The Carriage House

The host Adrian is amazing, friendly and informative in places to see and do. The Carriage House is well equipped with everything for a self catering holiday, plus washing machine and dryer. Adrian showed us all his vintage cars and horse carriages. Lions Brewery harnesses marked with emblem and the original wagon has pride of place.. I loved the Gypsy van❤️ Adrian has his first car on hand with others- White Ghost Rolls Royce sparkling like new . It was a great honour to view these cars and hear the stories from Adrian.

We like to find different and if possible unique places of accommodation on our travels and the carriage house full filled that brief exceedingly well. It's the whole package that's unique and the only way to discover this is to book it and discover for yourself. Other reviews will give you a clue. I very rarely give reviews on places but this is an exception for an exceptional package. The house, the location, the host, horses, carriages, vintage cars, The stone house and surrounds and all that the bay of islands has to offer. we stayed five nights, don't forget the stars at night

Great location, quiet, with views, and a short drive to the Stone House (great pub restaurant Plough and Feather-22 craft beers on tap - yea!), equally short drive to Kerikeri township. Host Adrian is exceedingly charming - a real "English Gentleman" from a bygone era who has fantastic life stories to share. Check out his Rolls Royces and 12 old Carriages - plus his 5 Shire horses on site. My labrador greatly appreciated the pet friendly rural nature of the property. Plus an interesting book collection to leaf thru in the accomodation.

Nothing as far as I am concerned. The accomodation was exceedingly comfortable, and two bedrooms and two bathrooms very suitable for two male friends travelling. Note that the steps up to the accomodation can be a wee bit slippery if it is raining - but not such a big deal!

We had an amazing stay at the Carriage House! The property is in excellent condition and spotlessly clean. The property itself is not far away from town centre either. Adrian, our host, is a knowledgeable local with a deep love for New Zealand’s history—his fascinating stories and travel advice truly enhanced our experience. The horses on the property were so friendly, and we even spotted a grey rabbit hopping around, which added a magical touch. Adrian also took the time to show us his collection of vintage carriages, which was a real highlight. Staying at the Carriage House offered so much more than just great value—it’s an experience that money can’t buy, filled with warmth, hospitality, and a rich sense of heritage. We would definitely stay here again if we revisit Kerikeri. Highly recommended!
