Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Learn more about our review moderation.

Idyllic stay. Private and well appointed clean accommodation. Our Garden View room had everything we needed including plates and bowls for DIY breakfast. There are a range of room options. Booking process was easy. The salt water pool and spa are great! Easy walk to town and plenty of cafe and restaurant options.

Such a beautiful place to stay. The receptionist welcomed us with a smile and the room was very well kept. Definitely planning on coming back again. Absolutely recommend staying here. The water pressure was amazing and to have a binder of some activities, attractions and restaurants in our room was a great touch

I don't generally post negative reviews as I know how much it can affect a business. The girls at reception are the rudest I have ever come accross. No greetings or directions to your room, just a card and your "15 minutes early". We paid over $1100 for a 3 night stay for our family of four and were made to feel like we were asking for the world when we popped up to reception for a 4th knife and fork. If you want even a smile on arrival I suggest you don't stay here!!

This is a hidden treasure. Its tucked away from everything but is walking distance to the shops. The grounds are very well kept and well landscaped. The pool area with seats and BBQs was awesome and well used. There is a spa as well but we didnt use it. The rooms are more like a hotel and very well appointed. Nothing has been overlooked and all amenities well thought out. The bed was super comfy, the linen above expectation. The staff were friendly and helpful. A tub of all amenities was left in our room with a note saying that the room would not be serviced on New Years Day as they gave most of the team the day off to spend with their families. I really liked this as it showed the managers of the property care about their staff. Overall I was impressed and I look forward to staying here again.

Stayed one night in lovely looking facility. On arrival, woman on reception was not friendly at all, had broken blind in room so no privacy when dark with lights on in the evening and then found pillow in wardrobe with hair all over it. Not to mention marks on the wall above sofa bed... would hate to think what this had come from. Won't stay here again. Really disappointed considering it cost $285 for the night.

We do apologize that you did not receive our best level of service. Unfortunately on hindsight we should not have allowed an unexpected early check in until the room had been cross checked as this is most definitely not our usual standard. We also recommend that guests tell us while onsite if there are any issues as we can then sort the problem out immediately its really no trouble :)

We had a one bedroom unit booked. It was one of the best units we have stayed in. Absolutely everything one would need. handy to shops and restaurants. Spacious. New smart TV of a decent size. Absolutely clean. Dishwasher. etc. Spacious grounds and a pool which woudld be great in the summer. Would certainly stay again. Although we had a one bedroom unit I could see in the standard units that they were great also at a lesser price.

Overall this is a lovely place to stay very central very clean very modern, Set and lovely landscape grounds with easy access to the Village area. However they have a three day cancellation policy which means it’s very inflexible should your circumstances change.

This place exceeded expectations by so much. Trying to find accom to suit all our needs with a toddler and wanting as much of a 'holiday' as we could. Beautiful rooms, well designed, clean, well equipped in a gorgeous setting. Favs aspects were snuggly robes, spas, pool, view, sunset (poured into our room), palms, resort like asthetics, balcony, full kitchen, comfy bed, crisp lux linen, friendly staff, location, Tv with Netflix (down time for kids). Almost dont want to be so honest and this place get booked out as we feel like we've found a Gem. Friends are already looking to stay from our holiday pics and reviews. 5 stars!

An amazing place to stay as a group for a special occasion. We were looked after so well and all requests were never a problem! The BBQ facilities around the pool were also superb. Highly recommend Homestead Motel Kerikeri.
