this place is super cozy and the location is beautifull. mr avalon was really nice and welcoming when we got there, which was great after a long drive! our cabin and the grounds were so well kept, it was nice just walking around and chillin. the natural spring pool and sauna are a big plus too! would totally go back if we had more time.

the access road was kinda tight for our vehicle, and i wish there was more outdoor activities available for families.

stroll to charming parks and local landmarks with ease

During my stay, I truly appreciated the resort's proximity to Kerikeri's charming attractions, with St James Anglican Church and the striking Fairy Pools both being an easy walk from my accommodations. it felt wonderful to explore the scenic walking paths that framed the landscape and offered views of the nearby water.

The shiraz vineyard views from the cottage were just stunning, and the bed was like sleeping on a fluffy cloud! that crystal-clear natural pool? Absolute bliss for a dip! The owner was super friendly, even sorted us out with olive oil for cooking!

The road in was a bit tight for our bakkie, but we managed fine.

Our family really enjoyed the large, comfy cottage and took advantage of the lovely outdoor seating area for meals. The kids loved meeting the resident animals like ducks and chickens, and we had a peaceful atmosphere to relax in. The nearby Kerikeri River walk was stunning!

My kids wished for more play equipment outside.
