We had the best time at the Mahaanui Cottage and I doubt words will do our experience justice. We had 28 beautiful days at the farm. The cottage was more than we expected from an original farm house. It had all the facilities we needed for a long stay and many extra thoughtful touches. Our children had great fun with the array of friendly animals nearby. There are plenty of walks, and rivers to explore. The location was far enough away from the world to relax but close enough to Gisborne and Wairoa to do the weekly shop. There is a heap of activities and adventures close by included Rere Falls, Stingrays, Lake Waikaremoana, etc.
We have stayed in many beautiful locations and houses throughout this year but what will set Mahaanui apart is the hospitality of Simon and Sally. They welcomed us into their community and their life and made this stay one we will never forget. Thank you 😊
