We loved staying at Karen and Daryl’s place! The location is great - just a quick drive into Kerikeri and the local wineries and only 30 minutes to Paihia if you’re doing touristy things there. But honestly, after seeing the place and the gorgeous view (from the deck, bath and spa) you might want to cancel some of those plans and relax at home instead! Karen and Daryl were also lovely hosts who have put lots of care and thought into designing their space and ensuring our stay was 5 star! Would definitely recommend!
