Peace and Tranquillity

Superb location in Kerikeri, away from the hustle and bustle that this area can have during the summer. Dot and Steve are excellent hosts and are on hand to advise if needed. In fact, I found them to be of great support when the unthinkable happened during our stay. Beds were very comfortable, and the kitchen was a delight to work in for self-catering meals. All amenities listed are accurate to description and the grounds are vast - loads of space to gallop around and Charlie the dog for company if that's your jam!

First class cottage in beautiful surroundings with very helpful hosts. Best accommodation we ever stayed in, thank you so much for making our stay special. Book with confidence you won’t be disappointed.

Steve & Dot (and we can't forget Charlie) were the perfect hosts. From the moment I booked, the communication from Steve and Dot was fantastic. On our arrival Steve greeted us with a very warm welcome and a roaring fire. The cottage was immaculate with every conceivable home comfort and we wanted for nothing throughout our stay.Charlie endlessly entertained our two dogs leaving us to relax and enjoy our surroundings.We were looking for peace and tranquility and this certainly delivered!We would highly recommend staying as you won't be disappointed.

we had an amazing stay….. host couldn’t have been more helpful if they had tried harder. The family dog just made us so welcome and was so well behaved and a joy to have visit and tell us what he had been doing all day. Couldn’t recommend this stay more than I have to any couples or families…..just a delightful stunning spot. Well done Steve and Dot.

Our family of 4 adults stayed 4 nights at Peace & Tranquility. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Steve & Dot were lovely hosts, made even better with Charlie the dog visiting us for pats & for us to play frisbee with him. Steve & Dot gave clear instructions on how to find their place & even offered to do a small grocery shop before we arrived in case we didn't have time on the way!The cottage was well catered, full cooking facilities & plenty of clean towels etc.The cottage was very clean & well maintained. We will hopefully be back in the future.The Ward family

Lovely, peaceful setting, a cottage with all the mod cons, designed for comfort and convenience and set up for visitors. Steve and Dot are perfect hosts. We've stayed in many other rentals in Kerikeri over the years and this is our favorite. In fact, it's one of the best VRBO properties we've rented in more than a decade of retirement travel. Highly recommended.

Lovely accommodation, very friendly hosts, including Charlie the dog. The dog sitting was a great additional bonus and meant we could do a boat trip. Beautiful big garden for us all to roam in. Thanks for having us.

At peace and tranquillity, the views were not only amazing but the atmosphere and hosts were wonderful!! Having spent 6 nights there and waking up to the clean crisp air gave my family and I comfort and serenity. The gardens were vast allowing my children to run around and play with the host's dog, Charlie. The house itself was perfect for a family of 4, with everything made as accessible and available as possible. Upon our arrival, Steve and Dot welcomed us into the house and explained how all the heating and other appliances worked to make everything easy for my family to use. Not only that, as we arrived late in the day they did supermarket shopping on our behalf so we could have something to eat. Peace and Tranquillity was away from the main roads allowing it to be more of a peaceful environment which was exactly what my family and I were looking for on our get away trip.

The property and hosts were excellent and attention t detail was good. Lovely setting and not too far from anything if you need to pop down the road. Charlie the dog was great company for our dog and the country feel with the other animals was a bonus. Not cheap with all the add ons but well worth it.

Never disappoints. Stayed here several times, Steve and Dot are super friendly and accommodating. The property has everything you need. And resident Charlie dog makes pals with our dogs every time.
