A Little Piece of Paradise
We loved our 8-night stay at Kuku Cottage--it was a charming, surprisingly commodious, and very well provisioned home made all the more welcoming by the many personal touches, such as a wide-ranging collection of books for the perusal and reading pleasure of cottage guests. The home has an indefinable welcoming "feel" and the layout of the house with three bedrooms opening onto the common area comprising an open-plan kitchen/dining/living room, together with an additional bedroom and bathroom in a separate attached room off the back porch, made for an excellent gathering spot for our reunion of 6 friends from the US, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand who were getting together for the first time in 4 years to celebrate a "milestone" birthday for one of us. With huge thanks to Rob and Fiona for making Kuku Cottage such a comfortable and welcoming retreat for those wishing to stay in the Hawkes Bay area.

Kuku Lodge
We stayed in early March. Weather was great and Kuku Lodge was a perfect place to explore Napier and Hawk’s Bay Area. Close to many vineyards, steps from the water and short drive to Hastings and Napier. Kuku Lodge provided all we needed to enjoy our stay and a lovely location to unwind after a busy day. Highly recommend this accommodation.

We Love Kuku Cottage!
One of the neatest and well equipped accommodation places we have stayed at. Very neat, yet very homely and welcoming. Hosts even placed bread and milk there for our use and were very responsive and friendly. Kitchen facilities are excellent and we really enjoyed a bbq in the shaded garden courtyard. We'll be back!
