Charlies Rock Bed & Breakfast in Kerikeri

Everything was excellent. Hosts friendly and informative. Accommodating brilliant .

All of the above. Wonderful hosts - welcoming and inclusive (if you wish them to be)…stunning setting and very comfortable accommodation.

Such a beautiful spot. So handy to Kerikeri, Paihia and Russell. Faye and Ian were fabulous hosts. We had a great stay.

Amazing hosts (Ian & Faye), warm, friendly, welcoming, they made us feel so comfortable, could not wish for better hosts.The amenities were 10 out of 10.Would highly recommend them as the hosts of the year, would recommend them to family and friends.

The photos don’t do this place justice. It’s huge and luxurious. Every detail and all the little things like bedding, pillows, towels are all top-end luxury. The hosts are fantastic but also give you plenty of space to relax. The location with the waterfall is beautiful and relaxing. We are definitely staying again when I’m up there next time.

The hosts were great

Lovely peaceful location with wonderful hosts.

Our hosts were a wealth of knowledge and willingly shared valuable information on culture, food, wine and the fabulous walking trails right outside their beautiful back yard. The property was private and exquisite! Their hospitality was warm and the breakfasts were fabulous. The home is beautiful with two bedrooms each with their own bath. The setting is stunning. We loved the nightly conversations and the wine recommendations yet they were sensitive to privacy if desired. An absolute delight!

My great nephew and I spent several days at Faye and Ian’s. Our rooms were LOVELY and the attention to detail was unmatched. The swimming hole was refreshing and fun to watch as my nephew jumped from the top rocks. We made several day trips to various beaches and I swam in the warm clear NZ waters. We also visited several Maori cemeteries and our last evening we were treated to seeing huge Kauri trees and Rainbow Falls. I fell in love with Kerikeri and much of it because of our warm and welcoming hosts. Breakfast each day was an added bonus and Faye sent us on our way with passion fruit and tomatoes. Pelle and I want to thank them for their lovely hospitality.

We had such a happy stay at Charlie's Rock B&B Kerikeri. The rooms were perfect and comfortable. The location stunning, with view from the terrace to the big limestone waterfall and swimming hole. Our hosts were so very welcoming and friendly and we were more than delighted with the suggestions for day outings made by the host. On the last day we followed his advice and visited the sacred and tapu site of the battle between colonial forces and Maori warriors at Te Ruapekapeka Pa in 1845, the last battle between Ngapuhi and colonial forces sparked by the erosion of Maori land rights under Te Tiriti the treaty of 1840. The 40-minute loop walk takes you through an inspiring hill-scape from the terrace where 1200 colonial forces fired their canons at the pa, to the top of the pa where you can look back and see in the distance where the enemy gathered. A profound experience of a defining event in the history Aotearoa. Thank you Ian and Faye.
