Description
Kia ora,
We are based in Kerikeri - the fruitgrowing capital of NZ. Myself(Phil) and my wife, Fhiona, bought our beautiful 100 year old house 5 years ago . Set in 3 acres of beautiful gardens, every week we find a new plant that someone has lovingly planted at some point. From the rose arbour to the veggie gardens there is always a project going on with lots of laughter and maybe a bit of mud!
We're close enough to walk into Kerikeri town and we also have a spa in winter and swimming pool in summer! -

We enjoyed Kerikeri and the Bay of Islands, it's a beautiful part of NZ.
We thoroughly recommend Phil and Fhi and their beautiful home.
