The well-equipped kitchen, complete with a dishwasher, microwave, and full cooking amenities, invites you to prepare meals with fresh local produce. After a day of exploration, unwind in the cozy living area with satellite TV or your favorite Netflix series, or step out onto the sunny balcony to enjoy the peaceful garden views.

The hosts have also considered families and pet owners, offering children’s play areas, indoor games, and pet-friendly accommodation upon request (with no extra fees), making it a versatile choice for all types of travelers.

Explore the Bay of Islands

While the cottage itself is a destination, its location in Kerikeri places you within easy reach of some of Northland’s most captivating attractions.

• Kerikeri Mission Station & Stone Store: Just minutes away, this is New Zealand’s oldest surviving building. Steeped in history, the site includes the charming Stone Store (1836) and the adjacent Mission House. It’s a fascinating window into the country’s early Māori-European contact and colonial history, set beside the tranquil Kerikeri River.

• Rainbow Falls / Waianiwaniwa: A short drive leads to this stunning natural spectacle. An easy walking track through lush native bush brings you to a powerful waterfall that cascades into a deep pool. Visit after rain to see it at its most magnificent, and if you’re feeling adventurous, nearby tracks connect to other beautiful swimming holes.

• Waitangi Treaty Grounds: Approximately a 25-minute drive from the cottage, this is one of New Zealand’s most important historic sites. Explore the beautifully carved Māori meeting house, witness cultural performances, and tour the museum to understand the signing of the nation’s founding document. The views across the bay from the grounds are simply breathtaking.

Whether you’re grilling on your private barbecue, returning from a day of kayaking or hiking (both popular local activities easily arranged nearby), or simply enjoying a movie night in, Kendall Cottage provides the perfect, peaceful backdrop for your Bay of Islands adventure. With its combination of comprehensive amenities, warm hospitality, and an unbeatable location, it truly lives up to its name as the "Perfect Getaway."
