My stay at Avalon was a much-needed retreat after a hectic month of travel. The atmosphere was incredibly relaxing, and the staff made me feel right at home. Although it's not a luxury hotel, it offers a charming ambiance that really helped recharge my batteries. However, I did notice some areas for improvement when it comes to pest control, which was a bit of a hassle during my stay.

What a beautiful hidden gem right in the heart of Kerikeri! The cottages are well-appointed and set in a stunning garden with delightful animals, offering a unique rural experience. I found the owner, Willam, to be very friendly and helpful. It’s only a short walk to nearby restaurants, and all this comes at an incredibly affordable price.

I recently stayed at this resort and had a mixed experience. On one hand, the location is stunning, surrounded by beautiful rivers and wildlife, creating a tranquil atmosphere. The room I stayed in was incredibly beautiful and well-equipped, but there were some maintenance issues that detracted from my overall enjoyment. The value for money was alright, but I faced some issues with cleanliness that were disappointing.
