J&D Cottage

Kerikeri

The guest house has a satellite flat-screen TV. The kitchenette features a microwave, a toaster and a fridge and there is a private bathroom with bathrobes and a hair dryer. For added privacy, the accommodation features a private entrance. We didn't have breakfast during our stay but next time will definitely take the opportunity. We were able to get a courteousy van from Homestead to pick us up and drop us off so we could enjoy a couple of beers. Lovely stay there and so thankful for the return of my phone. Great BnB John and Diane.
