Its Christmas Time at Kia Ora!!
Every year Kia Ora becomes a magical winter wonderland with thousands of christmas lights and is visited by the red hatted man himself, Santa Claus and his reindeer. The smell of mulled wine and christmas cake radiates around the farm and the farm is decorated with thousands of twinkling lights.
We have a live stable of Bethlehem and also an illuminated crib. Santa gives a very generous gift to each child who comes to visit him during his stay while the adults warm up with complimentary tea/coffee/mulled wine and cake in our cosy coffee shop.
Christmas is a time of peace and joy and best spent with loved ones, where better to get back to nature and enjoy the simple pleasures in life than at Kia Ora Minifarm . Our aviary has a fantastic selection of birds and is indoors so no matter what the weather is like you can come and have fun and see all the cute little animals in the barn such as rabbits, hamsters, guinea pigs, mice and rats!!
We also have a really cool tractor area where the yonger children can trundle about and even do a bit of digging in our special digging pit! For the slightly older kids we have a special racing track with rough riders and it is all enclosed so they can race without fear of bumping into anyone 'littleones'.
