My stay at this resort was nothing short of incredible! The surroundings were tranquil, filled with lush gardens and a beautiful lake, providing a magical atmosphere. The accommodations were unique and charming, but cleanliness was a concern that dampened the experience for me. Overall, the resort provided good value for money and incredible amenities, but I had issues with cleanliness in our cottage.

The cottage we initially stayed in had a bad and sour smell, and the kitchenette was quite dirty. After switching to another cottage, it was still a bit better but not ideal in terms of cleanliness.

My stay at Avalon Resort was absolutely incredible! As soon as I drove down the long, picturesque driveway, I was enchanted by the surrounding nature and wildlife. The resort's grounds were peaceful and felt miles away from the hustle and bustle of town, despite being close to city amenities. The pool area was stunning and perfect for relaxation. However, I do wish there were a bit more dining options nearby, as I had to drive to find restaurants for dinner. Overall, it was a fantastic experience that I can't wait to share with friends.

I had a fantastic stay at Avalon Resort in Kerikeri! The serene surroundings were perfect for unwinding, especially after long days out exploring. The cottages were self-contained, making it easy to relax with good beds and a well-equipped kitchen. The natural pool and hot tub added a lovely touch to the experience. However, it is slightly secluded, and dining options nearby can be limited. Overall, it's a lovely choice for a peaceful retreat!

My stay at Avalon Resort was absolutely delightful! Tucked away in a beautiful natural setting, it truly felt like a peaceful sanctuary. The staff were incredibly accommodating, and the room was immaculate and well-equipped.

We stumbled upon a charming resort tucked away from the hustle and bustle. The peaceful surroundings were a delight, and although the mattress was a bit too firm for our liking, the overall experience was enjoyable. The staff were accommodating, even upgrading our room, which felt very gracious. For its value, I'd definitely recommend it, but I wouldn't describe it as ideal for restful sleep.

Rooms

The room had character with a lovely Balinese feel, equipped with a kitchenette that was very usable. However, the mattress was quite firm, making sleep less comfortable.
