We had an amazingly refreshing two weeks at Gooseberry Hill Studio. We loved waking up to the sunrise streaming across the valley, and with the sounds of local bird life and chickens running around, we felt like we were in a completely different time and place, not downtown Kerikeri. We especially loved spending time with Keri's friendly dog (Nomad) and cat (Rita).
A couple of things to note: it does get a bit cold in winter, but the oil heaters work very well. Also, the curtains are a bit thin, so it's likely you'll be woken up by the sunrise whether you like it or not :)
The kitchen features everything you need, although the washing up space is outside.
We loved hanging out in the studio room which is right outside the bedroom, and we spent most of our time in here.
Keri was also an amazing, friendly host and her breakfasts were amazing.
All-in-all, we loved this place and would heartily recommend it to anyone.
