A family wedding is what brought us to stay for four nights at the Colonial House Motel. Upon arrival, we were greeted by our lovely hosts Andrea and Alan and found that they really made our stay exceptional being a party of 16 over the four nights we stayed. We loved the surroundings, the decks where we could sit to... More

As a Sales Rep covering the North Island I see a Motel room or two with my job. Colonial House Motel is where I prefer to stay whenever I'm in Northland as the surroundings are simply idyllic. Sit on your own porch at sunset watching Fantails & Tui's swooping amongst the mix of native & tropical plants. The new pillows... More

Our motel unit was very clean and cosy for our 'winter' visit. Colonial House Motel is also in an ideal position - a short walk on one side to the beautiful Stone Store Basin with its... More

We chose this motel for our first trip rediscovering / discovering parts of New Zealand that we wanted to see after four years living in Asia. Kerikeri was an obvious choice of location being a short three and a half hours comfortable drive from Auckland. Visiting at the end of March has been another plus as the weather is settled... More
