Great place for family visit

We really enjoyed our stay near Kerikeri. It is a really nice peaceful country setting with plenty of space and amenities. A real bonus for us was that it was close to historic sites and very easy to get to Waitangi, Russell and other places. Thank you for a great stay!

Lovely peaceful setting but close enough to main highways for exploring the Bay of Islands. The property is exactly as in the photos. The kitchen is well equipped (pots, pans, utensils cleaning products etc) & instructions for using appliances was supplied & appreciated.
