Perfect Pool Experience

During my stay, I absolutely adored the fresh water pool located just a short distance from our rooms. It was perfect for unwinding after a day of exploring. Surrounded by nature, the pool area created a serene environment that was ideal for both relaxation and fun!

Great for Families

I traveled with my kids, and they loved the accommodations. The cottage had plenty of sleeping space and even a small bath, making bath time so much easier. The friendly animals around the resort added to their joy, giving them a unique experience.

Delicious Breakfast Options Nearby

The bakery near the resort was a good discovery! We enjoyed amazing breakfast options every morning, including pies that were simply to die for. It was the perfect way to start our day of exploring the beautiful surroundings.

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!

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.
