Beautiful little get away, nice and comfortable. Beds are soft and warm. Everything about Kendall Cottage is awesome. Location is perfect. My toddler was right at home she didn't play up at all 😊 she loved to be at this property (happy toddler means happy mum❤️)
I love this property.
Kendall Cottage is the place we stay when in Kerikeri, we've stayed here around 5 times. Kendall Cottage is fresh, clean and beautifully decorated. Its close to town, but out of town enough to enjoy quite, peaceful surroundings. Linda the host is always friendly and helpful. We absolutely love staying here ❤️
We wish we had time enough to stay longer.
위치도 좋고 따뜻하고 모든것이 가추워져 있고 잠자리도 너무좋고 청결하고 머무는 동안 행복 했어요 ^^주변에 유명 관광지. 쇼핑 . 마켓이 10분거리에 있어요
Tranquil cottage as neat as a pin with everything you could possibly need for a warm & cosy getaway. Set amidst tranquil gardens with a serene outlook the cottage has been tastefully furnished. We enjoyed sitting on the peaceful deck with our morning cuppas & fell in love with sweet kitty Lola, who greeted us cheerfully each morning. A relaxing & serene couple of days, highly recommend.

Total privacy, beautiful garden, quiet. Great location for both town and exploring the area. Linda is a friendly and helpful host and takes a lot of pride in the quality of the accommodation. It’s walking distance to the Stone House, Parrot Place and waterfalls. Very well equipped, spacious and clean. Bed was very comfy!

Linda and Oscar are fantastic hosts . We really enjoyed meeting them and staying in the immaculate Kendall cottage. Lots of room for the boat with tidy lawns and gardens.
Wouldn't change anything
Spotlessly clean, with everything and more that you would need on your stay. Brilliant location, but private and quiet. Fabulous stay.
Gorgeous place to stay and the host was extremely welcoming!
Beautiful property, lovely scenery, and cute little cat named Lola who was always around to greet us. Linda, the host, was also lovely and came to say hi to us on our arrival. Very accommodating and helped us when we didn’t have a torch among other things.
Cottage very well equipped. A bowl of yummy oranges on the bench plus a packet of chocolate biscuits.
Nothing that I can think of.
Perfect size for the 4 of us. Linda came and greeted us the morning after we arrived. Linda also provided us with some milk, tea/coffee and sugar, juice and a lovely packet of biscuits to welcome us. There were also some fresh oranges from her garden. It’s the little touches that make it a great place to stay. Beds were very comfortable. The shower was great. Highly recommend staying here.
The cottage was so clean and well appointed, having all the equipment we needed.
The cottage was very very clean and everything worked flauwless. The beds were very comfortable and we had everything to feel at home the second we walked in. Linda was super quick with responding our questions and also came by for a nice chat.

Heel fijn huisje, rustig gelegen achter in de tuin met ruim voldoende privacy. Comfortabel en super schoon. Linda is een hele fijne gastvrouw die op de achtergrond voor je klaar staat. Goede uitvalsbasis om te zeilen in Paihia, kauribomen te bezoeken of prachtige stranden te ontdekken.

Lots of space and the cottage was very clean. Beautiful yard and great location. After seeing the sites and family, it was nice to come back to the cottage. It just was so inviting. Great beds and the kitchen was well equipped. 100% happy and recommend. many thanks to the hosts.
The cottage was cozy and had absolutely everything we needed. Nicest washing space ever. Very well equipped, clean, easy to find and park. Nice and helpful owner that was easy to contact. Nice garden with lots of bird song. Quiet and peaceful. We had a terrific time and are already longing to return. We only wish we had stayed longer than our five nights. This was the best place on our 1-month trip.

Loved the warmth of the host, the attention to detail and the careful selction of decor to make a light, bright and comfortable environment. The outdoors was perfect, with a large flat lawn for children to run around, jump on the trampoline and feed the guinea pigs nextdoor. Down a long drive and with surrounding trees it felt like a private oasis where we could truly relax.
Quiet and peaceful

Linda was lovely and what a small world that we visited from where she grew up :-) the cottage was cozy, clean and had everything we needed.
The homely feeling we had as soon as we arrived. It was our first trip away (my son is 6 months) so was a little anxious. The cottage had everything we needed and the hosts were lovely. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will definitely be back

Great accommodation as a base for Bay of Islands exploring. Kids loved the huge lawn and trampoline. Very thoughtfully set up for guests, beautifully presented and sparkling clean. Would have loved to stay longer.

What a beautiful gem of a cottage, perfect location and so private and peaceful. Wish we could have stayed longer. Everything you need for a little home away from home is provided. The chocolates and little bottle of milk waiting was a nice little personal touch. Would highly recommend this place for a stay. 10/10
Absolutely nothing
The hosts were exceptional, they were really nice and couldn't do enough for us to make our stay perfect. The property itself was so clean with everything you could need for a stay and even had toys for our kids to play with both inside and out. Have already recommended it to friends and family looking to visit the area.
Lovely cottage in a beautiful peaceful garden. The perfect location to relax. An easy drive to Kerikeri town centre and local historic sites.
Quiet and really well equipped. Loved the proximity to the nearby river. A short walk to shops and places to eat out.

Immaculate and pretty cottage in a secluded spot. We were visiting old friends and the coat the was just one street along from where we needed to be so couldn’t have been more perfect. Not a spot of dirt or dust anywhere and tastefully decorated with the mist comfortable beds ever.

Wow, what a beautiful “home” away from home. We enjoyed our stay immensely. The facilities were top notch and everything was so clean. Thankyou for the lovely wine and chocolates. It was a kind gesture. The cottage tickets all of our boxes and provided everything we needed for comfort.
Only feedback was perhaps to add some scissors to the kitchen drawer, you never know who it might help out :)

We had a wonderful four nights at Kendall Cottage. Linda, our host, was warm and kind. There was even a box of chocolates to welcome us. Everything was spotlessly clean and the whole house was bathed in natural light. Kerikeri was the perfect base for exploring Northland, and we drove all the way to Cape Reinga, though unfortunately it was rainy and foggy. So we’ll have to go back, and guess where we’ll be staying?
The bedroom with the queen bed felt a little tight for space, although beds were all very comfortable. The kitchen was well equipped, though we would have appreciated an oven.
Everything!

Impeccably clean. Very well equipped. Tastefully decorated. Very comfortable beds with high quality linens.
10 out of 10 property. Close to town, but so quiet and peaceful. Very well set up with everything you need, and very neat clean and tidy. The owner popped in to welcome us which is a nice change, and we enjoyed all the facilities at the property.
Nil; very well set up, and very comfortable. Only addition I could think of would be a clothes dryer to add to the washing machine. No issue for us as the weather was good, but could see the need over winter.
Exceptionally equipped accommodation in a peaceful and perfect location for exploring the local area. The owners have thought of everything in terms of home comforts and ensured we had all we needed for a relaxing and memorable stay.
There was nothing at all to dislike about this property!
A lovely cosy place. Linda is a very experienced host. The cottage is very clean, tidy and all bits and pieces we needed were available. Best comfortable beds we ever had on our trips.
Fantastic location, very handy for both Kerikeri and Bay of Islands exploring. Well appointed property, very comfortable, with all guests needs anticipated.
Linda and family were extremely friendly and had some great tips on things to do nearby.

Both the host & property were fabulous :) the cottage was immaculately clean, beautifully presented & well equipped. The 10/10 online ratings were spot on! Would definitely recommend to others looking for a quiet and relaxing base from which to explore the Bay of Islands. Especially great for families traveling with children, lots of outdoor space & activities for the kids to enjoy.
Was very welcoming, good energy, tranquil, lots of friendly touches. Lovely to sit on the front porch and soak up the sun/ambience. Short drive to places of interest and to local shops/cafes.

The cottage was perfect. We arrived to a delicious bowl of home grown oranges on the bench. The cottage was equipped with everything we needed and was so clean and tidy. We will definitely be back with our two boys.
We couldn’t fault it at all.
The cottage is gorgeous and sits in a beautiful idyllic and peaceful area away from the centre of town. Tastefully decorated and our hosts were lovely. Such a great place to stay and definitely recommend to other visitors to Kerikeri. Great value for money.
The location was lovely. Private and pretty.
Our family loved how there were facilities for children to play with outside, creating a place for our daughter to play and not using technology. Also, we loved how homely it felt giving us a sense of home away from home.
Amazingly spacious and really well laid out linda went out of her way to make it homely for us adding some toys, kids towels and other smallchild related things. We appreciate you Linda. Definitely recommend and will be coming back
That we didn't get to enjoy the space like we planned but will definitely be back
The house was very welcoming and smells good. The small details added for extra comfort. I booked this cottage as I was curious what a 10/10 rating looks like and I'm glad that I did.

This was by far the best cottage our family has stayed at. It was very clean; the layout was perfect; it was recently renovated; the kitchen was well stocked; the location was perfect for touring around Northland; the landscaping in the yard was beautiful; the owners are eager to help in any way including provide sightseeing suggestions. It definitely exceed our expectations and we had an amazing 4 day stay. We wish we had booked it for longer.
