John has a small but cute little cottage in a beautiful location. He has a large and lovely garden which he was kind enough to let us look at.
All the amenities were clean, the bed was comfortable, we were warm with the heater and we had everything we needed. In the morning, a large flock of tiny quail were on the grass right outside the cottage front door making sweet little noises - they were adorable.
We were very close to the old stone store, the river inlet and walking tracks to a beautiful waterfall. It was also about a 6 minute walk to the Kerikeri shops.
We would definitely stay here again. A handy tip for other travellers - John shares a driveway with Stone Store Lodge.
