The owners were incredibly kind, helpful and approachable. Their accessible suite was functional and still attractive. Soft beds, air conditioning, TV, modest but useful kitchenette facilities (sink, microwave, fridge, cooktop). Towels were washed every day and complimentary tea, coffee etc was provided, as well as some milk and a drink on arrival. The suite itself was beautiful, with high ceilings, and functionally laid out for its small size. The motel is easily accessible from town and right off the main road, yet situated amongst beautiful bushland and close to Kerikeri's attractions. I walked everywhere easily. Perfect level of privacy despite close proximity to quiet neighbours. Overall, I loved this accommodation and would stay here again!

The (beautiful) high loft window had no way to shutter it, which meant the light came in early in the morning. The water was somewhat opaque when hot, but I believe this is a feature of Kerikeri as a whole and no fault of the owners.

The location of the room was exactly as I pictured from online photos. The host was super friendly and welcoming. I have never been given a 'Welcome drink' anywhere else in Australia or NZ. The gardens are fantastic. Just loved it. Wished I'd stayed 2 nights. My colleague was so impressed that they said they'll now use this accommodation when travelling for work. Very clean, neat and homely.

Absolutely no complaints about the accommodation. The restaurant nearby was again friendly but very overpriced.

Great space for our family of 4, friendly welcome, a bit out of town but close enough, we didn't use the pool but the area was nice to sit out for sundowners.

Perfect in everyway, could not recommend this place enough!

this was the second time I have stayed at the property and enjoyed my visit once again the owners are delightful and welcoming great location to explore the area of Kerikeri

easy location, pleasant surroundings - lovely gardens, private bungalows

We had to early in the morning and had to leave the units unlocked with keys inside - a key drop box might be a good idea.

This is a great motel. The rooms are very comfortable especially the beds and Mark is a fantastic host. We loved the swimming pool and the location was perfect and really quiet. I will definitely come back next time I'm in Kerikeri.

Great location, friendly & hospitable staff and lovely motel overall.

Could be cleaner. Mould on the ceiling of the bathroom, spotted a couple of large cockroaches and cobwebs around.

Everything but we were both really taken with Mark our host who was so helpful and accommodating. A really nice person who went out of his way from the moment we arrived (two hours early) until the moment we left to make our stay memorable. Kiwi hospitality at it’s absolute best.

Excellent location easily found. Room decent size and well equipped..make up wipes, little extras, complimentary glass of wine, fresh milk supplied..all very good. Bed comfortable good linens and perfect pillows a bonus. Enjoyed our short stay, highly recommended. Even an electric blanket for the bed👍 air con👍

From the bamboo tree tunnel entrance as you drive in, to the secluded feel of sleeping in a forest, this place feels really special. The front desk guy was amazingly welcoming, too. Complimentary beer on arrival? Yes please! I didn't jump in the pool but it looked fantastic, and was heated. I would absolutely love to stay here again.

The unit is big enough with all the facilities you need. Beds are comfortable. The staff are super friendly and helpful. Very nice stay.

Given the downpour we arrived in we have good memories of this accommodation. The staff were v helpful and we got a good nights sleep. Would go back.

We liked it all

Friendly friendly staff, the smaller details like hooks in the bathrooms was well used and thought of, the cabinet work in the kitchen was to high standard - self closing, the gardens were well looked after and beautiful, certainly will be back again.

Leaving

Staff was very kind and room was renovated so everything was nice as well as spa bath. Cannot say anything bad for this room.

Pool was not clean.
