Lodges in Kerikeri

Magnificently appointed. Great internal space and comfort. Fabulous gardens and decks for BBQ and relaxation. Magnificent views and exceptional welcome from the hosts

Extremely nice and charming host, beautiful scenery, absolutely nothing we would have wanted more

This boutique B & B is as good as it gets for lodging for the Russell bound. Russell, set in an exquisite setting in the Bay of Islands is the oldest Anglo settlement in NZ. The Inn is slightly outside of the central town, easy walking distance to shops and restaurants. The views from the Inn over the bay are stunning especially at the extremes of daylight. Night time is Dark Skies and reveals the magnificence of the Southern hemisphere for the stargazer. Breakfast offers fresh fruits from their own orchard including bananas and plums and homemade granola. This is followed by made from scratch hot breakfast items, homemade breads and cakes. Excellent strong coffee is available to start your day, and juice. Our room was historically allotted to the “housekeeper” set apart from the main house with a private entrance and porch commanding great views of the bay. The Wi-Fi performed flawlessly; water pressure is good with plenty of hot water. However, Russell is in a drier area of New Zealand and dependent upon rainwater, so you are encouraged to be judicious in your usage and conserve to the best of your ability. There is an honor wine bar in the kitchen fridge with a mixture of local NZ wines available for purchase (by the Bottle) at very reasonable prices…NOT the usual markups that one encounters while traveling. The hosts Peter & Greg were outstanding in personality and knowledge of the local area making for an excellent respite in a great location

Absolutely everything. The owners are lovely, the location is wonderful, and the description isn’t hyperbole. Felt spoilt all the way through

Andy and Lynn are very welcoming and helpful. I really liked my private room with shared bathroom. Nice and bright and comfortable.

Location incredible Organised, clean and very aligned to description. Extra special care taken to make us feel so at home and so welcome. Best staff and always responsive and prepared to help with anything.
