    Fantastic space with everything you need for a weekend away. The property was squeaky clean and to top it off had an excellent host! Great location right behind a cafe and walking distance to so many other options. Thanks for our stay

    Super comfortable, private, spotlessly clean. Amazing hosts, walking distance to one of the best cafes in Kerikeri (in our view), great locations minutes from the city centre. This one is a real treat.

    Spotlessly clean and stylishly decorated. Lovely sunny living area and blackout blinds in the bedroom for a deep sleep. The bed was also comfortable.

Kaingarua retreat is a loft apartment set above the garage and separate from the main house. Is warm and private with easy access via a flight of stairs with a hand rail. You have your own entrance with secure parking free of charge. Wake to the sound of bird song, in a private secure setting.
We are friendly hosts, well travelled and happy to engage with you based on your needs and requested level of interaction. Always happy to make recommendations , whether sites to visit or where to get the best food in town. We have two friendly cats, who know not to visit you unless invited to do so.
One of the best cafes in Keri ( in our view) is right next door - The Rusty Tractor - to enjoy breakfast or great coffee, dinner is available on certain days. Our property is very close to the airport and Marsden Winery. The local markets are less than a 10 minute walk, with fabulous food available at the Friday Night market. Driving distance to Kerikeri township is 3 minutes.
