    Beautiful, clean, modern, well appointed unit with the most friendly and accommodating hosts.

    The suit is immaculate, modern & tastefully furnished. It is immediately evident that the hosts are very experienced and ensure the highest standards are met - it looks brand spanking new & every detail seems to have been thought of. I nicked myself while shaving and there was even a box of plasters in the bathroom vanity draw. We slept late and decided to skip breakfast so we cannot comment - We loved the location privacy and quiet. There is also a power socket at the parking where it is possible to plug in your on -board charger if you have an electric vehicle.

    Really nothing to complain about.

    Very clean and tidy place. You feel home from the first second. Fully equipped kitchen. The furniture and especially the bed is far above standard. Very friendly hosts. Strong recommendation.

    This is an impossible question to answer as there is nothing I did not like. One could say it is remote, far from shops … but that for many of us is a bonus. My advice: go to the supermarket on the way and stock up before you arrive with whatever you need /want!

    Beautifully equipped and furnished property. Very modern, attractive design and layout. Everything you could possibly want in kitchen including stylish wine glasses. Nice aspect to room. Short walk to beach and coast. Spotlessly clean.

    A new venture that is wholeheartedly recommended.

    A dining table and chairs to add to the ones outside, some storage and hanging space in the bedroom and a selection of toiletries for the shower would take this accommodation up to the next level.

    The owners were very keen to be helpful and the accommodation was perfectly acceptable for our overnight stay. This is a new venture and still a work in progress but if you're touring round Kerikeri it will make a very good base. The kitchen facilities are already excellent and self catering is very straightforward. It's clear that it will get even better and is excellent value for money.

    Thank you Deb and Dave - we absolutely loved staying here. It had everything we needed and more. We even were able to use the bbq and washing machine/clothesline while we were there. The bed was also a good size and comfortable. Extremely good value for money in such a beautiful location. Would highly recommend the Wander Inn!

    From the minute we arrived we were treated like valued customers. The suite was lovely and modern and the area was great. The bed was comfortable and everything supplied worked well. The owners were lovely and really made our stay memorable. The location near the beach was terrific and the beach was lovely.

    Nothing to dislike the accommodation exceeded expectations especially at the very reasonable price. The only down point would be if you need supplies it's a round trip in the car it's not walking distance so be prepared.

    Absolutely everything. This spacious annex to the side of a modern home is fresh, spotlessly clean, well furnished with a big comfy bed. Your hosts Deb n Dave are kind and friendly and are on hand to help and advise on the area. Shop/food outlets are a drive away so come prepared if you stay more than overnight.

    The size of the bed was probably a little on the small size but however, we are rather large sized. We couldn't work the television but it wasn't a drama just would have been nice to watch something to unwind, perhaps some instructions and a little information about the area.

    The location was superb and our hosts Deb and Dave were very friendly and accommodating.

    This place is so amazing! The photos definitely don't do it justice. It is located perfectly between so many beautiful beaches a short walk to Rangiputa beach, a 15 min drive to Maitai Bay (a must visit) and only a short drive to Coopers Beach. The street is really lovely and peaceful, and Deb and Dave are the most wonderful hosts. We really were blown away buy the attention to detail, cleanliness and location! The Kitchenette is so well stocked with everything you would need to cook a delicious meal. The bathrooms are sparkling clean with little toothpastes and soaps available and the place is spotless! I would 100% want to return to this lovely place!

    The noise and the room is not as advertised. Also a ‘terrace’ is advertised which is not true. Not sense of safety or privacy. This should not be allowed, or atleast should be advertised that you will literally be sharing a room with other people with a sliding door as the barrier.

    It was clean
