Auckland, December 2017:  The news is out — the cities with the best hotels in New Zealand are revealed, with Kerikeri well represented being home to some of the country’s best hotels. Based on over 200 million traveler ratings, www.trivago.co.nz presents its 2017 ranking of the top destinations and hotels loved by the masses. Kerikeri Park Lodge is ranked number one in Kerikeri and within the top 50 hotels in New Zealand. Kerikeri also was named the best destination in New Zealand to visit for the first time.

"Our service concept of “Casual Luxury” through exceeding guest expectations is truly rewarding both guests and the property and we are so proud of our small team who have been able to achieve these results in a relative short period of time. Most of all, knowing our guests are leaving with a positive, lasting memory of Northland and New Zealand is self-fulfilling” said Troy Clarry, commenting on the recent ranking results.

Troy believes that Kerikeri Park Lodge’s success is largely due to Donna and Gary, the talented team at the property who are always guest focused, improving on status quo, understanding the ever-changing needs of all guests and their stunning park-like location within Kerikeri.
