Featuring barbecue facilities and views of garden, Kerigold Secluded Chalets Motel is set in Kerikeri, 21 km from Opua Forest. Featuring a garden, the 4-star motel has air-conditioned rooms with a private bathroom. There is a sun terrace and guests can make use of free WiFi and free private parking. It is really a little secluded and though so close to the main street and thus to downtown Kerikeri. You have your own parking right in front of the cabin, which makes it so comfortable to pack and unpack without limitation. Great to have a kitchen and all necessities around. You couldn't really ask for more. Sarah, the host, is absolutely amazing as she tries to help in every way, whether it's for a trip to do or for dinner/lunch possibilities. The one she suggested was amazing and due to my short stay, I couldn't try all of them.

Free parking is available on site. Limited boat parking and mountain bike storage is also available and must be booked in advance. The motel also offers laundry facilities and luggage storage. Location is a little out of town but only about a short walk away. It is in a sunny spot, but there is some road noise as it's near a junction although most of the time this isn't an issue. It's about a 5 min or less walk to the beach and about a 15 min walk/short drive to the Treaty Grounds or similar in opposite direction to town. Owners were very friendly and knowledgeable about places to visit in the area. Very spacious room Great shower Loads of kitchen equipment if needed
