The Summer House is situated 2 minutes drive from Kerikeri Village and pick up from the airport can be arranged. Hosts Christine and Rod Brown have drawn inspiration from their wonderful travel experiences in Europe to create the perfect retreat for overnight, weekend or longer stays in this architecturally designed home set in a tranquil hectare of citrus orchard and sub-tropical garden.
Suites:
Each suite has great flair - in one, an antique French bed and furniture, a Victorian brass bed in another and a semi-detached self-contained suite with a South Pacific theme. All have luxurious ensuites.
Breakfast:
Christine's bountiful breakfasts are served in the dining room or on the sunny patio overlooking the sub-tropical garden and pond and may include fresh and poached fruits of the region, homemade bread, muffins, frittata, free-range eggs as you like them, corn fritters with spiced mandarins and many other choices. Organic coffee and tea are available along with freshly squeezed juice from the orchard.
