Great place to stay for a few days - even a historic place! The only thing I would suggest is having a barbecue.

Bay of Islands
The cottage was very clean, but a little tired. Not quite as convenient for accessing the Bay of Islands as we had hoped. Doug was helpful in providing directions, and with setting up the TV for us.

Beds very hard.
Lovely little cottage close to our event. Very clean and tidy. Everything we needed was there. Only issue was the poor quality of the beds. They were all very hard. The pull out trundler bed was only a mattress on the floor. We were a family group of 4 older people.

Nice little hideaway
Great property with everything you need. Very clean and well equipped. Comfortable enough for a family of 4. Plenty of info from the owner on what to do in the area and other Northland hotspots which were all within an hours drive. Would recommend as a place close enough to everything but still nice and quiet.

Some areas need attention
Overall a good place to stay, tidy cottage and the kitchen setup is great. Lots of positives to this place but a few downsides as well. The oven (which we didn't use) is in real need of a good clean. The armchair cushions need refurbishing, being the lumpiest and most uncomfortable things we've ever tried to sit on. Set in lovely grounds which are in need of a good tidy up.

Good-could be great
The grounds are full of beautiful flowering trees and bushes. In some areas a little tidy up would be good especially as you drive in and areas to the far side of the cottage. The host was very attentive to all communications we had with him. Having easy access to the washing machine was a big bonus.

The historical significance of the cottage made our 3 night stay all that more special when returning to Aotearoa for a short time. Our family of four enjoyed the peacefulness of the cottage while appreciating being able to access the amenities that Kerikeri and the local surrounds had to offer. We didn’t see our host Doug, but the communication before our arrival was fantastic and we felt welcomed.
