Nina’s place is a dream come true. We stayed here for a month with our 5yo and our 3yo, and we all absolutely loved it!
The AirBnb is very well equipped, and Peter and Nina go out of their way to make your stay pleasant and enjoyable.
The kids loved having a lot of space and freedom to wander around, and being able to see and feed the animals: they fell in love with Mara the goat, and every day they’d go play with her and collect fresh leaves to feed her. They also enjoyed feeding the chickens and collecting the eggs to take to Peter and Nina. When we arrived the kids were slightly afraid of the animals and struggled getting to the top of the farm hill, and by the time we left they were comfortable with all the animals and could walk to the top of the highest hill of the regional park on their own: this place really allowed them to thrive!
The AirBnb is quiet, reserved, and very relaxing: it’s right next to the Papamoa Hills Regional Park, where we went several times to hike, discover plants with the kids or sit on the bench and enjoy the view.
Supermarkets, shops, cafes and the beach are all about 10 minutes away by car, and the location is perfect to explore the best of the best of the Northern Island.
If we ever come back to New Zealand, we feel like we now have a home away from home.
