Stay Kerikeri

Just returned home after having two nights at 'Stay' and loved it. The rooms and grounds are so well presented. Thankful to receive upgrade . Very spacious and well equipped apartment. Beds/pillows were excellent The owner was super welcoming showing us to the room and providing info re where to dine. Would gladly rebook when visiting Kerikeri

Highly recommend. Super friendly, helpful owners. Gorgeous, extremely comfortable, quiet place in a convenient location. Lots of lovely personal touches as well, for example, the complementary Max coffee from local company which was delicious.

We stayed as a family (2 adults, 2 teenagers) in a 2 bedroom unit. First, what we didn't like: I thought it would have been a little larger going by previous reviews. The lounge had a 2 seater couch and a big chair but one of us had to sit on a kitchen chair to watch tv which was not that comfortable. It was a bit of a squash for 4 of us. The mattress of the queen bed in our room had seen better days. It was quite thin as far as comfort goes. The fridge was tiny and if we put anything in the door storage, it fell out when we opened the fridge. The unit looked out to trees and bushes so there was privacy but there was a really bad smell coming from the garden. I understand they recycle the wastewater. What we liked: It was very quiet at night which was a plus and the unit was serviced every day with new towels etc. The bedrooms were spacious enough and the whole unit was clean. I wouldn't stay here again though as there were too many negatives and when we arrived the owner just seemed obviously eager to get our money as if they were afraid we were going to hop back in the car and leave again!

This was a lovely surprise - reasonably priced accomodation in a renovated motel. The unit was sparkling clean and the decor was fresh and welcoming. The room had all of the amenities you’d hope for and the kitchen was well equipped. Bedding was nice too and we had a couple of chairs on the small verandah. The location was quiet - backing on to bush and close to town. Each unit has its own car park.

I loved everything about my stay at Stay Kerikeri, wonderful hosts, beautiful room, fabulous location and comfortable bed (and pillows). It was so good to be able to jump into the pool at the end of a long day. I hope to get back one day!

Everything about Kerikeri Boutique Apartments was enjoyable and of a high standard. Beautiful garden setting surrounded by bush. Good access to Kerikeri town. Great pool setting and comfortable rooms The service was exceptional beyond anything I have experienced, even compared to international 5-star hotels. Staff went far beyond normal services assisting when I was having difficulty with airline flights. They also shared local knowledge of interesting things to do, so I could enjoy an unplanned extension to my trip.
