Provider-sourced guest reviews.
It was very peaceful and quiet with a generous comfortable room good facilities, spa etc and after de stressing I slept so comfortably.
No chocolate on pillows
We enjoyed the peacefulness, and the accommodation was so lovely. Didnt want to leave.
Nothing to dislike. This place is a little peace of heaven.
It was private,secluded,quiet yet close to the town centre Loved it so much,made another reservation the same day we checked out
There was nothing to dislike
Views, setting, quietness and good facilities
Mosquitoes in room
The cottage is lovely, really nice. Nice lakes and lawns
Maybe a bit tired in parts, not wanting to be critical as improvements would likely require considerable expenditure. Drive way and parts of the garden etc, but the owners already know that It’s a great place, would recommend and come back
It was like stepping into a little piece of paradise ...
The cottage and grounds are beautiful
The driveway is narrow
It was absolutely stunning just from the look of it online to coming to view :) perfect night getaway away from home. I absolutely highly recommend. 10/10 for me.
Well there isn’t really anything to dis-like.
Space in the unit was great. Would be a nice in summer months. Was made miserable by the weather.
Bed was hard and high, but lovely pillows. Didn't like the muddy pathway from the waka to the verandha. Was a very wet day.
I loved it! Booked it last minute and it exceeded my expectations. Staff were so accommodating, I would definitely stay again.
Beautiful garden setting & very quiet yet close to the town.
Couldn't get live news on TV.
Private,clean and comfortable
The grounds were very fun for our children to explore. The spa pool is also a good feature for children during the winter.
Good place to unplug surrounded by nature All wood inside cottage nostalgic feel
Spa was not hot enough when we used it Cottage a bit cold initially and condensation on window in the morning even though we left heap pump on whole night. A bit dusty at cottage entrance - wooden floor can get dusty quickly There are moudly spots in shower.but not too bad.
We loved our stay, it was peaceful and such beautiful grounds. Friendly staff member showed us around and we felt very comfortable. I would 100% come back here
Beautiful garden setting, lots of birds. The cabins are large and private. Very comfortable. Friendly people.
Location was an unexpected surprise - tucked away, down by the river but so close to town.
The service was great! The facilities were amazing and I can not fault anything. The scenery was breath taking and I didn't want to leave
I did not like the fact we had to leave.
Avalon feels like a holiday. Resort style within a tranquil setting with water and bush clad privacy. The cottages are roomy and fully equipped. Bath in Bathroom. Watched the stars from the spa at night.
Lovely location. Great facilities. Great value for money.
The bed was clean but really hard.
It’s such a peaceful and beautiful place. My daughter absolutely loved our room — it had such a warm and cosy, homely feeling. We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely come back again next time!
I loved everything about it location, very comfortable, relaxing! Loved it, would book again.
Location very close to town and airport.
The scenery was beautiful! First thing we commented on while driving onto the property.
There isn’t anything I didn’t like, will happily return in the near future
Very special setting that is well looked after and very nice people
The location is down a long driveway and feels rural. There are ponds and semi-tropical plantings. It has an Asian-hippie feel that I really liked, also fruit trees and ducks.
Nothing.
Amazing surrounds and great facilities
Everything was perfect
Beautiful location. Peaceful with bird life and lovely grounds & trees. Very relaxing. Would come again
Roads need upgrading which owner is doing up. Cottage could be made more attractive with a couple of rugs as was wintertime and a warmer blanket for smaller bed.
Nice setting, very private
Great room. Beautiful gardens. Spa pool
The helpfulness of the owner to our needs was exceptional. The setting was amazing as well as unique and the room was extremely good - kitchen was very well equipped. The use of a spa and sauna was an added bonus.
Nothing!
The setting and accommodation
Na
Beautiful cottage, quiet and lovely grounds close to Kerikeri township. We had a fantastic stay and will be back!
Everything was excellent
Nothing we could think of
The accommodation is hidden and quiet from the main road. Beautiful scenery. Accomodation was nice and clean. Bed was comfortable with an electric blanket which was an extra bonus.
The quiet farm-like surroundings of this property were superb. Chickens were roaming freely and we were greeted with free oranges and lemons from the trees upon our arrival. The property was very comfortable and cosy and had all the comforts of home.
The shower cubicle was very small and despite the shower door being closed, water leaked onto the floor.
Stunning property. Awesome room & excellent kitchen facilities in Turquoise room.
Cleanliness could definitely been be better. I have had almost 20 years in hotels, so have high expectations. Rats in the roof did not allow a peaceful sleep at all.
Everything
We love this place. ITuu is the 3rd time we stayed at this property. It is kids friendly and the owner Brad is very accommodating and friendly.
We like this property because the cottages are cost and have everything you need for a stay away from home. Our kids like the spa, ffeeding the fish n chickens.The only thing we want the property owners to control on mosquitoes. Rest all was perfect.
Very well maintained property, good location and spacious
All good
Close to town but still quiet. Lovely grounds and good facilities.
Nothing to dislike.
The privacy and comfort of the unit was awesome Look forward to going back
Nothing
Absolutely amazing accommodation, beautiful scenery, secure space, very inviting and homely. The facilities were great, they have a laundry onsite. The pool and Spa were very clean. Great space to relax.
Loved it all!
A fantastic place to visit with kids.It was very comfy and felt very homely.Beautiful grounds that were safe and fun for the children.
I like that the cottages are separate and self contained.

Everything. Host was very accommodating. Clean place. Warm. Beds were amazing.
Parking was a little walk from where our place was. We were out early and in late so the dark and lugging stuff back and foward. Thats the only thing I could fault.
Everything, private and peaceful.
Everything. Amazing views. Location was quiet yet close to town. Cottages were clean, modern facilities, cozy, privacy. Perfect place, awesome staff!

We loved everything about the property, especially where we stayed in the Turquoise suite! The bed was so comfy, the shower/bathroom were modern and clean, as was the kitchen. Plus, we could just step out on the back deck with a pool, hot tub, grill and sauna right on our doorstep! Brad was fabulous in making us feel welcome and sharing local knowledge about the area. Highly recommend and will definitely book again if we are in the area!!
We loved everything - absolutely beautiful!
Location, communication with host was amazing and host was very accommodating and friendly.
We couldn't stay longer to enjoy the beautiful location.
I loved the facility. The cleanliness. The surroundings. Grest facility comfort for the price. Totally recommended to anyone who wants a stay for night or more. Very beautiful. I will be back. Loved the bath.
It’s excellent
We could not fault the resort at all or Brad (the owner) who was very obliging , as I phoned him to ask how do we get to the Resort & he said he would come & pick us up, which he did. Then he also booked us into a lovely restaurant that night & dropped us off there & also picked us up, when we were ready to come back. The next morning at 5am dropped us off to Kerikeri Airport. We would highly recommend Brand & his beautiful, tranquil, peaceful resort without hesitation. Cheers Darleen & Les
The motels are down a very lovely bush lined drive. Quite a distance from the main road. The Studio Unit was close to the parking area, so very good for getting luggage into the room. It had a separate bedroom, and good seating in the lounge dining area. Excellent heat pump as it was wet and chilly while we were there. Great outside seating, covered area, so you could sit outside if you wanted to, even when raining.
Nothing really. The only disadvantage was it is quite a distance from the town center if you want to walk there.
Very nice well looked after. Great location
Nothing
Overall stay for was good
A relaxing time away. The spa and all facilities were luxury.
Grounds are lovely. Room was spacious.
Brad was so accommodating and made sure we were happy. We Loved the studio unit it had everything that we needed and sum. We would highly recommend Avalon resort cottages to others. Super plus....a really comfortable bed, we will definitely be back, thankyou Brad.
Private quiet location well off the main road. They cater for couples or a family. The cottages are nice and private
All was good thankyou
Perfect location, we felt well looked after, the host ensured the room was cosy and warm. It’s well set up for winter get aways
Mostly everything really
Smoke alarm going of twice in the night Tv didn't work at tines
Location is excellent. The kitchen was well equipped and spacious. The beds were very comfortable. Doug, the owner, was gracious and always helpful. The rate was very reasonable.
