Whānau spend their Waitangi Day at ZaberriWorld

Riria Morehu Reporter from Western Leader

Despite the rain and the gloomy weather, it did not stop whānau from celebrating Waitangi Day this year at ZaberriWorld.

Located in Riverhead ZaberriWorld is a berry farm where visitors can pick their own strawberries, raspberries and blackberries.

ZaberriWorld also offers a variety of fun outdoor activities including an adventure inflatable, trampolines, a free train ride and ice cream.

Boman Zakeri, ZaberriWorld owner, was 15 when he started working in the industry. Even as a young man, he had a vision to own his very own berry farm one day.

Zakeri said: “Waitangi is an important event we should never forget our history. It is important for our younger generation to learn more about it.”

While many Waitangi Day events were cancelled, whānau and friends who came to ZaberriWorld had the chance to see farm animals from Little Bo Peep’s Mobile Home up close.

Jessica Fernandez, who went with her mum and dad, said: “It was a really good family experience.”

Samantha Carruthers, manager of ZaberriWorld, said: “It was great to see so many happy kids who had gumboots on and rain jackets. Even with a bit of drizzle, it was good to see people get out trying to enjoy there weekend.”
