It was a beautiful quiet relaxing space.
No fault of the place and totally on me. I was given a choice between being by the pool or being by the main house. We picked the main house room which was lovely but if you want to be able to quickly see if the spa is empty and free then pick the rooms by the pool.

Lovely resort, with good size accommodation and good facilities, including hot tub and natural spring pool. The staff were very friendly and helpful, providing advice on the local sights and places to eat and drink. The bed was huge and very comfortable.
The road to the resort needs repairs which the owner is trying to do. With a little care it's not a problem.

Our host, Brad, was so so helpful! We arrived on our daughter's sailboat, and we didn't realize how far away from Avalon we were. We tried to get a taxi from the Kerikeri Boat Club, but couldn't. I called Brad and he came right out, driving 20 minutes to come and pick us up, and then he dropped us at the fabulous restaurant right across from the Stone Store in The Basin. Then he came back and drove us to Avalon. After our stay he drove us back to the boat club again. Above and beyond our expectations! AND, Avalon is amazing! It is a little paradise, with pools, a river, beautiful statuary, gardens. And the cottage was so very comfortable!

Quiet.Away from the main road, but very central.
The natural spring pool was refreshing.
It was a nice stay overall, however the whole place felt a little tired. I imagine the up keep on a place this big is challenging.It just needs a bit of TLC to bring it back to being gorgeous. The natural spring pool is quite small - the photos make it seem a lot bigger than it is. However, it was very pleasant.

Great location, set in beautiful grounds.
Cottage well equipped and spacious.
Staff very friendly.
Had to request a couple of items as they had not been refilled/changed before we checked in. Ie. Handwash in bathroom, fly spray in kitchen.
No flannels in bathroom.
These are only small things which didn't hinder our stay but something for staff to be aware of in the future.

The unit was beautiful, shady and private. There was a lovely little outdoors sitting area where we had breakfast.
It was very hot overnight but the air conditioning kept us comfortable.
The drive was a bit narrow.

It was a fabulous sanctuary, offering a sauna and natural spring-fed pool. We didn't use either of these but it was so beautiful and peaceful just being there. And a short walk down to the river. The whole area is really well maintained by a team of people. I would definitely recommend it to anyone going to Kerikeri.
The road to get to it is in need of a bit of attention, but it was drivable in our hired outlander.

A hidden treasure with the most beautiful setting of well maintained picturesque gardens. Our cottage was so adorable, spacious & well equipped with outdoor area - all we needed & more!! Added bonus for this accommodation was the kindest and generous owner & host, Brad. We attended a wedding and he offered to take us there and when we were a bit stuck for a ride back he offered to pick us up! I had been recovering from post op surgery and was hesitant to use bridal transport arrangements but Brads generous manner both on the phone in person was so kind! Thank you. 🙏We hope to return with our kids and family to make full use of all the facilities! Highly recommend this amazing accommodation and gracious welcoming host! I can see why it is popular for family and friends gatherings!! ✨✨✨✨✨

Very beautiful location, Customer service was awesome, pool area looked amazing but we didnt have time to jump in unfortunately, it was a short stay for us in kerikeri, the cabin was cute and warm, beds were awesome, was nice and quiet,
Cabin Earth. Even tho everything was beautiful, the kitchen and bathroom in our cabin was dusty. Bath tub needs a good clean, same with the kitchen,for the price I do expect a clean standard, i would book again and make sure to communicate a clean before check in and also try a different room😁location was stunning other then the cleaning issue loved the cabin.

The gorgeous gardens, the setting generally, was just so serene.
Room was very clean & well equipped. I must get one of those toasters for home!
The people in the next room were quite heavy on their feet. I was trying to go to sleep and could hear them clearly through the wall.
It was also easy to miss the entrance up on Kerikeri Road.

Beautifully appointed rooms and cottages. Loved all the thoughtful little touches and extras. Heaps of features for guests. Awesome people to deal with. What a gem!
We stayed right by the office and we could hear a pump regularly going on and off but honestly an amazing place to stay at.

The cottage was spacious, comfortable, nice and warm (for winter) and beautifully decorated. Stunning views and very private.
Steep driveway that needs repair, but the owner said that this is due to occur in the next couple of weeks.

Very well maintained and set out. Very quiet and great range of facilities. Very highly recommended.
If you had to say something here it would be the driveway in.

I understand it's very hard to maintain but the driveway could do with some work.
