We thoroughly enjoyed our stay with Debbie and Mesa. The separate part of the house has a good kitchen, lots of space and character. And even more important, it sits on a fantastic, pastoral property with an amazing richness of fruits and vegetables growing everywhere. Our hosts took time to show us around and sharing in their enthusiasm for the place was a highlight of our travels.
Pakaraka is off the beaten path but very well located only an 18 minute drive from Waitangi and the Bay of Islands. We highly recommend this place.
