From the first moments of our check in we were delighted to be greeted warmly, with nothing a bother. Our unit was double bedroomed and value for money. Toiletries were of a high standard. I was impressed there were complimentary daily newspapers, not often found! A very pleasant 2 day stay!

Loved it! Gorgeous little place in the woods in kerikeri town. About a 5min walk to restaurants etc. Secluded! With a pool and a cute cat. Booked on the day through Agoda.com. Unfortunately booked at the same time as a walk in. Rung to confirm arrival time after 8pm and he lovely lady gave me another room, an upgrade for the same price. So relaxing. I sat on the balcon...

We stayed three nights. It was great base for touring the whole of this northern area of New Zealand. The acommodation was ideal, modern and spotless, especially well equipped for self catering. It is too far from the centre of Kerikeri to walk in, and no footpath for most of the way, so if you want to eat out you will probably have to drive. The best feature w...

Decks have been added to each unit. Free laundry which was an extra bonus because we were coming off a 5 day kayaking trip. Great also if you've been to the beach. Extremel...

The lodge is operated by a couple and one of them is Japanese, that means it's squicky clean, attention to detail, and world-class service. Room is nicely decorated, WIFI is free and fast. View from dining table is awesome. Very friendly host and very accomodating.

Very briefly and honestly put the motel is a great value for money, in fact, at the end of your stay you would definitely be pleased about your decision to choose Orchard. The staff are friendly and welcoming. The rooms are spacious and clean to a standard that you would not worry about your infant crawling on the carpet and picking something nasty.
