Great place to stay.

Very comfortable stay which I extended due to the post cyclone weather. Walking distance about 200m to main street shops and restaurants which is handy when parking difficult due to school holidays. Modern room and bathroom with heated towel rail.

Great Homestead Motel

Great location, just a few minutes walk into town. The receptionist was very helpful on our arrival. It was a lovely little unit, with a patio and chairs out front. The whole site is impeccable. Unfortunately due to bad weather we didn't have the opportunity to use the pool or hut tub, but they both looked very inviting.

A hidden Gem in the heart of Keri Keri

This was one of the best trips. A true revelation of “do not judge a book by its cover”. As you drive in, Keri Keri homestead does not look like much but, it will knock your socks off. My room was very modern and comfortable. Very spacious and super clean. Two nights of wonderful stay and they raised the bar of the next places i stay. It is tucked away from the road and the fresh green scenery is peaceful. Definitely now book marked as my Keri Keri “address.”

Although it’s just two minutes off the main road, this place is extremely quiet and you feel like you’re on an exotic tropical vacation. The rooms are very light and comfortable.

Overall conditions were not bad, but it was a bit cold and the bathroom is quite tiny. Also, unfortunately, I found a big cockroach.

A very disappointing stay....the room did not have any A/C, it was hot. It was noisy, very outdated, one of the worst motels to stay. I stayed for 4 nights and I couldn't have any good sleep during my stay. I'm usually not a picky person but I will not recommend this motel. Don't be deceived by the pictures of a swimming pool.
