About this property
Entire place
You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.
A Cut Above - gateway to the Bay of Islands
A Cut Above is a trendy chic, almost that little bit special kinda place. A comfortable three bedroom house with modern furnishings giving you that home away from home.
Situated in the country yet only 2 minutes from the Airport and 8 minutes into the township of Kerikeri where the local shopping and ‘must see’ attractions are there for you to enjoy. A Cut Above is a totally separate stand alone house away from crowds and is perfect for self isolation.
An ideal location to enjoy peace and quiet for those wishing to rest and relax or a fantastic base for those that want to explore the north. We are only 2.9km from the Bay of Islands airport for corporate travellers and can offer pickup and meals as part of your stay.

All the comforts of home
We had an amazing 4 night stay. The home is well stocked, private, and super comfortable. Great location let us hit all the sights we wanted to see. Beautiful property with private back patio. Hosts were very friendly and made us feel welcome. I would absolutely stay here again.

Great spot, neat place
As advertised, this great place is conveniently located just outside of town. That makes it nice and quiet, and we slept well. All the amenities are covered and we're happy during our stay. Would recommend :)

Great place for family visit
We really enjoyed our stay near Kerikeri. It is a really nice peaceful country setting with plenty of space and amenities. A real bonus for us was that it was close to historic sites and very easy to get to Waitangi, Russell and other places. Thank you for a great stay!

Awesome spot!
Perfect spot for a family catch up in the Far North. Neat setting away from the crowds, modern and clean accommodation with all the necessities for a comfortable stay away and a few extras.
