This charming, very private, self-contained cottage is set in the middle of our organic citrus orchard, just 5 km outside of Kerikeri. Our FishMore Cottage has been completely renovated with the use of local timbers in December 2018. It has full insulation, double glazing, mosquito screens and a heat pump to make your stay extra comfortable. The super king bed can be converted into two king singles. And there is a single bed in the lounge. Mood lighting over the free standing bath, wine rack, TV in lounge and bedroom, quality linen and towels make you want to stay longer and explore all the beautiful sights in the Bay of Islands. Swim in the pool, feed our friendly farm animals or just sit and relax. Adults and kids love it here.

Lovely cottage. Quiet location. Very comfortable and well appointed with gas cooking, aircon and very good shower/ bath facilities. Highly recommend and we would definitely stay again.
The cottage was clean and well stocked. It was a great location to go to glow worm caves, the stone store, rainbow falls, old town of Russel or a day on the ocean in the bay of plenty. It was very nice to know after a long day of exploring you could go back to a clean comfortable and quiet place to rest for next day of adventure.
Surrounded by orange trees were my 2 year old boy could rome free and hubby and I could relax on the deck. The one bedroom unit was nice and warm for us on our arrival and had everything we needed, we enjoyed feeding the animals and everything was a short drive away. Would highly recommend this property.

Was very nice to host Kelly and her family and give them the space to have some good relaxing time.
We hope to see them again sometime.
Thank you for your stay and your nice review. It was lovely having you as our guests and we hope to welcome you again some day.
Kind regards, Claes and Inga
We were warmly welcomed by Claes with a bowl of organic oranges. The cottage has everything we needed. I enjoyed a salt water swim in the pool. Everything was perfect and the surroundings were private and relaxing.
I shall be returning with my preschoolers soon. They will love the kune-kune pigs and chickens. They will love being amongst the citrus grove. Thank you Claes for a wonderful stay!

Thank you Penelope for the lovely review. We very much enjoyed having you and your father stay with us and we hope to welcome you again some day. All the best until then, Claes and Inga
Had a lovely stay. Good kitchen, nice location right next to fruit trees, peaceful. Claes gave us plenty of just-picked oranges and fresh eggs which was a nice touch.
We had a great few days staying here. Everything was clean and as advertised. Check-in and communication with the host was quick and easy. Great location close to everything in Kerikeri. We would happily stay again.
Hosts were most approachable and willing to help to the extent of mowing a strip through long grass so we could walk to our son's property. Enjoyed the citrus fruit bowl. The unit was well equipped. Would crertainly stay again
We were looking for somewhere to decompress and this certainly gave us that as well as been perfect spot to explore what Northlsnd had to offer. Loved it.
2 friends and I stayed 2 nights. We competed in the Kerikeri Half Marathon on Saturday. There was a good luck message and a little chocolate bar for us all. The place was clean and well appointed. Fresh fruit for us from the orchard was in the fruit bowl. The pool was lovely, the bath devine. The chooks wandered about, we went to visit the pigs. The dog was a sweety. It was quiet despite the fact there were 4 cabins on the property. The beds were comfy. We will all visit again and would definitely recommend

Location was excellent, the cottage was a little tired and due for some renovation, but we enjoyed our stay, much better than a hotel in town and we’d stay there again

Gorgeous location - it was lovely to be greeted by pukekoes and chickens in the morning, in this cottage nestled in the middle of a citrus orchard. The cottage has everything you need for a comfortable stay.
