We had the best time staying at Fiona's in Kerikeri! The town is great with lots of free things to do, including Charlie's rock, where we went for a swim like the locals do per Fiona's recommendation. The place is very clean and there's lots of space and we really utilized the spare room that was full of books and brochures on places to check out. We highly recommend staying here, great space, close proximity to Bay of Islands and Paihia, as well as plenty of other north island beaches.
