Dragonfly barn
We spent a week visiting family. The cottage is lovely, clean, has a kitchen with all you need and a log heater which was cosy in the wet weather. Quiet with a nice outlook. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Happy weekend
Dragonfly Barn was such a good choice for us. It was clean and beautifully presented, included welcoming touches such as treats and attractive furnishings and offered views and surroundings that were impressive. As it was winter, we loved the wood burner and the supplies of wood etc to keep things cosy. We met Tracey briefly on arrival and immediately felt at ease. Really good accommodation!

Excellent!
This space has everything you need to live comfortably away from your own home. The house was clean and tidy and we'll laid out. It has enough rooms and space for 6 people. The views are amazing. The rural area is very quiet and every time you drive up to the property you immediately feel more relaxed. Thanks for having us. Will definitely be back again

Simply stunning!
Our stay at Dragonfly Barn was truly wonderful. We felt totally relaxed the minute that we arrived and the hospitality of the hosts was superb. The views and the surroundings are wonderful and the accomodation itself is of an excellent standard. We could not fault this property and we would highly recommend it to anyone wanting to visit KeriKeri, the surrounding areas and The Bay of Islands. We will definitely plan to return.

Great place to stay.
We had a lovely time at Dragonfly Barn. It had everything we needed and was very comfortable and cosy. Tracey and Phil were the perfect hosts and the goodies on arrival were much appreciated. The location is perfect, peaceful and quiet but just a short drive into Kerikeri and a perfect base for all that the area has to offer. We would definitely come back.

Perfection
We had the most amazing stay at Dragonfly Barn. It is perfect in every way. We wanted to get away from the city and the only thing you can hear here and see is nature at its finest. Tracey and Phil have really done an amazing job with this place everything well thought out and eco friendly. We didn't need anything and it's spotless! Super friendly and easy to communicate with 😊 We are definitely going to be back. Perfect place to be based while checking out the beautiful of Northland.

Perfect place to stay in Kerikeri
This was a pristine place in a perfect spot just out of Kerikeri town. We had everything we needed for our stay and a lovely welcome basket of treats on arrival. A lot of care has gone in to making Dragonfly Barn so nice, we couldn’t recommend it more highly. We really enjoyed our stay and hope to be back.
