Our stay at Dragonfly Barn was truly wonderful. We felt totally relaxed the minute that we arrived and the hospitality of the hosts was superb. The views and the surroundings are wonderful and the accomodation itself is of an excellent standard. We could not fault this property and we would highly recommend it to anyone wanting to visit KeriKeri, the surrounding areas and The Bay of Islands. We will definitely plan to return.

Kerikeri Dragon Fly Barn Stay

We all had such an awesome time. Beautiful house with amazing views and even its own forest track you can walk through. Our children aged 1 and 3 loved it. Tracey was a great host. We were there for Christmas and she had left us some Xmas decorations and treats. I would highly recommend the Dragon Fly to people and Keri Keri as a summer holiday location.

Happy weekend

Dragonfly Barn was such a good choice for us. It was clean and beautifully presented, included welcoming touches such as treats and attractive furnishings and offered views and surroundings that were impressive. As it was winter, we loved the wood burner and the supplies of wood etc to keep things cosy. We met Tracey briefly on arrival and immediately felt at ease. Really good accommodation!

Right from the word go the booking process to getting in touch with the owner was very easy. The place is breathtakingly gorgeous!! Tracey leaves a taonga for guests and I adore it, she is one talented wahine. Every inch of the barn is immaculate and inviting… the artwork and sculptures are stunning!! We had 6-7 people and we were all really comfortable, Tracey thinks of everything right down to gifting Vogels bread for brekkie 100% recommend booking here, we will certainly do the trip again, the 5 hr drive was worth it A
