Surprisingly quiet considering it is right off the high street. Kerikeri is a peaceful rural town. The rooms are a good size with nice dining area, the kitchenette contains everything you could think of. Very nice bathrooms. The rooms are serviced daily. All very clean and comfortable. The managers are very helpful and polite. There are restaurants nearby and a supermaket about 50 metres away. All very easy. I would stay again and recommend to others too. The Stone Store is about 30 minutes walk away, then on to river and forest trails, and waterfalls.
