Palm Grove CottagesAnyone traveling to the Bay Of Islands should not miss the opportunity to relax in the unique, enchanting, peaceful garden retreat with the ambience of old New Zealand, the Palm Grove Cottages. Kerikeri, with its superb restaurants, award-winning cafes, craft shops and 3 fantastic golf courses is a few minutes away from the Palm Grove Cottages.
Built around a small lake in a valley, the six individual cottages and their gardens don't come into view until you dip down the first slope. Each cottage has its own name, character, outdoor living space and garden, and faces towards the central park with water gardens.
Fully self-contained, the private cottages, nestling independent of each other amongst acres of lush tropical gardens, are easily accessible by vehicle right up to the door. You can enjoy the romance of the native birds in the surrounding evergreen foliage or stroll along the wide wooden verandahs. With each holiday home having its own decks and outdoor furniture, experience the private freedom of indoor-outdoor living, hidden by the gardens. Spaced out over an area of 5 acres the secluded cottages are far enough apart that one cottage can't be seen from the other. The serene beauty of the subtropical style gardens makes for a more relaxed stay for visitors.
