Your Hosts

YOUR HOSTS

Patrece and Greg, alongside their Rottweiler ‘Hudson’ and Fox Terrier ‘Ginny’, are your hosts at Kikitangeo Cabin. Also working on the farm are Gordon and Trish, father and stepmother to Patrece.

The farm has been in Patrece's family since 1872. Gordon (Patrece's father) planted many of the trees on the property so the family feel a special connection to the land.

The stunning coasts, great cafés and markets, beautiful views, and its reasonable distance to Whangarei and Auckland - all contribute to their love for the location.

After hearing about glamping in articles and from family and friends, they decided to build on their beautiful farmland so others can enjoy the paradise they have created.

The word 'Kikitangeo' comes from the name of the farm and the mountain seen from the cabin.

“ I am obsessed! Everything about this place was amazing! I stayed two nights, the night before and the night of my wedding, and got ready here with my bridesmaids. It ticked all the boxes. What a great spot! Even though it’s close to Wellsford town, you feel miles away from anyone. Also, the host Patrece was sooo lovely and helpful. ”

“ Kikitangeo Cabin is pure magic, tucked away in a stunning setting that feels a world apart from the ‘big smoke’ (although such a short drive!). It’s got everything you need, plus an awesome shower, and that perfect Canopy Camping vibe done right. Simple, special, and seriously relaxing, couldn’t ask for more! ”

“ We found the cabin to be a beautiful escape. Just an hour out of Auckland, but it feels like you are in a different world. The cabin is very well insulated and was warm and very dry despite heavy rain outside. It has everything we needed, including cooking facilities, BBQ, pots, pans, etc. We saw sheep, cows, and goats every day, which made it extra special. We enjoyed sitting on the deck with a book, watching birds flying above the lake. ”
