About this house rental
Open plan dining/lounge/kitchen adjacent to two outdoor decks (Gas BBQ supplied). Kitchen has a well stocked pantry (just replace what you use). House is double glazed (not second bedroom). Guests have use of a reserve 200 metres away that is not available for public access from the shore. 9.5 Km from Kerikeri on a private road of 17 houses. Light interiors, coastal theme with tile floors (second bedroom carpet). Separate Cottage (sleeps up to five, 30 metres away. Has en-suite bathroom & kitchenette).
Property has mature Puriri, Pohutukawa, Olive and pepper tree (a member of the cashew family that produces pink peppercorns). Children are welcome provided you understand there is water very close to the house (not fenced) and the lush tropical grounds contain many volcanic rocks and plants with prickles/thorns. Therefore children are fine provided they are under continuous supervision outside. Also the Lanai has a 700mm (two foot) drop to the adjacent garden beds. An exit clean is included in the rental price but there is no daily cleaning.
Special conditions:
Property is OK for children aged 5+. Younger children must be supervised at all times outside as half the property is close to water with numerous access points andamp; is not fenced. Also the landscaping which is tropical has numerous spikes/thorney species/roses. The property is suitable for small weddings/anniversaries but as we are a quiet rural setting with neighbours 100 metres away on either side, outdoor noise must abate by 10pm.
Extras: Linen (included); NOTE: Under Kiwi bach tradition you are expected to: Clean the house and do the dishes before you leave; leave towels, sheets & pillowcases in the laundry. We will wash for you after departure.

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.

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.
