"Re-defining the B and B....One word: WOW. The feel of the place is 100% elegance without unnecessary frills, contemporary and chic without being too-cool-for school. Everything about the place is exquisitely understated..The food is fresh, tasty and made with TLC. The host - Richard - is quietly attentive, knowledgeable, and funny (and a divine cook). The lodge has a dreamy chilled-out vibe, without the crystals and purple!...If you're looking for a nourishing experience where you get the chance to press pause on your busy day while pondering the view - stop looking now, you've found it."

"Two great nights in Kerikeri.  Prior to our visit to this part of Northland we had been instructed to stay at the Stone Store Lodge as it was the best place to stay while in Kerikeri and this was the absolute truth."  Full Review posted on TripAdvisor, March, 2010

"Just the best.  We first stayed here in 2006 and returned recently because it was just the best. Don't think of staying anywhere else!" Full Review posted on TripAdvisor, February, 2010.

"Great location - wonderful views.  We found the location to be excellent with the rooms looking toward the Kerikeri inlet. Richard was very helpful in providing tips for places to see and was an excellent chef in preparing top breakfasts. We will certainly stay again if we venture to the Bay of Islands."

"Absolutely Fantastic! We only stayed at Stone Store for one night which was altogether not long enough! Richard was an excellent host who looked after us incredibly well and gave us a delicious breakie. The rooms were beautiful, the beds comfy and the house stunning. The location was perfect and it's one of the best places I've stayed in the NZ especially considering the not completely over the top price."  Read Review posted on TripAdvisor, November 2009.

"Highly recommended accommodation in New Zealand.  This is the best place we have stayed in New Zealand. It is modern, very clean, very friendly and amazing scenery and location. It is also within walking distance to some very good restraunts. We are looking forward to the next stay" Review posted on TripAdvisor, October 2009.
