Cute cottage in Kerikeri

Beautiful private dwelling in a quiet road of orchards. Close enough to drive to all the sights in Kerikeri. Comfortable bed, nice linen, tastefully decorated. Lazy boy chairs. Perfect for two. Has microwave and hob but no oven, you might want to take your air fryer. Amazing pressure in the shower. Big TV, Netflix, YouTube, Freeview.Off street parking. A lovely hostess, Pam. I would definitely stay again.
