Great spot only marred by wrong check in instructions
Arrived early evening to find a locked gate that we didn’t have the code to. Call and text owner and no answer as she was away. Start virtual chat with Bookabach support that was useless (questions like have I checked my email for the code..). Luckily the accommodation had a QR code on a sign which gave us a different number to call and we were advised that we hadn’t been sent the correct check in instructions. With that all sorted, it was a lovely peaceful stay and our daughter loved the animals on site. So a reminder to all booking to check you have the gate code to get in if arriving late.

Pod stay
Overall our stay was enjoyable. It is a quiet and peaceful setting. The amenities were as advertised and the hosts were always available. We would advise that the bathroom is attached to the kitchen pod not the living pod, so any nocturnal visits,you need to go outside to the kitchen pod. On the whole a good place to relax,which we would recommend.

Papamoa farm life
We had a very cosy stay, thank you. The accommodation was clean and recently decorated, with the added bonus of fresh eggs from the farm for breakfast. The owners were very friendly with good communication before and during the stay. Directions to find the place and get in were nice and clear. My son also loved petting the lamb and goat! Would definitely stay again if we're in the area.

AMAZEBALLS!
From the word go, Nina was amazing with communication and so accommodating to the needs of our 21 mth old pup. When we arrived, the pod was amazing and so were the facilities, space and convenient location. We thoroughly enjoyed the space and the farm animals on the premises. Sad to leave, but excited for the next time we come back - and we will!

What a great little gem!
The main living space is separated from the kitchen and bathroom, but all the pods are linked and under cover so it wasn’t a problem even with rain. The pod-living style was actually a unique experience in itself! The kitchen is modern and perfectly equipped. We almost never used the indoor table as it’s so lovely to eat outdoors, with the sound of birds and the view of the hills! There’s also a little kitchenette in the living room which was perfect for preparing a cup of tea in the morning or evening without leaving the main pod. The bed was comfy and there’s plenty of closet space in the main bedroom. The outdoor space is spacious with a beautiful view and very private. It was a treat collecting fresh eggs in the morning! You can pet the rabbits and the goats (Mara and Wednesday are so friendly that they usually come to you and walk with you). We loved having Papamoa Hills Regional Park around the corner (walking distance from the pod!) with gorgeous paths and amazing views, and Papamoa town and beach are just a short drive away. It exceeded our expectations and we’d definitely recommend it!
