Diggers Valley Homestay - Kaitaia
About this place
Modern home in Northland near Kaitaia but rural enough to be considered "out in the sticks" with bi-lingual hosts offering 2 rooms as accommodation. One room has a queen size bed and the other has twin single beds, although could be altered to one double and one single on request. This place is perfect for a relaxing getaway "up north" that's fairly handy to many Northland features. With a beautiful outlook in a natural setting and hosts Lisa and William are keen to share a Maori cultural experience as they are bi-lingual (English and Maori speaking). This affordable homestay is perfect for international travellers looking to incorporate a wide array of experiences all beautiful Northland has to offer. While visiting Kaitaia, you really must visit the Herekino Forest which is home to many rare and threatened species. There is also a track in the Herekino Forest that leads through the forest forming part of the Te Araroa Pathway - a system of walks that extend along the length of New Zealand. Lisa and William may also direct you to the Raetea Forest to explore the beautiful Mangamuka Scenic Reserve which contains one of the highest quality waterways left in Northland, the Mangamuka stream.
