About this property
Perfect Getaway to the lovely Kendall Cottage Kerikeri
Relaxing sunny and newly decorated lovely 2 bedroom cottage. We are situated in the beautiful Bay of Islands town of Kerikeri - we call our paradise! Our gorgeous cottage sits in a beautiful idyllic and peaceful area away from the centre of town, even though its only 5 minutes away! Even though we are in a rural setting, you will still find lots to see and do, with just minutes away from The Parrot Place, the famous historic Kerkeri Stone Store, cafes, restaurants, shops, supermarkets, beauticians, beautiful bushwalks, waterfalls, galleries and much more. This is a great space for you to bring along your family of little ones (or gown up ones), or for a couples getaway, or with a group of friends. It’s even a popular spot for working away from home in Kerikeri - spoil yourselves and stay somewhere you will enjoy coming back to at the end of the day! Make this your base for visiting family and friends in Kerikeri, or while here to see more that the winterless northland has to offer! Warm in winter or cooled down in summer with an air conditioning heat pump. Lovely sun-soaked deck for enjoying a glass of wine while the BBQ is getting ready or just sitting back with a good book that you've been dying to have time to read, and listen to the plentiful bird life. Another bonus is we are only 2 minutes from a good boat ramp, so bring your boat! Filleting table is ready and waiting for that big catch! Oh, don't forget that good sleep! Our beds have quality hotel cotton linen and Bambillo mattress toppers to add that extra comfort. Also in each bedroom are blackout blinds, so you get to have a wee sleep in and fingers crossed so do the kids!
There are great swiming holes, beaches and a school public pool not too far away.
Your own access is down a driveway to the tree lined hideaway of Kendall Cottage.

Fantastic location for exploring Kerikeri - 20 minute walk to wonderful gastropub (Plough and Feather) via the scenic Stone Store gardens.Spotlessly clean and well appointed, comfortable and welcoming accommodation.The kids loved having a trampoline and outdoor toys in the garden which felt really private. Linda was a really communicative and helpful host - thank you so much for providing a really wonderful home from home!
Beautiful property, loved the peaceful setting and convenience to so many local attractions. Our kids loved the outdoor area, perfect place to come back to and relax after a busy day sightseeing. Linda was so welcoming and we had an amazing holiday!
Thank you Linda we had a wonderful stay at Kendall Cottage Close to so many interesting things to do in the Bay of Islands !Everything was Five Star and we highly recommend this property for comfort and privacy and beautiful surrounding!
We found the cottage to be well appointed, warm and welcoming. It is close to the Te Araroa trail and we were able to enjoy a drink by the river at the end of our section walk, then wander back to the cottage for dinner and a good sleep!
This is such a great spot to spend time relaxing. Refreshingly clean, tastefully decorated, beautifully furnished - everything we needed was there. The cottage itself was plenty spacious for two, and then having the covered deck as well as lots of garden to enjoy - bonus! Hosts were welcoming and hospitable. This is a real gem.
Spotless and extremely well equipped this is a lovely self contained house at the bottom of Linda’s garden. Definitely 5* Linda’s has thought of everything.
Quiet and perfectly positioned to explore the Bay of Islands area.
Linda was very attentive to our needs but not in the slightest intrusive.
Highly recommended with lovely walks into town and around the area in the bush and by the river.
We had a very nice stay here - comfortable and warm, and very quiet. We also appreciated the unexpected chocolates on arrival, and the very tasty fruit we were given from the orange trees all around the property. The only thing we didn't realise was that the pool wasn't very close to the cottage (actually closer to the owner's house) so we didn't use that. Overall, a nice place and we'd be happy to stay there again.
Kendall Cottage is an absolute treasure. Cosy, clean, peaceful yet super close to town and hot spots. Absolutely fantastic for kids with trampoline, cubby house, swings and large yard. Linda and her family were super helpful and made it even more special leaving out toys and books - very thoughtful. Highly recommend and couldn't fault it. We will definitely be back. The Millers :)
Fantastic and quiet location close to points of interests
Kendall cottage presents very well. It has all you typically would expect and then some more. For example, body wash and shampoo were provided as well. There is a dishwasher. All is up to very good standards. All is very well kept up, clean and it's also decorated very nicely, e.g. using flowers, there are small pieces to decorate the walls, colors, materials, all is very well done while still keeping it simple. One cannot other than feeling at home very quickly. If you are into hiking or running, there are tracks not too far, e.g. to Stone House or up to Rainbow falls and beyond. I'm definitely happy to recommend Kendall Cottage. Thank you, Linda and family for doing such an awesome job and making it available!
