The setting of this house will take your breath away. You can just gaze at the view or wander endlessly through the gardens. Inside there is everything you need to throw a lavish gourmet dinner party. Sleeping accommodations are just as luxurious as all the other features. And I understand the fishing is quite good.

We spent 4 nights at Denis’s house and it was fantastic. The house has everything anyone would want, the view is spectacular and the location ensures that you relax. Denis was a wonderful host and helpful to any request or query. We also managed to catch a couple of good size snapper from the pontoon one evening, while sipping on a beer / wine. A truly magical spot.

On the way out for an evening fish - the calm before the storm coming tomorrow. Yes two of us got our limit on snapper (14)

My husband and I stayed in Kerikeri for three nights, two of which were accompanied by my cousins family of four. We made use of the main residence and cottage (which was great for the teenagers). I can’t say enough about this home - it is by far the best home we’ve ever stayed in. The views of the water are spectacular, and it’s incredible to have beach access so close to the residence. One of our most memorable experiences in New Zealand will be waking up to have breakfast with the neighboring sheep. Denis (the host) was gracious enough to provide a tour upon our arrival. He encouraged us to use the vegetable garden and all the amenities (dock, beach, speakers, etc). We used herbs and lettuce which tasted fabulous. Nothing in this home is done by accident - the quality is superior. The beds are firm, the decor is beautiful, and the bathrooms are very comfortable. We cooked every night and were impressed by the sharp knives, kitchen utensils, serving platters and accessories. I would highly recommend this home. My husband and I will absolutely be returning to this residence for a longer stay next time we are in New Zealand.

Facebook is doing my head in. Our page is solely ‘Suggested Posts’ I can no longer see any of my FB ‘friends’ posts. Have Googled and seen lots of old suggestions but none of them work with the recent changes Meta has made.

Someone help me!

What a heavenly spot! We were lucky to have a winter break staying at Denis and Christine's stunning home in the bay of islands. Beautiful, immaculate and well-appointed home, with an extraordinary secluded garden running down to the waters edge. The house has everything you could need, including the best kitchen I've ever come across in my Airbnb adventures. We kayaked in the local bays, toured the historic area, and enjoyed a roaring fire each evening. Denis and Christine were also incredible hosts - meeting us on arrival, checking in during our stay, and sharing some of their fresh caught snapper! Hope to go back again soon.
