The apartments were ideal for our family stay in Keri Keri. We had been travelling for a while staying in hotel rooms. it was nice for our kids to have a seperate room in the apartment and they slept the best here during our trip. It was nice to have some home comforts as well with the owners adding a box of toys for our toddler and wifi for our teenage daughter.

A lovely apartment with stunning views across the bay. Bob and Margaret were wonderful hosts, providing us with lots of useful information. We enjoyed the fresh fruit which was left for us and the beers in the fridge. It was great to relax in the hot tub at the end of the day enjoying the beautiful views.

November 2024 - We had an absolutely wonderful stay! The apartment was simply perfect: clean, comfortable, warm, and extremely functional. The view was truly enchanting; we couldn’t have asked for better! We were welcomed by Sopha and her father Théo, exceptionally kind hosts. It was a real pleasure to chat with them, and their hospitality made our stay even more enjoyable. We will definitely be back without hesitation! Once again, a huge thank you for everything! And Happy New Year 2025 ! Amaury & Justine - New Caledonia

Wonderful hosts with thoughtful gestures (homemade muesli, bread, brownies, flowers on the bed). The lodge was immaculate and spacious and peaceful. Easy to access the town and nearby attractions. Gallery on site. Anna was fantastic and assisted us with making reservations at local restaurants despite it being a very busy period.

Genuinely friendly, personal and warm welcome and farewell without being intrusive....outstanding customer service! Extremely spacious unit. Comfortably furnished meaning being able to relax and unwind was easy. Very well equipped kitchen. Spotlessly clean. Lovely that the heat pump and lights were on with curtains drawn ahead of our early evening arrival on a cold night. Quiet and private location. Throughly recommend staying here. I travel to Kerikeri several times a year for work and going forward this will be my go to accommodation.

Location was excellent - lovely view and plenty of sunshine in apartment!! Everything was exceptionally clean and bed was the most comfortable one experienced in years of travel. Reception was very welcoming and helpful. A huge plus was the restaurant next door (Blue Door, Paihia) One breakfast and two dinners during our stay were superb and added to a thoroughly enjoyable Paihia visit.

Everything, location outstanding , to sit out on the balcony overlooking the bay was truly memorable. Murray & Pam were exceptional hosts, very friendly and even supplied us an itinerary of beaches and places to see when visiting further north - and supplied beach towels & let us borrow chairs & umbrella Don’t miss fish & chips at Mangonui

We loved everything about our stay! Lovely hosts met us on arrival, so welcoming 😍 the photos of the rooms don’t do them justice. Perfectly clean and relaxing. Rooms cleaned when we went out and gorgeous to come back to with even the dishes done! The beds and pillows are luxury. Will be back there absolutely loved it. Highly recommend. We travel internationally and stay at 5 star always. This will meet your expectations and beyond.
