Loved the cabin. It had everything we needed. The room with the double bed could have been a bit larger so that one could get round the bed but otherwise no complaints whatsoever. Brilliant!!

The Best in Town
Can't fault the Colonial Motel.. the onsite owners were most welcoming and friendly. The Colonial Motel is located just up the road (5 minute walk .. uphill) from Kerikeri's best hotel/restaurant the Pligh and Feather!
Dennis, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

A wonderful stay for a week. A very reasonable price for a fantastic visit. Warm and helpful staff, calm and nicely laid out grounds. Perfectly located at the centre of New Zealand's founding national sites and history (an easy walk to the Inlet with Mission Station, with its store, cafe, and a nearby pub/restaurant on the water). Altogether charming and comfortable!
