Adrian was very helpful with local information. It’s an excellent location for exploring the north. We did the Cape Reinga coach trip from Kerikeri and got the ferry across to the beautiful Russell from Pahia. 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

A delightfully large self-contained two superking bedroom apartment overlooking the river and horse pastures, 5 minutes drive from the centre of Kerikeri.
Adrian and Sylvia are superb hosts - it's like going to stay with family not strangers. If you are interested in history at all, then you will love it here even more.
We will definitely be back to spend more time with them :) read less

The cottage has all the amenities we could want- is very spacious, comfortable and well equipped. Everything worked, which is not always a given in rental properties. It is near the town of Keri Keri, which has shops and restaurants, but is among just a very few houses down a longish track.
The hosts, Adrian and Sylvia, live in their house just nearby, and have been superb hosts. We could not have been made more welcome. They are full of suggestions of places to visit and have been really helpful when we've had any queries.
Wouldn't hesitate to recommend this cottage to anyone. read less
