Peaceful Pikowai

For our family of 4 adults and 3 children this beautiful home was perfect, with plenty of rooms to sneak away too and many little nooks in the whare where was always somewhere to go for a bit of peace when needed hehe. The humongous dining table was a favorite feature, the heart of the home that allowed us to share many scrumptious meals over and indulge in a very loud night of family games lol Although the typical Aotearoa weather and rain was almost a constant throughout our whole stay the pool was still a hit and kept our tamariki busy throught our stay. One recommendation I would make though is to perhaps get a dryer or have an inside line so guests can dry washing if it's raining, luckily Whakatāne is just a quick trip away and we could pop over there to do our washing. Overall our stay was beautiful, peaceful, the views were amazing, Pikowai's very own gem x

About the host

Hosted by Cathy and Mark

The house is the original farm homestead for an old dairy farm, which was subdivided around 30 years ago. It then became an organic Angus stud for a short period of time then turned into the 'Pohutukawa B&B' which operated for a number of years. We purchased the property in 2016 and love sharing it with others to enjoy over the summer
