About this cottage rental

Welcome to Burdy's Nest in the gorgeous Bay of Islands.

Our property is set in a rural location located 20 minutes north of Kerikeri, with 2 acres of gardens, fruit orchard, chicken run & a large grass paddock. The bach is a converted studio located at the back of Richard's sail loft with its own private, fully fenced garden – perfect for your pooch to hang out in.

Here are a few basics about Burdys Nest to tempt you to visit us!

• 1 bedroom, private self-contained bach with a large deck and fully fenced enclosed garden. Stunning view over the valley through to Bay of Islands in the distance.

• Comfortably appointed, providing everything you need for your holiday – just bring your own food & you are set to go. We provide all cotton linen, towels, fully-equipped kitchen with microwave, bench top oven, electric frying pan, 2 burner stove top, air fryer, dulce gusto coffee pod machine, fridge with small freezer, BBQ, outside & inside dining, TV with free view & a chrome cast, there is a good selection of DVDs and a library of reading books & magazines for guests to enjoy, I-pod / CD stereo, comfy lounge area, ensuite with shower.

• Free WIFI for guests to check their emails or research the next day’s adventure.

• A house trained, well behaved & friendly dog is welcome to the bach & we hope our labrador Paige makes a new best friend. In order to protect Paige, if your dog is reactive to other dogs we ask that you find alternative accommodation (this is after poor Paige got a bite from a visiting dog ). We ask that you bring their bed with you and to let us know when booking that you are bringing your 4 legged friend with you.

Winter is a great time to visit the ‘Winterless North’. The weather over winter in the north can be gorgeous, with warm t-shirt wearing days and cooler cosy nights. With the heat pump to warm up the bach on those winter nights, we are a perfect place for a winter break.

We should really introduce ourselves – we are the Burdy's as our friends have nicknamed us (our surname being Burdekin). We comprise of Richard (a property manager for a private holiday home) and Kate (does the accounts for a local trucking company) plus Paige (our super friendly golden Labrador) and our brood of pet chooks (who rarely lay any eggs but are lots of fun). We live on the property so usually around to help with directions,
advice on where to go to eat etc or generally for a chat.

We look forward to welcoming you up to our slice of paradise.
