Located in rural Tauranga we have farm animals & plenty of land for you to explore. Get in touch if you want to book one night only or BYO dogs, or add a double bed campervan or BYO Camper .

Our beachfront cabins in Pahoia halfway between Katikati and Tauranga are simple cabins, true bach-styled simplicity with a few of the modern luxuries to make it easy to enjoy your break.

20 meters from your deck is the lovely white sandy inner harbour Pahoia Beach. The great thing about this beach is you are never faced with big waves, only gentle lapping at your feet. Bring your 4 legged family members, we have plenty of room.

Go fishing off the front lawn & catch your dinner, walk a short distance along the beach to Pahoia Domain & catch dinner off the rock. Enjoy the privacy but knowing you are only 13 minutes drive to Tauranga’s CBD.

Katikati Bird Gardens

Located on the outskirts of Katikati, the bird gardens is a lovely spot for a leisurely stroll. $11 entry fee and no shortage of chickens, turkeys and the odd peacock roaming free. There are a number of other birds to be viewed and the gardens themselves are beautiful.

Swim At The Aongatete Water Holes

The Aongagtete Swimming Holes are a gorgeous local spot to explore. From the car park, it’s an easy 30 minutes walk to the pools through Pūriri and Kohekohe forest. We went for a quick swim and then relaxed in the sun near the pools.

A Stroll Through Haiku Park

Take a wander through Haiku Park, situated in the heart of Katikati. Down by Uretara stream, you’ll find a collection of carved haiku poems dotted throughout the park. Plenty of green space makes this a great picnic spot in good weather.

Mauao Summit Walk

Hike to the top of Mount Maunganui's most famous landmark. The walk takes about 30 minutes, maybe shorter or longer depending on fitness. You are able to choose between two scenic tracks to reach the extinct 232 metre high volcanic cone summit. The view from the top is worth the effort, I promise. PS: no drones as this is a sacred Maori site and you need to show respect.
