Papamoa
9.6 out of 10, Exceptional, (27)
"I had a wonderful stay! The view was fantastic, and the bed was incredibly comfortable. The kitchen was fully equipped with everything. The property is located in a quiet area, surrounded by beautiful nature, great outdoor sitting area, yet still very convenient — short drive to the shops in Papamoa. This visit was for work, so I didn’t get a chance to meet the farm pets, but I definitely plan to come back for a holiday. I’m sure my daughter will absolutely love it here too! Highly recommend! "
