The cottage was so lovely and peaceful being set in extensive gardens and well away from the road. It was also close to many natural attractions - lots to explore around this area. A couple of foot stools or easy chairs would make it more comfortable for lounging at night.

Thanks for great review Wendy. Hope you managed to see all the gardens. Stunning time of the year at the moment.

The standalone cottages are lovely, looking over the beautiful gardens. The musty smell was not so pleasant … maybe time of the year?? We also had a wonderful meal at Maha and could just stumble back to our accommodation. I do apologise for the red hair dye. I know that it just washes out but I would not normally stay around from home so soon after having it done.

Hi Anon, Yes, we have had soo much rain...evening being mentioned on the 6pm news! The aircon/heatpump (in every cottage) helps with the moisture. The "Garden of National Significance" is enjoying the rain though. Aren't we so lucky having such an exceptional restaurant in our backyard!

Thanks anon, yes there are 5 acres of "Gardens of National Significance" created by my father here, as well as an art gallery, sculpture trail and wonderful restaurant.

What a beautiful place! Such a friendly environment, wonderful food & very accommodating (we asked for a fair bit of assistance) we felt right at home & didn’t hesitate to make another booking before we left. Very fairly priced. I’ve already recommend to other travellers and will continue to do so. Thanks for a lovely stay & see you soon!

Loved the trees and birds. Loved the remoteness of the cabins. Thought the unit needed some updating.

Hi Anon. Thanks for your review. All the cottages are slightly different. As you didn't post your name or what you thought might need upgrading it is difficult to respond. Glad you enjoyed our special space.

It is a beautiful place to stay, and absolutely fullo credit to the Booth family for what they have achieved. The restaurant on the site is a beautiful location for a meal. I do think that the Sculpture trail is not of a good standard. Staying guets do not pay to do the trail, but it does not warrant a charge anyway.

Hi Anonymous We are glad you enjoyed your stay with us. We do not expect all people to understand or appreciate all the art works (which change regularly) but hopefully most will take the time to think about what the artist (of which most of whom are internationally recognised) is questioning. The catalogue of the 40+ artists which people take around with them can help with this. (Maybe you didn't pick one up from the ticket office?) If not we hope that the plants in the 5 acres of award winning gardens (NZGT) are not so challenging for all people to enjoy.

Beautiful setting

Pros: Everything
Cons: Can't think of anything. Kerikeri is so full of history. Plenty of information about the attractions in each cottage.
Lovely people who own the gardens and cottages. All so clean and comfortable. Middle of winter and the cottage was so warm. Just loved it 🏡💒
