"The receptionist was super friendly and the rooms were clean & bed was super comfortable. Definitely would stay here again"

"Absolutely fabulous place, the photos dont do it justice. Owner and staff were very friendly and helpful, place was immaculate, excellent value for money. Was able to use laundry facilities there too. Lovely town with all amenities would stay again in a heartbeat. Thankyou."

"My deluxe suite room, with spa bath, was just lovely. The view from the deck was of lovely trees, and you could see birds playing on the lawn. The whole room was spotless and furnishings were new and comfortable, especially the bed and pillows. The staff very friendly and helpful. Only 2km to Kerikeri shops and the weekend market was in walking distance. Would recommend."

"Loved the location."

"A very underrated hotel property. It was perfect for our visit. "

"Friendly staff very welcoming"

"A higher-end hotel and a great option if you don't want to be on the beachfront which is busy and probably noisy. "

"Uniqueness starts with being able to see Kiwi in their natural habitat! Each night they come out as well as an abundance of bird life, 55 types! Cabins have nice privacy and balconies. Big fridge in our 2 bedroom cabin, plenty of space and a comfy couch too! Pool has been just upgraded so brand new! Toy outdoor corner that kids loved! As it’s not the top ten holiday park type, it’s the quiet, nature and wildlife, beautiful mangrove and bush trails all walking distance! Main reception sell torches so you can watch kiwi come out and give good advice if you need help! Bring your badminton set, bring a ball, bring a bike or hover board and race around the big ground space!"

"Room was nice and clean. The pillows were super comfy, beds were too. Will stay again. "
