Kerigold Secluded Chalets Motel

Kerikeri

Featuring barbecue facilities and views of garden, Kerigold Secluded Chalets Motel is set in Kerikeri, 21 km from Opua Forest.

It is really a little secluded and though so close to the main street and thus to downtown Kerikeri. You have your own parking right in front of the cabin, which makes it so comfortable to pack and unpack without limitation. Great to have a kitchen and all necessities around. You couldn't really ask for more. Sarah, the host, is absolutely amazing as she tries to help in every way, whether it's for a trip to do or for dinner/lunch possibilities. The one she suggested was amazing and due to my short stay, I couldn't try all of them.

Michael was very friendly in receiving us and we were offered free kayaking which unfortunately we didn't have time to experience it. The place has a beautiful view and stunning view of the waterfalls. We had a delicious dinner using the BBQ onsite. The location was near to the supermarket. We enjoyed our stay alot.

The cleansity, facilities and location of the motel were all fantastic! It's located right by the bay and in walking distance to shops, restaurants and the ferry wharf. Also, the Waitangi treaty grounds are right around the corner.

The Bounty was an awesome motel. It had everything we needed for a 2-night stay. Great cooking facilities, great shower, fantastic beds and was within walking distance to everything. The Bounty was our base while we visited the Far North of NZ, Russell, Waitangi and all around the area. So much to see.

The motel was in close proximity to the Saturday market and Makana chocolate factory- 2 of the more popular destinations in Kerikeri. The self- contained units were clean and spacious. The location was in a tranquil setting, surrounded by trees and park-like greenery. Staying in the motel puts one in a restful mode.

Cute motel with sea views from the balcony, as promised. Very comfortable inside, well laid out and clean. The kitchen amenities were top notch - good quality provisions, and even included ground coffee sachets for the plunger! Comfortable bed and lots of extra bedding, with a homemade quilt on top. There were lots of other homey touches throughout the apartment. I thought it was great value for money and a great place to base ourselves for exploring the Bay of Islands.
