Across many reviews, Kauri Park Motel is praised for welcoming hosts, very clean and spacious units in quiet garden surroundings, convenient parking and a small pool, and a location handy to Kerikeri, the airport, and the Old Packhouse Market.
Many appreciate family friendly layouts, private outdoor seating, and practical kitchenettes. Thoughtful touches include a complimentary welcome drink and smooth after hours check ins. Downsides mentioned in multiple reviews include lack of air conditioning in some rooms, occasional early morning light through glass doors, a bit of noise or tight parking for a few, and isolated housekeeping or Wi Fi issues. Expect a peaceful, well kept base with practical amenities near town.

We had an enjoyable three night stay. Friendly and helpful hosts. Our unit had a large comfortable bed, a sofa and a table and two chairs. Separate en suite shower and toilet room. Plenty of hot water. Small kitchenette with fridge, two-ring hob, microwave, toaster, kettle, sink, crockery, cutlery, saucepans, frying pan and utensils. Table and two chairs outside on a small deck in a garden area. Parking right outside the unit. The Lodge is really 'hidden away' on the outskirts of Kerikeri and feels private - although it's only a short drive to the centre of town. There's a nice Thai restaurant nextdoor and also a chocolate factory with shop (somewhat upmarket with prices to match). Everything was very clean and in very good condition. Comfortable and convenient for our time in the Bay of Islands area.

Great (salty-ish) pool that wasn't stinging the eyes when swimming which was a highlight for my family. The farmers market is a very short walk across the road. There's plenty of places to eat along the one stretch of road. Nice and quiet place at night. A few fruit trees planted around the property that we could pick from. Fantastic place, would go again.

Quiet and quaint with all the amenities we needed. Great after a long day of driving! Unit was tidy and clean. Lovely to have allocated parking right outside our room which was covenient for my elderly Mum. Check in and out a breeze with no hassels. 2min drive into town. Pool was great. Thank you to Jackie and the staff. Amazing! 10/10

It was exceptional clean and very good located, also the service was friendly and over average. The only thing is the parking spot which was a little bit narrow in our case in property #1 and the entrance has both ways enter/exit in one path which makes difficult if we encounter another car in our path which occurred once.

Our stay was short but, it’s slightly out from the city centre but there is an amazing place across the road for a Saturday’s farmers market. we had a lot of fun in the swimming pool. It was very clean and our kids loved the pool. And then when having a shower. The water pressure was amazing. The rooms were spotless, The staff were easygoing and friendly can not fault their service. We would definitely stay here again.

Chose hotel based on reviews. Now confused. Reception is a sparce room with a bench. No carpark and had to park parallel to a bush on a dirt roundabout. Room smelt very musty. Owner while nice was awkward especially when I inquired if another room was available due to noisy neighbor. Did not realise on booking that rooms were not air conditioned. Not good for summer temperatures. Mattress was hard as a rock and room fridge never got below cool.Stayed the night before in Novotel Auckland Airport for $30 more. This is a rip off for the charge. Stay somewhere else.

There was a lovely Thai restaurant next door, a bakery across the road for fresh breakfast pastries and, to top it off, an exclusive chocolate shop two doors away! We would highly recommend a stay here!

Our flight from Sydney to Auckland was cancelled 6 days prior to arriving, meaning it was impossible to keep our reservation. The hotel was not accommodating because of their 7 day policy. Eventually passed it off to Expedia and washed their hands of us. They could have worked with us and Expedia and made the choice to not care and to keep our $250 for the single night we were booked. We are very displeased at their lack of consideration.

Nice, clean, quiet motel tucked away enough from the main road so it wasn’t noisy, close to both the airport and town centre. The staff were lovely and accomodating for us as we had a later check in. Happy with our stay.

What a find! Lovely lodge with everything you could want for your stay, Even a private veranda to sit and have breakfast and just enjoy the birds. We were able to pick plums off the tree. There was a lovely Thai restaurant next door, a bakery across the road for fresh breakfast pastries and, to top it off, an exclusive chocolate shop two doors away! We would highly recommend a stay here!

Only had an overnight stay here but after arriving on a late flight from Brisbane, we found our way here without any problems and as instructed we found our unit easy enough. Very clean and comfortable and a lovely tranquil setting to wake up to. Close to airport and town.

We had an enjoyable three night stay. Friendly and helpful hosts. Our unit had a large comfortable bed, a sofa and a table and two chairs. Separate en suite shower and toilet room. Plenty of hot water. Small kitchenette with fridge, two-ring hob, microwave, toaster, kettle, sink, crockery, cutlery, saucepans, frying pan and utensils. Table and two chairs outside on a small deck in a garden area. Parking right outside the unit. The Lodge is really 'hidden away' on the outskirts of Kerikeri and feels private - although it's only a short drive to the centre of town. There's a nice Thai restaurant nextdoor and also a chocolate factory with shop (somewhat upmarket with prices to match). Everything was very clean and in very good condition. Comfortable and convenient for our time in the Bay of Islands area.

Great (salty-ish) pool that wasn't stinging the eyes when swimming which was a highlight for my family. The farmers market is a very short walk across the road. There's plenty of places to eat along the one stretch of road. Nice and quiet place at night. A few fruit trees planted around the property that we could pick from. Fantastic place, would go again.

Lovely clean room with comfortable bed and relaxing outdoor area. Felt very private. Only small downside was no oven but we enjoyed the Thai restaurant next door and the location is directly opposite a market which was also cool.

Excellent on all counts, from friendly check-in, help with laundry, well equipped and spotlessly clean accommodation, great little swimming pool and the super Old Packhouse Market opposite. Good location about a mile from town centre.

We arrived later on the Friday evening. Our room was right there waiting for us. It was clean and comfortable, the nicest layout of a motel room I have seen for years. We walked across the road to the Market at the 'Old Pack House' where there was live music playing, people kicking back, or kicking up their heels! It was so much fun! We loved our short stay here.

The managers were wonderful accommodating our very late booking and check-in the driving us to the airport the next day (after allowing us a late checkout). The room was lovely, it’s a shame we couldn’t stay longer. Highly recommend this place to anyone wanting a good place to stag in Kerikeri. Thank you
