. They will love the kune-kune pigs and chickens. They will love being amongst the citrus grove. Thank you Claes for a wonderful stay!

Beautiful restful stay

2 friends and I stayed 2 nights. We competed in the Kerikeri Half Marathon on Saturday. There was a good luck message and a little chocolate bar for us all. The place was clean and well appointed. Fresh fruit for us from the orchard was in the fruit bowl. The pool was lovely, the bath devine. The chooks wandered about, we went to visit the pigs. The dog was a sweety. It was quiet despite the fact there were 4 cabins on the property. The beds were comfy. We will all visit again and would definitely recommend
