Hostels in Kerikeri

The location was great and the staff were friendly and helpful

The owner was available and fixed a utility plug and upgraded to new our electric water kettle very quickly for our suite. He upgraded our room to a cozy upstairs 2 bed with a private bathroom, large open window and view of the Fire department for a very reasonable price. We stayed several weeks and he also negotiated basically the best value for our money stay of our entire North and South Island 3 month tour, which finished up in Paihia. Their location was very convenient to all sights and restaurants, food supermarket which worked for us because we prefer simple cooked meals easily done in their huge kitchen downstairs. We were trying to find a home to purchase in Kerikeri which we actually accomplished while staying at this lodge, the owner was thrilled for us once he realized we had lived on a sailboat for the past 12 years as sustainable lifestylers ready for a serious change. We made it to our house location purchase from Centabay lodge I'm a short time enough to seal the deal from other bidders wanting this new home as well, Simon Hart with Barfoot & Thompson realty was thei vendors realtor who also helped us manage this purchase, highly recommended as well. A great stay for us here, much appreciated.

We had the best time! The cottage was super cozy and had all we need. Klaus was warm and welcoming and we loved all the animals roaming around. Especially the pigs!! Also don’t forget to try the oranges. Absolutely delish! Warmest recommendation to stay at this place.

Excellent location , large shared kitchen and two lounges . Staff was very friendly. Josh even dropped me to the bus stop since there is no local taxi available .
