Of all the places we've stayed on our NZ trip, Nan's place was our favorite! (Unfortunately, it was also the shortest stay!) From the clear instructions, to letting us know the place was ready earlier than standard check-in time, to the lovely little garden patio ... from the crisp and clean linens, to the beautiful painting by our artist-hostess, to the well-equipped room with special touches suck as breakfast basics, it was a complete pleasure staying at Nan's. Nan herself was friendly and welcoming, checking in on us when she got home. I wholeheartedly recommend her place as a hub for anyone exploring Kerikeri and the Bay of Islands. Do yourself a favor and stay several nights. 😊
