About this house rental

Peace and Tranquillity is the perfect name for this calm retreat. Go out and about, exploring the Bay of Islands, and come back to a little piece of heaven every afternoon. Or spend whole days here, relaxing in the park-like gardens, rowing on the lake, or visiting the farm animals.

The holiday home is newly-built with modern comforts, but full of character and charm. All year round comfort is assured with log fire, heat pump and air-conditioning. There is plenty of space to park a boat and trailer, and easy access to public launching ramps around the bay.

We are centrally located to enjoy the wider Bay of Islands. Situated ten minutes north of Kerikeri, we are 35 minutes from Paihia and Russell to the South, and 35 minutes from Coopers Beach and Mangonui in the North. And there are many more interesting places to visit in between.

Following our move to New Zealand from the UK, we built a house for family and friends to visit so they could enjoy their own space and privacy. The initial rush is over, and we thought it would fun to welcome new visitors who could relax in our special holiday home.

EVERYTHING IS INCLUDED for your stay to ensure you have nothing to worry about. Free Wireless Broadband, A full SKY package, bedding, towels, cleaning and rubbish removal.

We welcome well- behaved dogs by prior arrangement at a charge of $15 per night.
We love having dogs come to stay, one or two, the more the merrier. Our own Boarder Collie Tui, is very people and dog friendly. The 12 acres of grounds are all fenced with an electric gate. There is a nice new conservatory so your dog can sleep inside safe and secure. We are happy to baby sit (only dogs, not children!) if you would like to go out for the day sailing or fishing in the bay of Islands, and can't take the dog.

    Steve & Dot (and we can't forget Charlie) were the perfect hosts. From the moment I booked, the communication from Steve and Dot was fantastic. On our arrival Steve greeted us with a very warm welcome and a roaring fire. The cottage was immaculate with every conceivable home comfort and we wanted for nothing throughout our stay.Charlie endlessly entertained our two dogs leaving us to relax and enjoy our surroundings.We were looking for peace and tranquility and this certainly delivered!We would highly recommend staying as you won't be disappointed.

    we had an amazing stay….. host couldn’t have been more helpful if they had tried harder. The family dog just made us so welcome and was so well behaved and a joy to have visit and tell us what he had been doing all day. Couldn’t recommend this stay more than I have to any couples or families…..just a delightful stunning spot. Well done Steve and Dot.

    Our family of 4 adults stayed 4 nights at Peace & Tranquility. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Steve & Dot were lovely hosts, made even better with Charlie the dog visiting us for pats & for us to play frisbee with him. Steve & Dot gave clear instructions on how to find their place & even offered to do a small grocery shop before we arrived in case we didn't have time on the way!The cottage was well catered, full cooking facilities & plenty of clean towels etc.The cottage was very clean & well maintained. We will hopefully be back in the future.The Ward family

    Lovely, peaceful setting, a cottage with all the mod cons, designed for comfort and convenience and set up for visitors. Steve and Dot are perfect hosts. We've stayed in many other rentals in Kerikeri over the years and this is our favorite. In fact, it's one of the best VRBO properties we've rented in more than a decade of retirement travel. Highly recommended.

    Lovely accommodation, very friendly hosts, including Charlie the dog. The dog sitting was a great additional bonus and meant we could do a boat trip. Beautiful big garden for us all to roam in. Thanks for having us.

    At peace and tranquillity, the views were not only amazing but the atmosphere and hosts were wonderful!! Having spent 6 nights there and waking up to the clean crisp air gave my family and I comfort and serenity. The gardens were vast allowing my children to run around and play with the host's dog, Charlie. The house itself was perfect for a family of 4, with everything made as accessible and available as possible. Upon our arrival, Steve and Dot welcomed us into the house and explained how all the heating and other appliances worked to make everything easy for my family to use. Not only that, as we arrived late in the day they did supermarket shopping on our behalf so we could have something to eat. Peace and Tranquillity was away from the main roads allowing it to be more of a peaceful environment which was exactly what my family and I were looking for on our get away trip.

    The property and hosts were excellent and attention t detail was good. Lovely setting and not too far from anything if you need to pop down the road. Charlie the dog was great company for our dog and the country feel with the other animals was a bonus. Not cheap with all the add ons but well worth it.

    Never disappoints. Stayed here several times, Steve and Dot are super friendly and accommodating. The property has everything you need. And resident Charlie dog makes pals with our dogs every time.
