Clean. Comfortable and convenient

My friend and I really enjoyed our stay, as the property was clean, comfortable and convenient . Shopping was not far away, as were the tourist sites and several golf clubs. The chooks provided added entertainment and the shower was something special.

Quiet Country Location

From the day we arrived to the day we left the property Pam, Rob and the family dog plus the hens were all very friendly especially to our 2 grandchildren who stayed with my husband and i on the last day. The studio blew me away with its rustic art pieces and wall pictures. The pottery was also something worth looking at. After arriving from Auckland where life can be fast it was a pleasure to come into the country where everything is green, clean and healthy and quiet. The unit was especially inviting so clean and accommodating. We were close to most places we visited. The children enjoyed following the hens around the paddock. Playing with the family dog and swimming by the Bridge on Landings Rd. They splashed and jumped into the water that was only waist-high if you are 5 years old. We would definitely come back again.

Relaxing rural outlook for your Kerikeri holiday

The perfect studio room for a couple to relax. Private, quiet, rural outlook, very clean and comfortable. Short driving distance to the Kerikeri town centre and to tourist destinations. A half hour drive to Kaikohe to hire ebikes to explore the coast to coast bike trail. Highly recommended!

Relaxing in Kerikeri.

This large studio unit is really comfortable, clean and cosy. The morning sun streams in making it a pleasant place to stay in the cooler months. The location in the country, but only 7 minutes from Kerikeri, is quiet and private. Hosts, Pam and Rob are close by with advice if required. We stayed two nights but would love to have stayed longer. An added bonus for us was being able to charge our EV over night.

Nice long weekend away

We had a good time staying here, the orchard aspect was very nice and it had all the things we needed to cook. One downside was being left without power for most of one of the days we were here and on the other days, had minimal hot water so were having cold showers. The hosts were lovely and the location is great, comfy bed and a huge TV. Thanks for having us.

Tranquility

If you're looking for tranquility while on holiday then the Boat House is a must. It has everything you need and is only a short easy drive to the city. Pleasant decor. Great water pressure in the shower which was awesome after long hot walks. Added bonus was meeting Ted (new puppy). Pamela and Rob were very welcoming and friendly. Would highly recommend and one day hope to be back.
