Whangamomona Accommodation
Yours hosts at Whangamomona Accommodation are Pork and Ceri, we are farming sheep and beef in the Republic along with the bnbs in Whangamomona village. We have 4 children and 2 grandchildren. It was Porks idea to “give the Mrs a house in town and give her something to do off farm”. It’s all good as we love it. Getting the houses ready for guests is a favourite part of looking after them. We have been running for 5 years with the Butcher Shop finally ready for the 2017 season.
