We have travelled quite a lot in NZ and this is a really high standard, very clean and lots of kitchen equipment. Beautiful wooden floors, lots of space and 2 modern bathrooms; but also very unique and historic with many carriages, cars, horses and other animals to amuse the children. Very friendly welcome from Adrian who was available to answer questions at other times. Amazingly generous on our last morning when he agreed to take us out in his horse-drawn carriage - a real experience. Great location (you'd need a car to get into the centre of Kerikeri and restaurants etc, although we did a nice 20 minute country walk to the Stone Store), very peaceful and lovely views from the slightly elevated position of the apartment. We stayed 4 nights then went over to Hokianga for the rest of the week, which was a great combination, although there's plenty to do around Kerikeri and wouldn't get bored if staying a week or longer. read less

The apartment is peaceful, tastefully decorated, warm, spacious and spotlessly clean.
We enjoyed a special stay for our Opal wedding anniversary and loved the horses and seeing the carriages working. Our dog enjoyed romping about the fully fenced paddock beside the property.
Adrian and Sylvia are very welcoming and hospitable. A+ accommodation. read less

It's an easy drive to so many things that although we stayed for 3 nights we just couldn't do everything. We ate in Kerikeri, played in Pahia, drive to Russell and still had plenty left to see. Staying above Adrian's wonderful collection of carriages was amazing and being surrounded by peaceful paddocks full of carriage horses, birds of all sorts and bunnies overlooking Kerikeri Inlet was wonderful. A definite highlight of our trip in the Bay of Islands. Wish we could have stayed longer. It ha everything your need and the most wonderful host. Thanks very much Adrian if it's at all possible we will be back!!! read less

The owners, Adrian and Sylvia could not have been more helpful and their knowledge of the local area was extremely useful. We had good weather and particularly enjoyed sitting out on the deck in the evening for our meals. A highlight of our stay was a ride in the horse drawn carriage – what a wonderful experience that was. A stay in this beautiful place is highly recommended. read less
