We are Mario and Loes. We live at Nova Alofa with our dog Marley and our cat Tijger (Dutch for Tiger)-. The name Nova Alofa is derived from Nuku’ Alofa, the capital of Tonga, an island in the South Pacific. Since we saw this farm for the first time in 2015, this is our nova alofa (new love). Nova Alofa is a small holiday resort with a 2 person house, 2 person caravan in a seperate area, and our own house. Together we make use of the swimming pool, the deck by the river, the outside kitchen with barbecue and wood oven, the garden and the infinite starry sky. Looking for the most beautiful beach, or a nice walk? We are happy to help you on your way. Loes speaks Dutch and English and a bit of everything. Mario speaks besides Dutch, English, French and Spanish, also fluent Portuguese and is happy to translate for you should the need arise. You will receive info about the Wi-Fi network and the password on arrival. Wifi is free and we have enough Mb´s to internet but Netflixing, gaming, YouTubiing, streaming etc. is not allowed.
