My name is Tahiwaewae. As I originally came from New Zealand, Harvey has asked me to tell you where his new home is.

Harvey's Hideaway is built on a piece of land in a village called Pirongia, about 25 kilometres south of Hamilton.

The land is at the end of a cul-de-sac called Chestnut Lane, on the south-eastern side of the village.

The village has two cafes, a bakery, a supermarket, a pub, a petrol station, a school, a Rugby / Sports / Bowls club, a gun club and a golf course. There is also Pirongia Clydesdales for those interested in horses.
