Roses to Die For

Keri Keri is blooming with beautiful flowers and stunning spring
growth. We are enjoying a stunning spring which bodes well for
summer. Long, dry and hot. We are this year thoroughly enjoying the
fruits of our 7 years of labour in our garden. We planted Sally Holmes
Roses when we arrived in this idyllic part of New Zealand. They with

Street Party & Half Marathon

KeriKeri Street Party,

Last weekend we had the very successful ‘street party’ and half marathon. Each year more people come here and it is extremely successful. Kerikeri continues to grow into a very pretty village. Delightful cafes and shopping. New Italian shop, just gorgeous and our nearest cafe “Food at Wharepuke” is outstanding. Food prepared with great heart and fresh, delicious and mouthwatering.

From Kerikeri visitors can experience outstanding golf, early New Zealand History, the first printing press, the first store and the stories of the new missionaries being watched by the Maoris all day through their windows. One of the most awesome adventures is to visit King Fish Lodge. Visit only by water and arrive

surrounded by hundreds of Pohutakawa trees covered in red and barely a habitation in sight. Awesome.

Our Own Breakfasts

We continue to make marvelous breakfasts for all our guests.
Different china on each of the days of their stay, and handmade healthy
food.

]]> Spring in Kerikeri http://www.heritageinns.co.nz/spring-in-kerikeri/ Thu, 23 Aug 2012 10:57:55 +0000 http://heritageinnsnz.wordpress.com/?p=134 Bed of Roses is experiencing a wonderful spring. The garden looks lush and already has miniature blue agapanthus flowering as well as the topiaried limes looking prolific and startling with their abundance of beautiful golden yellow fruit. The forecast for the season is very warm. We are already experiencing temperatures of 18 degrees.

Most of the accommodations have booking for the half marathon in November. It is a great event in Kerikeri with a scintillating street party. Most people find it a very manageable track.

I had my prospective granddaughter-in-law, Mother-in-law and granddaughter staying here in Kerikeri and I took them to The Stone Store and Kemp Lodge, Waitangi and Russell and enquired which event they liked best and guess they all said The Stone Store and Kemp House. It is the most amazing of the earliest European settlement in The Bay of Islands.

Of course there is also the Hokianga which is also the true heart of early Maori and European settlement. When you hear the Maori flute and witness the waaka it is untainted Maori culture.

My son-in-law has been struck down with cancer this year. One of the lesser researched types and he has had to go to Melbourne for treatment. He has studied while fighting the disease and will now bring this wonderful treatment to New Zealand.

Kerikeri is also the centre for the most wonderful golf courses, especially Kauri Cliffs with its amazing pink beach. We have guests who love to stay here and play at Kauri Cliffs.

Kerikeri had great success in the Olympics and claimed the best place in the world to sail or learn to sail is Kerikeri. They did so well from such a small community. You are always welcome to experience this amazing culture and Bed of Roses provides a comfortable and very friendly environment.
