    The cottage was very clean and comfortable. The location to everything is good. The peace and quiet is a bonus considering the cottage is so close to town. The owners made sure that everything in the cottage was fine after we arrived.

    The homely feeling we had as soon as we arrived. It was our first trip away (my son is 6 months) so was a little anxious. The cottage had everything we needed and the hosts were lovely. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will definitely be back

Relaxing sunny and newly decorated beautiful 2 bedroom cottage. Nestled in a private setting with lovely flat grounds on a large section (approx 1/3 acre) with a tranquil outlook of orange trees and open spaces. It's the perfect spot for recharging your batteries with a special time away, either visiting family, a couples getaway, a boys' fishing trip, girl's getaway, or even if you are up here to work, why not spoil yourself with somewhere lovely to come back to at the end of the day! Warm in winter or cooled down in summer with an air conditioning heat pump. Lovely sun-soaked deck for enjoying a glass of wine while the BBQ is getting ready or just sitting back with a good book and listening to the plentiful bird life - leaving the kids to run around with a ball or jump on the trampoline. We are situated in a rural setting in the beautiful Bay of Islands town of Kerikeri, just 5 minutes from cafes, restaurants, shops, beautiful bushwalks, waterfalls, and galleries. Another bonus is that we are only 2 minutes from a good boat ramp! Your filleting table is ready and waiting for that big catch! Your own access is down to the tree-lined hideaway of Kendall Cottage. ***Please ensure you have entered all your children's ages when booking****
In 2021 we relocated from the hustle and bustle of Auckland to the peace and quiet that Kerikeri has to offer. It is such a beautiful place for us to bring along our extended family, ranging in age from 4 to 80. If you find anything lacking during your stay, please know that we are responsive hosts who are dedicated to ensuring our guests are happy and comfortable. We will do our best to assist you in any way we can. Inside the cottage, you will find an information pack that contains important details about your accommodation, as well as a list of our favorite local activities and attractions in this paradise we call home!
Kendall Cottage is conveniently situated close to town, perfect for those looking to indulge in some retail therapy, pampering, dining, or exploring the many attractions that Kerikeri and the Bay of Islands have to offer. Enjoy a leisurely 9-minute walk to the amazing Parrot Place, or take a 21-minute stroll to The Stone Store, where you can grab a coffee at the Honey House Café or enjoy a drink and dinner at the Plough and Feather restaurant/bar. Located on a quiet street with a rural feel, Kendall Cottage is ideal for a relaxing 25-minute morning walk around the block to take in the beautiful water views. Kids can bike or skateboard while adults enjoy their walk. Make this your central hub for experiencing everything the Far North has to offer!
