The house has everything anyone would want, the view is spectacular and the location ensures that you relax. Denis was a wonderful host and helpful to any request or query. We also managed to catch a couple of good size snapper from the pontoon one evening, while sipping on a beer / wine. A truly magical spot. ##### Peter R.

You can just gaze at the view or wander endlessly through the gardens. Inside there is everything you need to throw a lavish gourmet dinner party. Sleeping accommodations are just as luxurious as all the other features. And I understand the fishing is quite good. ##### John M.

Would love to stay again. ##### Stewart M. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Rachel P. 10 Feb 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### You won’t believe it until you see it. My husband and I stayed in Kerikeri for three nights, two of which were accompanied by my cousins family of four. We made use of the main residence and cottage (which was great for the teenagers). I can’t say enough about this home - it is by far the best home we’ve ever stayed in. The views of the water are spectacular, and it’s incredible to have beach access so close to the residence. One of our most memorable experiences in New Zealand will be waking up to have breakfast with the neighboring sheep. Denis (the host) was gracious enough to provide a tour upon our arrival. He encouraged us to use the vegetable garden and all the amenities (dock, beach, speakers, etc). We used herbs and lettuce which tasted fabulous. Nothing in this home is done by accident - the quality is superior. The beds are firm, the decor is beautiful, and the bathrooms are very comfortable. We cooked every night and were impressed by the sharp knives, kitchen utensils, serving platters and accessories. I would highly recommend this home. My husband and I will absolutely be returning to this residence for a longer stay next time we are in New Zealand. ##### Rachel P.

The house is spacious, especially the comfortable living area with beautiful views of the Kerikeri Inlet. There are a few places to sit outside including a large covered deck with lots of sitting and bbq directly off the main living area. The house is extremely well equipped with everything you’d need for a very comfortable stay . The gardens and views are just beautiful . This is a very relaxing place with wonderful bird life. We had a boat with us and went fishing. It’s tidal in the inlet but we had a couple of great days out and Denis kept us well informed of how to get in and out of the inlet . The location is perfect if you’d like somewhere quieter amd relaxing and yet only a short drive to Kerikeri and beyond. We would highly recommend this holiday home. Thanks Denis and Christine for your warm hospitality and we wish you and your family all the best for the future. ##### Valerie J.

The home and garden are absolutely beautiful (the photos do not do it justice). The kitchen, living and dining are spacious with lovely views and the outdoor covered deck is perfect. The house was very well set up with everything you need - great to have enough towels and tea towels provided. The garden was simply gorgeous with interesting planting and some wonderful mature trees. We took our dog who had a wonderful time exploring and making friends with the donkey next door. We had two boats moored at the jetty, giving us access to the Bay of Islands fishing and sightseeing. The location is a bit outside Kerikeri which means it is very quiet and the houses are well located so that you feel like you have your own space. Highly recommended. ##### Annette S.
