Guest Reviews

• Jaya (10/5): - Nice stay and just wonderful hosts. Made us feel so welcome.
• MRM (8/5): - Perfect location for our needs. Motel owner was very accommodating for my bungled booking (my fault) and most helpful in showing us local amenities
• Ken (10/5): - We were looking for a property situated in middle of Bay of Islands area..... We found this one and was a bit concerned at how low the price was. Pleasantly surprised, rustic outside, impeccable inside, very.clean and all facilities needed, we stayed three nights and highly recommend.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Nice room and nice facilities swimming pole pool and spa and wife nd tv all facilities nice
• Verified traveler (8/5): - Ease of access to property, the farm animals roaming freely, well situated between Kerikeri & Paihai
• Verified traveler (8/5): - I loved this property. So relaxing. The calmness was awesome.
• Stephan (8/5): Mitten in der Natur. - Mitten in der Natur gelegen. Pferde Hühner etc inkl.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - We loved this stay! The room was really quirky and super large. The staff were so friendly. Loved all of the rescue animals.
• Brian (4/5): - We booked this accommodation because it was described as a "country lodge" at Kerikeri. Neither was really correct. The motel was in a very remote location - hard to find on the maps because it is not at Kerikeri. It was a very old motel that the current owners may be trying to rescue but at the moment it is wrong to describe it as a "lodge".
• Verified traveler (10/5): Motel stay - Family vacation and visiting near by towns and cities
• jait (8/5): - Nice place and sweet for the price, staff very friendly but it was so very hot, a fan would have been great!
• Verified traveler (10/5): - We didn't realise how BIG Northland is!! Staff very helpful. Great rooms for four adults!
• Deidre (8/5): - Our stay was fine. We used the motel as a base to travel from in the area and that worked well.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - great location for kerikeri half and relaxing space
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Nice friendly people, good country feeling. Spacious rooms.
• Verified traveler (8/5): - The Country Lodge was perfect for a base for our trip. The staff were really friendly and helpful. The room was spacious and comfortable. Nice firm bed. Good area to sit outdoors. Our room was very clean. There is road noise but it didn’t bother us at all.
• Verified traveler (8/5): - Lovely get away from the city. Quiet and enjoyable country views
• Kathryn (8/5): - Interesting themed accommodation. Friendly owner. Comfortable spacious unit apart from beds which were a little lumpy. Kitchen stovetop and some of the other minor points need upgrading. Horse, goats, sheep and pigs in paddock made us laugh. Pleasant stay. Thank you for your service.
• Fiona (10/5): Family friendly - Fantastic place to stay, excellent hosts as well.
• Marsh (8/5): - Fantastic friendly hosts. Great with suggestions of what yi see and where ti go. If I wad in the area I would stay again!
• Reuben Anthony (2/5): - I travel a lot in the type of business that I have and probably spend on average one week a month in a Motel or Hotel. My stay in the Bay of Islands Country Lodge, was without doubt the worst experience I have ever had! The bed was not made, the dishes were not washed and for the last 3 days the soap dispenser in the shower had no soap.I have never previously booked through nz.hotels.com and after that experience I never will again. I was very dissapointed.
• John (10/5): Very good location - Very good location for all Bay of Islands attractions and tours. Situated approximately halfway between Paihai and Kerikeri. Only minor complaint was very close to the highway, so some traffic noise.
• Verified traveler (10/5): Great location as a base or to break a long trip - I only stayed one night but would definitely reccommend it as a base for the area.
• Minnies (4/5): - nice comfy hotel very clean that was my fave about it thank you great stay country lodge and parking space was no hassel
• Verified traveler (8/5): Nice quite place - Pleasent stay thanks Staff very friendly Good location and facilities
• Wendy (10/5): - Great. Nice and quiet. Friendly hosts. Clean. Thank you.
• Melanie (10/5): Freundliches Personal, gute Zimmer - Wir nutzten dieses Motel als Zwischenstopp auf unserer Rundreise. Die Zimmer sind gut eingerichtet und sehr sauber. Eine gemütliche Veranda direkt am Zimmer lädt dazu ein den Tag auszuklingen oder wie in unserem Fall ein Frühstück einzunehmen. Das Personal ist freundlich und hilfsbereit. Wie erhielten gute Tipps zur weiterfahrt und örtliche Restaurants. Abendessen kann man im 5 Autominuten entfernten Kerikeri. Ein Highlight sind die viele Tiere (2 Borstenschweine, 1 Pferd, 2 Schafe, 2 Ziegen und Hühner) die zusammen auf einer Riesen Wiese friedlich Leben. Wir können dieses Motel nur weiterempfehlen.
• Elin (6/5): - Stora rum, bekväma sängar, bra med egen altan, äldre kök, opraktisk dusch, poolen var trasig och motellet låg en bit från närmsta stad men nära en större väg.
• Richard (8/5): Comfortable hotel with easy access - I was welcomed warmly and accommodated quickly. The suite was ample to my needs in terms of space, but inconvenience was a problem. I had a hot plate but no oven - and a microwave and fry pan did not equate!! There were few convenient power plugs. The kettle power cord was about 30cm long!! No ice tray. Bulb was out in light over kitchen table. All small things but annoying. Otherwise, well located for access to all attractive towns in the Northland. Close to highway so a little noise might be distracting to some.
• Clam (8/5): Relaxing Stay - This hotel is located on the main highway to the Bay of Islands. It is back off the road in a rural setting, which makes it perfect to just relax. The room was a good size, and the amenities were good.
• Bernadette (8/5): Two nights in Keri Keri - As motel was on the main road I thought it would be very noisy and it was when sitting on deck but at night it was surprisingly quiet. It was immaculate and the bed was extremely comfortable, it was friendly welcoming and helpful - on the downside, it is beginning to look a bit tired but it was good value for money.
• Verified traveler (8/5): - Great motel that was very clean and comfortable with friendly owners. Would definitely stay here again.
• curtis (8/5): Nice motel out in the country. - We had things in both Paihia and Kerikeri that we wanted to do during our two days in Bay of Islands, and this motel was ideally situated between the two. This made it somewhat remote for just popping out for a quick meal. The staff was very nice, and they had a nice jacuzzi. My wife liked the farm animals out back.
• Cecil (6/5): - The owner was very nice. Lovely place however it was very difficult to sleep as the room was right beside the highway. It is at an intersection with vehicles stopping and starting all night long. Maybe another unit would have been better.
• Kath (10/5): Perfect Central Location - We had a very pleasant stay. The location was perfect for us as we had plans to visit Kerikeri, Kaikohe/Okaihau and Paihia over a 3 day period. The staff were friendly, obliging and helpful. The unit was clean and well presented. The price suited our budget and we were well pleased with what we got for our money.
• Verified traveler (10/5): Great location easy access - Great location giving easy access to Waitangi, Keri Keri, Kaikohe. Nice country motel with great amenities and especially children friendly and affordable. Highly recommended. A massive high five to the hosts as well.
• Don (10/5): Home with a touch of rural - Great place and host. We had more than we could have asked for with kitchen facilities. The hosts were super friendly and laid back. The hosts also had a lifestyle block with friendly animals which make the experience very rural and special.
• RH (10/5): Great base for Bay of Islands - We chose this motel as a base in Bay of Islands for 7 days. The location suited us perfectly. Room facilities were just what we needed, large comfortable bed and good bathroom and kitchen. The addition of the animals were great. Can't fault the hosts, helpful and friendly! Would recommend to friends/family and wouldn't hesitate to return.
• Tourists (8/5): One night stay - Great overnight stay on our all to short tour of the Bay of Islands. Although a little dated the room was very clean and comfortable and we enjoyed a very good nights sleep. The manager/owner was extremely helpful. Recommend to all. Jeremy & Sharon UK
• Michelle (8/5): - Sadly no air conditioning as stated and very cold
• Frances (10/5): Excellence in the Bay of Islands - Absolutely fabulous hosts, very informative about the area and very welcoming.
• Verified traveler (8/5): Affordable close to where we needed to be. - Attend an event in kerikeri for the night, need a nice quite place you rest after event.BOI Country Lodge gave us what we needed. Thanks ED
• G K (6/5): Bay of Islands Country Lodge Motel - Stayed one night, good motel to base your self out of. About 10-12 minutes from Kerikeri for meals if you do not wish to cook. Good bed, clean, tidy. Has a std para pool (did not use it). Yes, recommend it.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Ed and Laraine are great hosts, very friendly and the lodge has everything to make you feel comfortable. My kids loved the animals and we will definitely be back.
• John (10/5): - Facilities: Nice ; Value: Affordable; Service: Outstanding; Cleanliness: Faultless;
• Daniel (10/5): -
