    Loved the cottage and garden. Found it hard to find the cottage however and drove up and down the main road looking for it for a while. Had to ask in a restaurant in the end. Beautifully appointed. Would stay again, especially now I know where to...

    Location was good to explore the historic North: Kerikeri, Waitangi and Russell. We can recommend New Market supermarket in Kerikeri for food. Rainbow Falls are worth of seeing, just a few minutes by car

    The cottage is set well away from the main road in its own sectioned off part of garden, so it is very peaceful and private. Facilitates are very good. Had everything we needed. It was a hot and sunny weekend so the air conditioning was very much...

Welcome to Kingfisher Cottage our 'home away from home'. Kingfisher Cottage was originally the parachute packing hut for Paihia Airport and its intrepid sky divers. We bought the small shed in 2019 and used it as our donkey's hay shed and then made it into accommodation making it twice the size to live in, while we built our new home. Kingfisher Cottage is in a quiet garden location down a no exit road. We have lots of lovely birds visit including tuis, fantails, kingfishers, morporks and kiwi at night. Our cottage has a tranquil feel about it and it endeavours to provide everything you need for a comfortable stay.
David & I welcome you to Kingfisher Cottage and we hope you enjoy your stay with us. We are in a quiet spot but very close to everything the Bay of Islands has to offer, albeit restaurants, cafes, markets and walking & cycling trails, art galleries, beaches and much, much more.
The famous Stone Store is 2 minutes drive away and adjacent to the lovely restaurant the Plough & Feather. ( Bookings preferred) Rainbow Falls is walking distance along the Waitotara Reserve and walkway and provides a breathtaking view of the river and it's falls. The puketi forest is a good place to explore on a sunny day and also the beaches and coast of Matauri Bay, where the Greenpeace Warrior is laid to rest. The area has lots of lovely walks and trails to explore and of course the shopping and week-end markets of Kerikeri.
