    “The property is so lovely and tranquil, you’d think you were at a rural retreat but you are actually just a short drive from the main street of Kerikeri …with plenty of restaurants and cafes close at hand. The cabins are very comfortable and have everything you need. We enjoyed relaxing on our balcony just listening to the waterfall and watching the ducks. This is a family owned business and the owners are kind and super helpful. Highly recommend.”
