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.

Unfortunately, we arrived and left on a wet day. Had to carry bags down the path with vegetation a bit overgrown. Was nice to have a breakfast tray provided with bread etc. Hosts were lovely.
Wonderful place to stay.Very quiet and excellent hosts who supplied us with fresh eggs and honey.Only about 1km from Levin so very handy for shopping.One of the best places where have stayed at.

Lovely area and spacious comfy place with everything you could need. Would definitely stay again and highly recommend.
It was spot on for our needs, clean, comfortable and quiet. Host's were extremely helpful and accommodating during our stay....will be returning when the need arises.....top notch.
An amazing little place to get away on your own or with someone. Has everything you need and a beautiful outlook.Everything is responsibly close if you do need anything.
I loved staying here. It was the perfect peaceful getaway for a weekend of relaxing on my own. The honey is beautiful and I slept better than I have in months. I can't wait to go back!
I loved staying at Puka. I was there for a personal art retreat and it was the perfect place. Fresh eggs and veges and homemade honey were a bonus! And the garden rural setting was inspiring. Really recommend it.
