We stayed two nights at the Colonial House Motel during our trip around the North Island, and would rate it among the best of the motels we stayed at. The hosts are really welcoming, friendly and helpful; the units are nice and well-equipped (and with lots of free SkyTV-channels). The motel is situated in a really pleasant and quiet location...

We were in Keri Keri for our son's wedding and are so pleased we stayed at the Colonial House Motel. Andrea and Alan are great hosts and were excellent to deal with. We would stay again and we will tell anyone we can to stay there also.

My friend and I were attending a wedding in Kerikeri and thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Colonial. While Kerikeri is beautiful and the wedding was great, our stay was made even better by Alan and Andrea at the Colonial who simply couldn't do enough for us. They made us feel so welcome and were extremely helpful with booking excursions,... More

We chose this motel as it was central to all the things we had planned, also because it offered a 2 bedroom cabin. The hosts were very welcoming and went out of their way to make sure we new all the wonderful attractions in the Kerikeri area. This is one of the few motels that we would like to return... More

A family wedding is what brought us to stay for four nights at the Colonial House Motel. Upon arrival, we were greeted by our lovely hosts Andrea and Alan and found that they really made our stay exceptional being a party of 16 over the four nights we stayed. We loved the surroundings, the decks where we could sit to... More

As a Sales Rep covering the North Island I see a Motel room or two with my job. Colonial House Motel is where I prefer to stay whenever I'm in Northland as the surroundings are simply idyllic. Sit on your own porch at sunset watching Fantails & Tui's swooping amongst the mix of native & tropical plants. The new pillows... More

We stayed for three nights and were a little dissapointed at the standard for what we paid per night. The room was adequate enough, with the beds being clean and comfortable but the shower stall and kitchen could have been a little cleaner. Sky TV was fine as long as you were prepared to pay for some channels. Overall just... More

Hi 1811027Gary, thank you so much for your comments, they were most helpful and constructive. No, we are not your average motel – we are not the normal concrete block, tarmac and utilitarian furniture motel. We have wooden cabins set in lush subtropical gardens, extremely quiet and relaxing (you awake to birdsong), gravel driveways and not one piece of “conference... More
