We loved John’s place and felt right at home from the moment we parked the car. John is a wonderful host with great communication who greeted us and ensured that if we needed anything all we had to do was ask. The cottage is exactly as described, a warm place to relax and unwind - all the trimmings of your childhood home with the excitement of getting away for the weekend. The property is beautiful, perfectly maintained and located in a great spot for anyone wanting to be in the middle of KeriKeri, without having to hear a peep from the outside world. Waking up to birds of all sorts roaming around the grounds was a wonderful way to start the day and John had the place ready hours earlier than we had planned to arrive which was lovely to know after a long drive up north. Definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a place to stay where a touch of home is valued.
