Plussat: Hosts, breakfast, garden, rooms

Miinukset: No complaints, Was All great

Plussat: Nice hot tub and cooked breakfast.

Miinukset: Thin walls between the rooms. I could hear practically everything in the next room beside me. They were making noise until midnight. Not impressed

Plussat: We began our 6 week trip in NZ at the Stone Store Lodge in Keri Keri. The location on the hill set into semi tropical vegetation was a lovely surprise. Our host Richard was welcoming and helpful and his assistant Izzie made our stay very special.

Plussat: The view was amazing the host friendly beautiful private room

Miinukset: The walk to the bath needed night lights it was slippery and narrow wasn’t prepared to take that on at nighttime

Plussat: It was perfect !!

Plussat: Izzie is a fabulous host- she cooked us delicious breakfast daily and gave us great tips on local hot spots in the area!!! The common room is huge and comfortable - a very relaxed setting. Would recommend this for groups or families!

Would definately recommend.

Plussat: Breakfast was great, as was the location and the room. Brilliant.

Miinukset: The shampoo, soap, etc wasn't great. It is good to see a local business being supported though.

Plussat: Clean + awesome and attentive staff!

Plussat: We found the proprieters friendly and the unit we were given was very clean and tidy.Our unit was at the end of the line and this was excellent in that it was away from any street noise and any comings and goings in the central areas of the complex.Having said that our unit had good car parking and was easily accessible.

Miinukset: We found the bathroom basin of an unusual size,depth and shape,which did compromise the use of.

Plussat: Great location, very quiet , Great hosts, Close to all amenities Lovely touch to receive a glass of wine and homemade slices on arrival . We will be back !!

Miinukset: Leaving

Plussat: Really enjoyed the stay. Excellent hosts and large comfortable well appointed rooms. Will definitely stay again if we are up that way.

Plussat: Im guessing staff onsite were the owners because their customer service was beyond me, so helpful, friendly and made me and my partner feel so welcome. The unit was well equipped and plenty of space - unit was also super clean would recommend to all

Plussat: Location perfect for our needs, set in beautiful grounds. Quiet, peaceful and our hosts could not have been more welcoming or helpful

Plussat: amazing property, friendly staff and comfortable homely hospitality.

Miinukset: have nothing to complain about

Plussat: We absolutely loved this place. We stayed in the 2 bedroom cottage for 3 nights, 2 adults 2 kids. There was so much room for us we didnt feel cramped. I liked that there was a full kitchen, decent sized freezer meant we could have ice cream and freeze our waters down. Full sized oven & cooktop. Even a bbq! Had all the utensils you would need on holiday. The bathroom was great with a spa bath even! I liked that we were a bit away from the main house so that we didnt disturb other guests and the owner guy left us to it. The kids loved the pool! Swimming in the rain it was still warm. The fresh fruit was also a nice touch!

Miinukset: Only little picky things were the tv is a little small and couldnt get apple devices to connect to the wifi. But this meant the kids had to get outside so good in a way!

Plussat: Friendly staff and beautiful cottage in the middle of citrus trees.

Plussat: Wonderful stay. Great value for money. Very friendly staff and guests.

Miinukset: Bed was too soft for us and there were only 2 shared wc but for the price this is a great place.

Plussat: Free fruits, bigger space to stroll around, friendly owner, staff, pets and visitors. The lodge is close to the city and other tourist spots.

Plussat: It is very private and quite. Great pool. Nature on your door step.

Plussat: We got to have our own privacy

Miinukset: Wasn't anything i could fault

Miinukset: Settee was quite worn!

Plussat: Clause was very good. Mozzies were very bad. Great location.

Miinukset: Mozzies

Miinukset: Third night we had a big problem with mosquitoes in our room. This might have been due to weather conditions,but in that case the owner might have provided nets,or warned guests to use repellent.

Plussat: Breakfast was great Thankyou. Bed very comfortable great sleep.

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Excellent host, they were just great people who made us feel welcomed and feel really special. Thank you Geoff and Chris, who is a great chief.

Plussat: Very clean, wonderful hosts.

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: The Pool the dog the host's the garden

Plussat: Bed was comfortable

Miinukset: Could of mown the lawns before the guests arrived. Thought Geoff was abit to much talking instead of letting us relax in private. Thought the draws were dusty and the porch outside needed a water blast.

Plussat: Very tranquil location with beautiful grounds and pool. The hosts were very friendly and helpful and the breakfasts were exceptional, with the added pleasure of being able to choose your own breakfast - fresh fruit and freshly baked croissants or a cooked breakfast. Also, we really appreciated having our rooms serviced daily, as long as we were out of our room by 11.00 am.

Plussat: Very friendly hosts with great tips on local attractions. A great place to stay

Plussat: Beautiful Garden - Lovely room - excellent hosts

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Beautiful place, friendly hosts, very nice breakfast, nice room, great walk with the dogs! Love it. Will stay next time, if we will be able.

Miinukset: Everything was great.

Plussat: Puketotara Lodge is a small lodge well situated off SH10. Spacious, well-appointed rooms have private entrance from parking area. Each room has windows and sliding glass doors with views across the garden and orchard to the rolling hills across the small Puketotara River. Room felt like staying in a cottage overlooking a vineyard. Even better ... Proprietor Mutsuo is gracious and a masterful chef. The presentation of cut fruit when I entered the dining area followed by the manner in which he prepared and plated a vegetable and herb omelette with ingredients raised on the property gave away that he trained as a chef. -- If travelling with that special someone, the 3-course Chef's selection dinner on the intimate patio would be romantic experience. This would also be a good location for a leadership team offsite meeting. Everyone will feel transported to an idyllic spot away from the rest of the world. It is a place where people can "focus", yet also have the space to ponder own thoughts. Interestingly, there is a landing strip and 9-hole golf course on the property.

Miinukset: All is excellent.

Plussat: The property was stunning, breakfast was delicious, rooms were peaceful, spacious and comfortable and the hosts were wonderful! Would stay there again...

Miinukset: Nothing, everything was lovely...

Plussat: We enjoy our stay at puketotara lodge and exceeded our expectations. The place was well looked after and the view was amazing

Plussat: The views are just spectacular. And Matsuo is such a friendly host. Great brekky too!

Plussat: Great bed. Great breakfast. Beautiful view

Miinukset: Paid a high price for this lodge but it was a little '80's' in style..... more up to date/contemporary styling particularly in the bathroom would have been optimal.

Plussat: We loved our stay, the lodge is beautiful, in a peaceful quiet area, and close to the waterfalls and restaurants :) 15-20min drive into Paihia too! The hosts were lovely and made us a delicious breakfast every morning! Would highly recommend this place for a nice weekend getaway!

Plussat: Loved rooms and tranquil surroundings Beautiful place

Plussat: Beautiful rooms with friendly staff. Great grounds to go for a walk with the kids. Friendly chickens!

Miinukset: Our only thing would be the linen almost felt like it needed to be washed. There were a few Mark's etc on bed sheets

Plussat: Staff were friendly and pleasant to deal with.

Miinukset: Shower was not clean so didn't shower. No hot water for the hand basin.

Plussat: Like staying on an island resort but minutes from town centre.

Miinukset: The water pressure/ heater was a bit tricky to balance in the shower.

Plussat: It was a very nice cottage and calm place to relax.

Plussat: Beautiful location. I didn’t realise what I had book until we got there. Lots of trees, ponds. Lovely view. Pukekō and pugs there which my children loved. It was so clean. Bed was comfy and had a nice little deck which was nice to sit on at night and listen to the night time sounds. I travel to Kerikeri often and this is where I will stay from now on. Had a small issue which I brought up with the owner. He was very understanding and nice and offered me a free night next time which I really appreciate. Thanks you for a lovely stay :)

Plussat: I enjoyed the quiet tranquility of the property.

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: the balcony and view of the pool and spa

Miinukset: the door is heavy, and on automatic lock, husband got locked out when he popped out to the car to get something while we were all asleep so we couldn't hear him knocking to get back in, so he had to sleep in the car till I woke up at about 5am, just realising he wasn't in bed

Plussat: Relaxed, scenic, immaculately presented and clean with a kitchen that had all the utensils you could need. It was lovely to be provided with breakfast provisions on arrival (we stayed three nights). Only 2 minutes drive from Kerikeri and 20 mins from Paihia we were glad we stayed in Kerikeri as a base - there are many excellent cafes, wineries and restaurants around Kerikeri and our host was very friendly, made excellent recommendations and was able to help booking activities etc.

Miinukset: In case you are expecting it, the rooms aren’t serviced during your stay (3 nights for us).

Plussat: The accommodation was superb.

Plussat: Totally Recommended. Stunning place in Kerikeri. Immaculately presented and clean. Very welcoming and helpful host. We will definitively comeback.

Plussat: The place was perfect. What a fantastic place for a quiet getaway that is still close to the village centre. Really nice tastefully decorated cottage in beautiful tranquil setting. Good supplies was excellent and the kitchen was well appointed.

Miinukset: One really small suggestion. A non stick frying pan would have make cooking breakfast a lot easier. But that’s a really minor issue compared to the overall experience.

Plussat: was clean and tidy could fit four people in our room! room 15 even had an extra bed. Had a pool. is close to everything! perfect location.

Plussat: Great location in central Kerikeri !! Easy to experience the township etc.

Plussat: Easy access great location

Miinukset: Was great

Plussat: Convenience to my clients because motelnin centre of town

Plussat: Great little place in middle of town, close to everything, clean tidy and quiet.

Miinukset: Shower didn't have much presure.

Plussat: Great location, so nice and clean, fantastic lovely host and wifi was great

Miinukset: More lighting down the drive & around the units. Ants in the nuts that were sealed then all over & in the jug. Shower head kept falling down. Milk in fridge, don't know how old it was but also given fresh milk on arrival. Taxis in book unavailable, so we walked. Only short walk so ok but driveway very dark & not enough lights around ramp by unit.

Plussat: Bed was too old

Miinukset: The owner was not flexible

Plussat: Nice place and people.

Plussat: Heater was awesome

Miinukset: The hot water in the showers was only warm water... yet the water in the hand basin was piping hot.

Plussat: Private location friendly staff a pleasent stay

Miinukset: N/A

Plussat: The reception staff Saturday morning was great.

Miinukset: Didn't realise that room only gets serviced once in a 7 day stay, I stayed 5 nights. Towels were refreshed day 3. But rubbish bins in bathroom and bedroom not at all. No light outside my room or along the verandah. I was coming back each night after dark. Room had damp mouldy smell when entering. Asked for a light bulb to be replaced, didn't happen. $126 a night in middle of winter was a bit steep considering the above comments.

Plussat: Very nice and comfortable room. Great choice of kitchen utensils.

Miinukset: No bowls in the kitchen. We had to go outside to go to the toilet

Plussat: The location was beautiful, surrounded by bushland. Lovely, waking up to sunshine peaking through the tops of trees.

Miinukset: The bathroom was tiny and my husband had a bit of difficulty getting through the rounded shower door. The TV controls did not work, but we finally managed to find the controls on the back of the TV. There was only one chair in the room so one of us had to sit on the bed. The room could do with better heating facility as it was a very cold evening.
