Very handy to town centre. Very private. Wake up to the bird singing. Lovethe fruit trees around. This is a pet-friendly accommodation, which is hard to find. The chalet is excellent.

The rooms were very clean, bedroom is a bit tight (no space for suitcases to open), the lounge area though is large enough. The location is very quiet and in a very well-kept, beautiful complex.

The cleansity, facilities and location of the motel were all fantastic! It's located right by the bay and in walking distance to shops, restaurants and the ferry wharf. Also, the Waitangi treaty grounds are right around the corner.

The Bounty was an awesome motel. It had everything we needed for a 2-night stay. Great cooking facilities, great shower, fantastic beds and was within walking distance to everything. The Bounty was our base while we visited the Far North of NZ, Russell, Waitangi and all around the area. So much to see.

The motel was in close proximity to the Saturday market and Makana chocolate factory- 2 of the more popular destinations in Kerikeri. The self- contained units were clean and spacious. The location was in a tranquil setting, surrounded by trees and park-like greenery. Staying in the motel puts one in a restful mode.

Cute motel with sea views from the balcony, as promised. Very comfortable inside, well laid out and clean. The kitchen amenities were top notch - good quality provisions, and even included ground coffee sachets for the plunger! Comfortable bed and lots of extra bedding, with a homemade quilt on top. There were lots of other homey touches throughout the apartment. I thought it was great value for money and a great place to base ourselves for exploring the Bay of Islands.
