I had arranged a late-night walkabout adventure to seek out kiwi in the wild and needed a place not far from where we'd be going. It was nice to discover Penny & Richard's place, which suited perfectly. From the initial communique to staying in touch as we got closer to their home, Penny answered queries quickly. We arrived to a warm welcome into a comfy, super-clean, pleasant space (2 bedrooms, private bathroom) filled with Ricard's lovely paintings. After a short visit, my family departed for a fabulous nighttime adventure (and we saw 7 kiwis!) returning well after midnight. We slept in, and were pleasantly surprised at the delicious continental spread, with fresh fruit & cereal, Penny had for us. Their home is very close to Kerikeri favorites, like the Stone Store, Rainbow Falls, and town; you couldn't ask for a better location with such super hosts!
