Keri's place was our base to explore the northern part of Northland. It is convenient to the town for your everyday needs and most of Kerikeri's hotspots. In fact Keri had put together a very comprehensive folder of local attractions as well as suggestions of the outlying towns. We appreciated her personal suggestions for eating outlets, walking tracks, beaches etc. A plus was to be 'adopted' by the other 'residents' on the property i.e. her dogs (Jac and Nomad), 1-2 cats, 10-12 chooks and the visiting birdlife. There is also a pool (we did not use it because of our schedule). Maybe, next time?
