Poripori Homestead — Hotel in North Island

We loved our stay at Poripori Homestead so much that we extended our stay for another two extra nights.

Although the location is not in the centre of a tourism area, it’s like a hidden gem close to everything. 9 min to grocery stores and shopping mall, an hour to Rotorua hot spring, 20 min to Tauranga beaches, and 30 min to Hobbiton. Marshall animal park and Mclaren falls are 5 min away.

The property is large enough to walk around. Very clean, peaceful and surrounded by all kinds of flowers, fruit trees, and birds. Our eight year old loved exploring around and pat their friendly dog, cat, and sheep.

The rooms are spacious, private, and very clean with adequate facilities. Each of the accommodations has its own fenced yard. Beds are comfortable. Beddings are fresh and spotless. The property is very quiet with birds chirping in the morning. We had great sleeps all the time.

Julian and Frances are awesome hosts. They are pleasant, accommodating, and respectful. We definitely will come back and also will recommend this place to friends...

Delightful and charming place with very friendly host - and Molly the cat !

We only booked one night because Tauranga was a half-way stop for our trip, but we really do wish we had a longer stay.Cannot recommend...

We were about 20 minutes away from the parts of Tauranga we were visiting and that was fine for us as it felt like you got away. The Crossing shopping centre which is nearby is excellent too and...
