WHAT GUESTS SAY

Idyllic Stay in Kerikeri
Stunning property with every little detail taken care of to provide a very relaxing and enjoyable stay. Owners are awesome and take care to ensure an awesome holiday.
The cottages are beautifully appointed with amazing views, and waking up to the sounds of birdlife and enjoying a coffee on the deck is a hard experience to beat.
Excellent. More Than Expected
The host and hostess were fabulous. Very attentive, incredible communicator, friendly, very helpful. The accommodations were the best I have stayed (and I travel a lot!) would love to stay there again. Everything was perfection.
Would definitely return – loved it.
The exceptionally warm welcome to a well appointed, beautifully furnished and extremely comfortable retreat. super provisions for breakfast and more. Everything has been meticulously thought through to make for a very relaxing stay. Love the thoughtful eco friendly products to use in both the kitchen and bathrooms.

 Secluded and tranquil, Treghan feels wonderfully removed from the rush of everyday life, yet remains just minutes from Kerikeri township and within easy reach of the best of the Bay of Islands.
