Casa da Karina was built in 1932 as part of Muritai Homestead. Now it is my home, full of character and charm, perfect to welcome friends and family. My dog Lola is only acting as a model but won’t be here during your stay. Our Cat however, stays. In the so called "green circle" of Havelock North. It is a 7-10 minute stroll into the Village where all shops and restaurants are at walking distance: even Te Mata Peak. Wineries and beaches are a short drive away. You’ll enjoy Casa da Karina.
I am born and raised in Brazil, lived 16 years in Germany and now in NZ since 2016. Initially we set the lodge to to welcome our visiting family and friends from abroad. The place is decorated as part of our house, designed for the people we love the most. We have 5 kids (2 live at home), a lovely dog and a very friendly cat. I speak English, Portuguese, Spanish and German. Am a yoga teacher and can arrange for private classes. I am proud to be a super host on Airbnb for the last 9 years.
