    Perfect location for access to all the sights in Kerikeri. Lovely little chalets surrounded by trees and birds. Room provided everything you needed and more. Fantastic customer service, and a complimentary drink upon arrival.

    From the bamboo tree tunnel entrance as you drive in, to the secluded feel of sleeping in a forest, this place feels really special. The front desk guy was amazingly welcoming, too. Complimentary beer on arrival? Yes please! I didn't jump in...
