  We loved our stay there, it was comfortable, well supplied and warm. The gentleman running the place was light-hearted, and funny. The lovely dog Nika made the stay even more entertaining. Would definitely stay again.

  I love the north Island especially around the Bay of Plenty. Miles of orchards, beautiful coast lines and quaint one street towns plotted all over the state highways. So when I had an opportunity to do a road trip up north for a weekend, I jumped at the word "Kerikeri" and "90 Mile beach!" Anyway, like most road trips, someone else booked the accommodation. The place she choose for us was the Relax a Lodge in Kerikeri.
  
  I'm not a complete snob when it comes to booking accommodation but I do have a standard I like to be met. I mean, I like camping and roughing it a bit, now and then, so when I pulled up to Relax a Lodge I wasn't expecting a multi-roomed B&B (main house) with cabins (3). The atmosphere inside the main B&B was like a monks shrine. I don't know why it was like that but maybe it was the fact that everyone was in bed by 10pm. Or maybe it was the French couple who bitched at us when we were to noisy playing cards?! Okay I admit it was a drinking card game but come on it's the weekend! Either way, we as quests felt very uncomfortable and somewhat less than welcomed.
  
  The Amenities inside the main B&B consisted of 4-5 bookable rooms. Some with double beds, some had multiple beds in different sizes. So make sure you tell them about your sleeping arrangement. The kitchen is communal and well stocked with cooking equipment and cutlery. They'll even supply you with the basic herbs and spices. The Living area is well furnished with rustic charm. There is no TV but you do get free wifi. They also provide you with some basic old card and board games.
  
  They have one communal toilet. Very inconveniently, it has the toilet and shower in one room. With a full house of quest, I found myself stalking the toilet like some pervert waiting to get lucky. Not good especially first thing in the morning.
  
  Checking in and out was relatively easy. Payment was easy too. Cash or Credit card only no EFTPOS.
  
  Advice: Book directly off their website to avoid extra fees. Cheaper.
  
  Pros: Nice and quiet. Clean. Free unlimited oranges to eat. Farm Charm.
  Cons: One toilet. No TV. Rooms attached to living area can be annoying. You feel like you have to tread lightly in the main B&B.
  
  Conclusion: Nice but would I stay there again? No, once was enough for me. For the same price I could be in a motel with modern conveniences and a better atmosphere.

  Very welcoming staff and dog Nika, lovely cottage amidst the orange trees, very private.
  The house was clean and comfortable, beds were good, bathroom immaculate and the bubble bath a joy to our kids. We slept till late, undisturbed, it was absolute the most relaxed stay ever! And the oranges? They are the best!
  If you want to unwind, to relax, to have a lovely time with family or friends in the middle of a fruitgarden with Kerikeri
