“Great stay, great food, great hosts”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 January 2010

We had a 3 night stay at Villa Italia in the Milano room. The place was beautiful and our room was just lovely. The hosts, Andrea and Marzia were the nicest hosts you will ever find, providing excellent authentic Italian food and plenty of great conversion. If you are going to Kerikeri, we would highly recommend staying at Villa Italia!

This B&B was the best B&B we have ever stayed in - we have travelled the world and stayed in many places - Villa Italia is highly recommended by us! The hosts, Marzia and Andrea are wonderful and you feel as if you are visiting friends and staying in their home - so friendly and welcoming. Both are great cooks... More

5 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 January 2009

This B&B is now renamed "Villa Italia" with a husband and wife team from Milan who are fantastic company and great cooks (hands-on learning the art of pizza making and breads in the outdoor oven). The owners are so enthusiastic and great fun. Rooms are very tastfully done - its just a shame we had only one night. We booked... More

“Perfect Experience”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 October 2007

We usually don't stay at B&Bs, but we are sure glad we stayed at the Kingfisher. David and Marie greeted us on arrival. This was our first stop after flying into NZ. West wing room was new and comfortable. David turned the heater on to take off the chill. We cleaned up and had tea with them as they explained... More

“Great Little B&B”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 October 2006

The Kingfisher B&B is a great place for a weekend retreat or a longer stay. David and Marie make you feel very much at home and will book restaurants, excursions or whatever you need. I'd advise taking advantage of this on public holidays when Kerikeri closes. The room was very spacious and very well appointed with DVD player, stereo and... More
