4/10 Fair

Our experience with ‘Moongate villa’ was disappointing because on our 2nd day, some building works began next door which woke us up at 8.00am in the morning and the cement pouring and flattening machines started working. It’s no exaggeration to say that the whole of our building vibrated to the machines being used. As for the noise all of this created, it was horrendous! The owners of ‘Moongate villa’ agreed to give us 1 x night free of charge. Please confirm that you can refund us this back into my card by which I paid. Kind regards Sue Haugh

Hidden gem - “Over the Moon”.
What a surprise!! We had a lovely cottage bungalow which had everything you required and overlooked a beautiful garden. Our hosts Rob and Lionel were fantastic - we were greeted with such warmth from Rob, who suggested several sites for us to visit and looked after us so well.

Wonderful private stay
My husband and I had high hopes for our stay at Moongate Villas and they were fulfilled. Upon arrival it was lovely to see a Welcome sign for us and our wee puppy. Lionel greeted us, made us feel welcome and explained everything about Moongate. We had booked the separate summer cottage. Parking right outside. The cottage had a small bathroom - shower, toilet, vanity with luxurious towels, soaps, extras you could need. It had a kitchen/diner with microwave, sink, fridge/freezer, hotplate, coffee machine, crockery, cutlery etc. and open plan to a bedroom/lounge area. A nice couch, with flat screen tv, and a very comfortable bed and pillows. We had free wifi which worked well as well as Netflix, Lightbox, Plex = all great. This area opened onto a lovely deck with small table and chairs and two long comfy 'day beds'. From there we had a huge piece of private garden which our dog loved. We made use of the small solar heated pool during our stay and that was well kept. Continental breakfast is provided by way of a tray the night before consisting of cereals, fruit juice, toast, jams, fresh fruit and yoghurt. This was included in the price or you could pay an extra $15 each for a full cooked breakfast in the main house. Our hosts Lionel and Rob were excellent, friendly, helpful and made sure everything was perfect. We highly recommend this place (and we have stayed at a few hotels!!).

Genuine 5 star
I am usually sceptical when I hear that a B&B is 5 star, but was delighted to be proven wrong. Moon Gate Villa is better accommodation than a number of 5 star hotels that I have stayed in. On top of this, Lionel provides a superb spread for breakfast. The hosts also provide great insight into the best places to visit in the area and the best restaurants to dine at. Highly recommended for anyone visiting the area for a few days.

Moon Gate Villa is number 1
My Sister and I stayed at the Moon Gate Villa and we had the Deluxe Suite which Had 2 rooms that was comfortable and of excellent quality. We were welcomed with much Aroha from Rob and the very famous Mojo who plays a special role in welcoming guests when they arrive. Our Host was Lionel and he has a wealth of knowledge and experience pertaining to caring for their guests. We definitely got the 5 Star treatment which was a 10/10. For me as a guest i really appreciated it how the team had made our stay very special. We definitely thought it was so beautiful to have my name on a blackboard to welcome us at the Moon Gate Villa. Breakfast was incredible a banquet fit for a Queen we were definitely spoilt I want to thank you All so much for the 5 star treatment that we received it was definitely memorable If you are looking for the best don't look any further the Moon Gate Villa is number 1.

The hidden gem of Kerikeri
An amazing place to stay. A short distance into Kerikeri and to the Stone Store. Rainbow falls is only 10 minutes away. The staff made us feel as if we were a part of the family. The room was spacious. The breakfast was delicious. Toons of movies to watch and Netflixs.

Relaxing Moon Gate
We stayed in the cabin in garden which was spacious and self contained. We self catered breakfast the first day with provisions supplied which were plentiful and excellent. The second day we chose to eat in the main house. The breakfast here was generous to say the least, beautifully presented and thoroughly worth the extra cost. The gardens and setting at the moon gate are really beautiful and restful. Lionel's assistance and suggestions of where to dine for dinner were excellent. Overall a really excellent and relaxing holiday experience and would recommend the Moon Gate as a lovely indulgent destination. We would recommend this as a place for return visit for ourselves, friends and family.

Simply amazing
Wow, what a pleasant surprise upon arrival. The hosts, Lionel and Rob, were gracious, knowledgeable about the area, helpful in making suggestions for traveling/dinner/sightseeing/etc. The villa is absolutely gorgeous and the grounds are stunning. Although it rained for most of our stay in Kerikeri, we couldn't have had a better time. It was a great place to relax and unwind during our trip. It was obvious that our hosts LOVE what they do. We felt so welcomed and really hated to leave.
