About this property
Quiet, relaxing cottage in a rural setting
Puka is located in a rural setting, conveniently located for those people wishing to travel to both Palmerston North and Wellington.
Puka has been tastefully decorated, sourcing decor, from Spain, Mediterranean, Italy and Bali to create a unique atmosphere. Quality cotton sheets on a queen size bed and a deep claw foot bath allow for maximum comfort and relaxation. The accommodation allows you to have a wine on the deck in privacy watching the sun go down. This might be at the end of a hard day tramping in the Tararuas or fishing off Waitarere beach or mountain biking on near by trails. Kitchen facilities (microwave, electric frypan, induction element, grill oven with all cooking equipment required) is available for those who wish to self cater or a range of restaurants are also available with 2 minutes drive. Puka is set in beautiful gardens and your hosts Ann and David will ensure that you have the best experience possible, providing home grown organic honey, berries (when in season). Unlike some accommodation in Levin, the quiet rural garden setting ensures a private, relaxing stay at the same price as you would pay in a motel.
While Puka is ideally suited to a couple; we are able to provide a single mattress at $20 for an extra person.
So come and enjoy a comfortable, relaxing stay in a rural environment that will allow guests to experience a slice of real New Zealand life.
Special conditions:
Pets allowed with prior approval
Smoking allowed outside only
Extras: Cleaning (included); Linen (included);
