Fantastic location for exploring Kerikeri - 20 minute walk to wonderful gastropub (Plough and Feather) via the scenic Stone Store gardens.Spotlessly clean and well appointed, comfortable and welcoming accommodation.The kids loved having a trampoline and outdoor toys in the garden which felt really private. Linda was a really communicative and helpful host - thank you so much for providing a really wonderful home from home!

Te Araroa section walkers

We found the cottage to be well appointed, warm and welcoming. It is close to the Te Araroa trail and we were able to enjoy a drink by the river at the end of our section walk, then wander back to the cottage for dinner and a good sleep!

Wonderful holiday cottage

This is such a great spot to spend time relaxing. Refreshingly clean, tastefully decorated, beautifully furnished - everything we needed was there. The cottage itself was plenty spacious for two, and then having the covered deck as well as lots of garden to enjoy - bonus! Hosts were welcoming and hospitable. This is a real gem.

Comfy and cosy

We had a very nice stay here - comfortable and warm, and very quiet. We also appreciated the unexpected chocolates on arrival, and the very tasty fruit we were given from the orange trees all around the property. The only thing we didn't realise was that the pool wasn't very close to the cottage (actually closer to the owner's house) so we didn't use that. Overall, a nice place and we'd be happy to stay there again.

Glad you enjoyed your stay and hope to see you all again one day. Definetly 5 star guests! Sorry it was too cold to swim in the pool and we do share our family pool during summer time with our guests if they need to cool off. There are some beautiful swiming holes, beaches and a public school pool not too far away too.

A wonderful home from home

Spotless and extremely well equipped this is a lovely self contained house at the bottom of Linda’s garden. Definitely 5* Linda’s has thought of everything. Quiet and perfectly positioned to explore the Bay of Islands area. Linda was very attentive to our needs but not in the slightest intrusive. Highly recommended with lovely walks into town and around the area in the bush and by the river.

Delightful cottage with all the extras

Kendall Cottage is an absolute treasure. Cosy, clean, peaceful yet super close to town and hot spots. Absolutely fantastic for kids with trampoline, cubby house, swings and large yard. Linda and her family were super helpful and made it even more special leaving out toys and books - very thoughtful. Highly recommend and couldn't fault it. We will definitely be back. The Millers :)

Fantastic and quiet location close to points of interests

Kendall cottage presents very well. It has all you typically would expect and then some more. For example, body wash and shampoo were provided as well. There is a dishwasher. All is up to very good standards. All is very well kept up, clean and it's also decorated very nicely, e.g. using flowers, there are small pieces to decorate the walls, colors, materials, all is very well done while still keeping it simple. One cannot other than feeling at home very quickly. If you are into hiking or running, there are tracks not too far, e.g. to Stone House or up to Rainbow falls and beyond. I'm definitely happy to recommend Kendall Cottage. Thank you, Linda and family for doing such an awesome job and making it available!
