Dave and Christina are sensational hosts. Their home is immacate and set in a beautiful location. The B&B itself is pretty self contained with a bedroom, bathroom and sitting area with TV. We had our own fridge with tea and coffee. We had our breakfast on the patio overlooking the garden. It was always ready when we asked for it and was nicely presented. Laundry facilities were available, but we did not need to use them. Christina and Dave made us feel so welcome, but did not intrude. They would often join us for tea after breakfast or invite us for a drink when we returned in the evening. They both know the area well and were able to steer us to interesting places we would not have found ourselves. Christina had also had taken the trouble to create an information book on the area with brochures that we could take. This was very helpful when planning our time.
Now for the fun part..It is called The Music House for a reason: Dave is an accomplished musician. We were treated to a wonderful jam session the evening before we left...on the grand piano and on a superb keyboard. My husband also loves music and so enjoyed the conversation about music and musicians. I took a couple of videos and I will treasure them. I discovered that Christina and I have several things in common as well. I feel that we made new friends and I hope we manage to keep in touch. We stayed for nights and it really was the highlight of our trip. We highly recommend this B&B and the town of Kerikeri, which is a true gem!
