We were looking for a property situated in middle of Bay of Islands area..... We found this one and was a bit concerned at how low the price was.
Pleasantly surprised, rustic outside, impeccable inside, very.clean and all facilities needed, we stayed three nights and highly recommend.

We booked this accommodation because it was described as a "country lodge" at Kerikeri. Neither was really correct. The motel was in a very remote location - hard to find on the maps because it is not at Kerikeri. It was a very old motel that the current owners may be trying to rescue but at the moment it is wrong to describe it as a "lodge".

The Country Lodge was perfect for a base for our trip. The staff were really friendly and helpful. The room was spacious and comfortable. Nice firm bed. Good area to sit outdoors. Our room was very clean. There is road noise but it didn’t bother us at all.

Interesting themed accommodation. Friendly owner. Comfortable spacious unit apart from beds which were a little lumpy. Kitchen stovetop and some of the other minor points need upgrading. Horse, goats, sheep and pigs in paddock made us laugh. Pleasant stay. Thank you for your service.
