Hostels in Kerikeri

Everything is clean, the staff is nice and the view from the common room/kitchen is simply marvellous. The Wifi worked really well and the location is brilliant, right in the middle of town looking out over the harbour area and lots of food places around. The rooms are small but manageable. I loved that I had a socket and a light next to my bed and a curtain for some private space.

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.

Beautiful complex among orange orchards with a friendly owner and staff. Good place to explore Kerikeri or Paihia (if you have a car).

Close to everything around town, clean facilities, well equipped kitchen. Just overall a nice and cheap place to stay! Would definitely come back again
