We had the most wonderful stay with Dave and Christina in their beautiful home. We stayed 4 nights and could easily have stayed longer. The accommodation was fantastic. We had our own small lounge with TV, tea and coffee making facilities as well as a small fridge with its own mini bar. There was a separate toilet and bathroom both of which were clean and bright. Excellent toiletries and all the little extras like a hairdryer and Radox. The bedroom was a good size and we had wardrobe space if needed. All the linen was fresh and of great quality. Dave and Christina could not have been more hospitable . They made us so welcome and were really helpful in assisting us with things to do in and around the Kerikeri region. Breakfast was great and the fact that it was eaten overlooking their beautifully manicured garden meant that we often wanted to just sit there and do nothing! We had take away food on a couple of nights after full on days out and about and they were more than happy for us to bring this through to the outside breakfast area. They even joined us for some white chocolate and raspberry ice cream! We loved the Kerikeri area and would recommend this as a base for anyone. The town itself is pretty and it is a great place to explore the bay of islands and further north. Truly, if you are looking to travel around this part of New Zealand then I would not look any further than The Music House. You will be treated to wonderful hospitality and no doubt a tune or two on the piano from Dave.
