My husband and I decided to see Lake Waikaremoana and to stay the night in Wairoa while we were at it. We didn’t know much about Wairoa, but after meeting our luvly host, Sally, we learned much of its history and present day. This house has a lot of character! The garden is like an oasis – very green and colourful, with a nice outdoor seating area. And she made us the best Air BnB breakfast we’ve ever had. Preserved fruit from her own garden, with weetbix – free range eggs (from her own chickens) on toast – with good coffee! My husband was so happy with the breakfast he sat their chatting away for two hours! We learned a lot and were very happy with our stay. We highly recommend this little jewel of a place. Hope to visit again!
