Such a beautiful place to stay! Was so nice waking up to the birds singing and the sun rising. The lodge was so amazing and the beds were very comfortable.

Spacious room with own balcony but also the run of lovely living room and kitchen walking distance to a gorgeous waterway and anchorage that could be in the West Country of the UK including the oldest colonial era home in Nz alongside a Māori meeting house and war canoe. Great restaurant less than 5 minute walk!

The location is very peaceful and quiet with lots of bushland and native bush very close by. It is within walking distance of the Stone Store and three lovely restaurants plus a waterfall. It is in need of a good tidy up regarding staining of outside timbers, cobwebs and spiders within the rooms, curtains are stained and some are ripped. There is a great communal area and kitchen with breakfast items supplied. The host is very friendly and helpful. I would stay here again because of the location more than anything else.

Yes the curtains had been overlooked and we appreciate the feedback. They are in the process of having some love and care.Living in the bush means the daddy longleg spiders do sneek into the rooms. They are harmless and sometimes my lovely cleaning lady does not get to them as she should. We apollogise. The staining is work in progress, perfection is not our main goal, but to provide cheerful relaxed accommodation in a great location.

Had an absolutely lovely one night stay here- property is absolutely stunning and the room was nice too. There’s a great place very walkable from here too that has a nice restaurant as well as pizzas around back that our host recommended and it was delicious.

Lovely stay in Kerikeri
This is an amazing property to stay in. It is the 2nd time we have stayed here. We had a gorgeous room looking out to nature and was 1 of 3 rooms available. Our room was warm with the heat pump, the bathroom is modern too with heated tiles on the floor and lovely accessories for the shower. There is a gorgeous common area with books to read and nice sofas to relax on. Big kitchen to make breakfast in the morning with everything supplied. We love it here and will definitely be back. Best of all it is quiet.

A nice place to stay, quiet, peaceful . Only disappointed with amount of spiders and mosquitoes in our room and some windows covered in cobwebs on the outside, not a good look ! !
Stayed 1 night in Sep 2020
Response from Richard on 5 Sept,2020
Thanks for your review. Yes the Spider webs out side are an issue and yes needed to be cleaned away. Joys of living in the bush I guess. All rooms have mosquito mesh incluing the outside door. If shut before sunset then they will not enter. If one does, there are some weapons asupplied to deal with them. There is the odd Daddy long legs spider that ventures in. Perhaps the cleaner had delt with them as i did not see any.Have a good day Regards Richard

Great location near historic Stone Store, in a forest setting, near tracks for walking to waterfalls. Very tasteful, comfortable lodge. We had read great reviews about Richard, the owner/host, but he was away on holiday. Izzie filled in for him wonderfully!

Quiet elegant spot
Right off the plane from Canada, we were looking for a quiet place to rest, yet also enjoy the environment. Turned out to be perfect! Spacious well-appointed bedroom looking out through large windows onto a sub-tropical hillside. Excellent breakfast accommodating to your gluten-free and dairy-free diets. Helpful friendly owner and staff. Good restaurants a short walk away. Could not recommend it more highly
