Plussat: All round excellence

Miinukset: No serious objections to anything

Plussat: Considering Stay Kerikeri is on the main road, the rooms are very quiet. Easy 20 minute walk to the Stone House and Plough and Feathers. We lucked on going there on a Sunday afternoon with free live music and had our best meal during our stay in NZ.

Miinukset: Cellphone connectivity wasn't great. But wasnt too much of an issue for us.

Plussat: Awesome people, clean and tidy. Loved the pool and very child friendly.

Miinukset: No issues at all.

Plussat: Our favorite part was the swimming pool and the amenities ie kitchen and bathroom. Was very clean and the staff were extra helpful.

Miinukset: The bed was a little to soft for our liking but other than that it was a great place to stay.

Plussat: On check in we were given a glass of wine, which was a really nice welcome and an indication of the friendliness of the owners. Our room was very clean and I was impressed with the bbq area, which was supplied with equipment to clean up after cooking

Miinukset: Nothing really, other than me being grumpy about other guests New Year's eve celebrations

Plussat: The location is amazing. Close to town centre and all the places that you would visit in Kerikeri. 5 mins away fro grocery store, next to the chocolate cafe and just across the road to the weekend markets. We also enjoyed the pool a lot and the beds are really comfortable. The rooms are also clean. They also accommodated our request for a high chair for free. There was an issue with the wifi at the start but they sorted it out quickly. Good amenities and the staff is very friendly.

Miinukset: There was supposed to be housekeeping everyday but we got missed on one day. I wish they had more extra pillows. We had a two bedroom place and only had 1 pillow each on the other room

Plussat: Warm and friendly welcome from host.

Miinukset: Bed was too soft for us.

Plussat: Great location 5 minutes walk from the Maha restaurant. Good pool. Excellent rooms.

Miinukset: The water pressure in the showers a bit low.

Plussat: First of, the owners. They were amazing with us and super friendly. Secondly, the facilities. The family apartment was great, well equipped and spotless clean. The swimming pool and BBQ was a big plus that we really enjoyed. There was a lot of things to do and see nearby and they offer you plenty of options to be occupied for at least two weeks :). K highly recommend this place, and I'll definitely consider it if I return to the area.

Miinukset: It might sound silly but having almost no cellphone coverage you kind of rely on their WiFi service. It was very bad to say the least... It was really slow and it was cutting out all the time. That's the only reason why I don't give them 10 out of 10.

Plussat: The premises was well located and centrally to most tourist attractions. It was well off the main road was really peaceful and the facilities were great with a swimming pool. The staff were great and we were welcomed with a drink which was a very nice touch

Miinukset: It was just a little bit cramp but overall we did not let this put us off our stay.

Plussat: The owners were wonderful and made us feel right at home. The location was excellent and close to attractions and the town, we were able to dolts of walking with our 4yr old. The cabins were perfect, very clean and comfortable. We had access to free wifi, Sky and Netflix. I highly recommend this place!!

Plussat: Well presented, good range of facilities in unit.

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: This place was awesome. The room was specious and clean. Rob and Lionel was exceptional and very kind. We really enjoyed our stay!

Plussat: A beautiful room, amazing breakfasts and a beautiful garden. Wonderful hosts!

Plussat: We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. Our experience exceeded our expectation. The hosts were very friendly and did everything possible to ensure we enjoyed our stay. There were so many examples of thoughtful and generous gestures such as the chilled water, gourmet night-time chocolates, bath robes, pool towels, complimentary drink on arrival etc etc. The breakfast was exceptional with fresh fruit, home-made muesli, pastries plus a cooked meal of your choice. We couldn't fault our stay and would highly recommend it to others who are looking for a quiet and restful place close to the Bay of Islands.

Miinukset: Nothing.

Plussat: The hosts, pool, breakfast, decor, nothing was too much trouble. Very personalised.

Plussat: Perfect setting for our family holiday and catch up with extended family. Kids loved it. 2 bedroom cottage was perfect for us and had everything we needed. Claes (owner) was helpful yet left us to it

Plussat: We were greeted by Klaus (and his laid back pet Labrador) and made to feel welcomed and at home immediately. Very relaxing and homely vibe. We predominantly used this base as a launching pad to discover the far north.

Plussat: Homely atmosphere

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Free oranges. Good shower. Clean room. Nice kitchen. Nice hosts. Sweet dog. Lovely grounds.

Miinukset: No lock on door for our room.

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

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: It was great to be able to have porridge as a choice, staying at other places that is often not an option, the breakfast was delicious. the setting and the service were top notch. Being able to choose your own rather then having a menu to choose from was great, thank you. We both loved it.

Miinukset: We were there for a rest and were so grateful for the lovely surroundings, there wasn't anything we didn't like. We had had a stressful year with losing a close family member to a terminal illness and needed time away to regroup, great surroundings to do that in. Thank you again..

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: A wonderful place to stay and Chris and Geoff made you feel so at home, I would recommend to all. Definitely a return visit is planned.

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

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: the hosts are very welcoming and the room is a very high standard the home made breakfast was excellent and they were a pleasure to talk to

Plussat: The bed was super comfy! Filter coffee was surprisingly good too!

Plussat: Location good

Miinukset: It needs a small side table next to arm chair for u to put drink on ,,,and a long mirror and a hook in bathroom so u can hang your clothes when showering

Plussat: Cleanliness of room/bathroom was excellent.

Miinukset: Small room/bed

Plussat: Pool!

Miinukset: Creaking of the lockwood room

Plussat: I loved my stay at Kerikeri Homestead Motel. The rooms were really good and the location was really well placed. Right near the town centre. Would recommend to anyone wanting to stay in Kerikeri.

Plussat: Attention to details and amazing breakfast.

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: the most wonderful location,perfect for relaxing. A truly Beautiful property. Matsuo was an excellent and very welcoming host. I only wish i could have stayed for longer. The care for detail and presentation was exceptional. My room and the lodge were extremely clean. The breakfast was very enjoyable, with options for everyone. i would highly recommend staying here. Just keep a very sharp eye out for the sign to the property when driving there, its easy to miss.

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: 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 stayed here after a 30 day tour. We wanted to stay at a place where we could make our own meals. i think we only made breakfasts. We wanted that and we got that. Much healthier. Our cottage was great. Enough away from other cottages to be private. Staff exceptionally friendly and helpful. Grounds lovely. Even saw Kiwis. on the grounds. Location is great for getting to places in Kerikeri or nearby communities.

Miinukset: Pool could be bigger. Big enough to play in but not realy big enough to swim laps.

Plussat: Beautiful setting and v welcoming staff. Great bbq - kids had fun on the kayaks too. One of my kids left her wash bag behind - the hotel emailed and we arranged collection. Brilliant.

Miinukset: We stayed two nights - would have been nice to have the bathroom shampoos etc replenished. One little bottle didn’t last four us for two days.

Plussat: The location is right off the main road and nice peaceful setting.

Miinukset: The bathroom was not cleaned when we arrived and we asked the staff to clean it which they did. However, there was a distinct smell of urine in the bathroom which lasted through our whole stay. The plates available for use were also dirty and needed to be cleaned before we used them.

Plussat: It is a hidden treasure that takes you far enough away from the main road to be close enough to town, yet far enough away to feel like you are in your own private oasis.

Plussat: The natural pool was a bonus.

Miinukset: Shower needed cleaning and soundproofing could have been better.

Plussat: Location was great and staff were friendly

Miinukset: Bed was so noisy it was hard to sleep. Spa had a thick line of scum. Rooms weren’t serviced for 5 days although we were told they would be.

Plussat: Good friendly people

Miinukset: All was good

Plussat: Location was great and a spacious family room

Miinukset: The owner kept walking around our apartment on his phone - so not much privacy and made it a little awkward. And - as a family - would be nice to have a TV in one other room instead of just the lounge.

Plussat: Great staff and owner. Very helpful. Great location

Miinukset: McDonald's 24 HR drive through next door was a little noisy at night.

Plussat: Locality, lovely unit, great staff

Plussat: The location was great, and being able to watch live sports on the TV really made my stay very enjoyable.

Miinukset: Having to reset the alarm clock was a bit troublesome, but I got it done in the end.

Plussat: Good location, good pool and service was good too

Miinukset: I am very scared of roaches and bugs and my son, allergic. We were not very pleased in finding the bugs in our unit. The bugs weren’t that tiny too. Big, really big bugs. On Our second day we all had itchy feet

Plussat: Good location in KeriKeri very close to all of the shops and cafes but still very quiet.

Miinukset: WiFi did not work

Plussat: Everything! The owners are great to deal with, the property is very well designed and very well appointed. A marvellous stay

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Beautiful, quiet villa in a beautiful setting. In a quieter location but still very close to Paihia. Provisions for breakfast and many snacks were provided. We would definitely stay here again.

Plussat: Everything

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: I loved the bed, the facilities, the cleanliness and the location. The owners are lovely and very helpful people. The place is very peaceful and overall great value for money. I would highly recommend to stay here and would definitely do so again myself.

Miinukset: The breakfast situation was tricky as when we ran out of stuff it wasn't clear how to get more, and they seemed to have forgotten our 3rd adult guest that we booked for.

Plussat: Excellent luxurious appliances, fittings and linen. Great array of breakfast provisions

Miinukset: Would have preferred the milk and bread to be topped up after 2 days. Granted the option of requesting same was available

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.

Miinukset: Poor WiFi, I was warned, but it couldn't connect at all!

Plussat: Quiet

Miinukset: No soap or hair shampoo in shower

Plussat: Accessible to town walking distance! Great.

Miinukset: Motion sensor lights for parking area would be good.

Plussat: This was central to all kinds of places to visit and tour. We liked the common kitchen space where we could cook full meals and eat them in the patio area outside. Very central to many town places and the Sat morning market was excellent. Lots of restaurants within walking distance. The king sized bed was huge! And comfortable!

Miinukset: The weather, which was beyond control of the owners!

Plussat: The location was great

Miinukset: Booked 6 mths ahead. Requested & had confirmation of garden rooms - especially because we have a toddler and also wanted better aesthetics than a gravel road with cars going past frequently. Checked in to find there were no garden rooms available. Weather was hot while we were staying. No fan in our room. Asked reception for a fan - they didn't have any spare! Staff generally not very helpful.

Plussat: Everything. It was a mistake in the amount they charged my credit card and they sort it out completely.

Miinukset: Nothing

Miinukset: Hard to access wifi. When possible appallingly slow
