We arrived at the Colonial House Motel to be greeted by Andrea with homemade cookies and a glass of wine. The self contained cottage is newly refurbished, plush carpet, a crisp clean feel and well stocked for kitchen utensils and cook ware. The cottage had a lovely wee balcony area set in bush. Excellent value and would highly recommend it.

Awesome location set among bush, easy walking distance to village, our unit was very clean and modern. Loved sitting on deck in morning with coffee and watching the 2 large wood pigeons in the tree, the girls loved the spa, just what was required after long days sight seeing. The hosts were very friendly and helpful, we were greeted with... More

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay on March 11, 12, 13 and wished our schedule had allowed a couple more days there. We were greeted with wine and fresh-baked, delicious cookies. We found the newly renovated suite to be wonderfully fresh. The kitchenette was well stocked. The shower was spacious and gorgeous – a delight to use. We used the BBQ... More

Over the last 6 months I have stayed at Colonial House a number of times for business and once for a personal stay. The owners have been very friendly and know everyone by their first name. You receive wine, cookies and milk on arrival which is a nice touch. The units are spotless and a number of them have been... More

Andrea welcomed us with a glass of wine, cookies, and a choice of milk and soy milk. We stayed in one of the Studios that had been recently renovated; it was spotless, just like brand new. We can't say enough about how enjoyable our short stay was; Alan and Andrea are perfect hosts and, being well traveled themselves, know just... More

Andrea & Alan are very welcoming and friendly offering cookies and chocolates, even a glass of wine. Our unit was very new inside, spotlessly clean and comfortable. TV reception was great, also the variety of channels to watch was good. Just a stones throw ( well sort of) down to the best restaurant (The pear tree) in Kerikeri. Love he... More

We stayed here as a family for two nights and found the accommodation to be both comfortable and convenient. Our hosts where very helpful and knowlegable and the wine, chocolates and home baked cookies were a pleasant suprise. Would recommend this accommodation to anybody travelling to this beautiful part of the North Island.

Staying 6 nights away is a chunky part of your holiday right? So we wanted to make sure we found accommodation that was going to be perfect. Did we find it here? YES.
