About this property

Country experience not far from town

Accommodation is located in a summer fruit orchard, surrounded by fruit trees and with an elevated view to the Tuki Tuki River and Te Mata Peak.

The 40m2 two bedroom flat enjoys all day sun, with the lounge opening to a deck and outdoor area. One of the things to look forward is to relax in the outdoor bath and sauna.

Perfect choice if you enjoy the country lifestyle, outdoor activities, knowing that coffee shops, restaurants, wineries and shops are only a short drive away.

Although the flat is positioned next to one of the houses, grounds are separated to ensure privacy and a relaxed atmosphere.
The Tuki Tuki river flows alongside the property and can be accessed by a 5min walk providing opportunities for swimming, kayaking, trout fishing, white baiting and duck shooting. Walking shoes or boots are recommended as the grass and fennel plants are sometimes long.

Autumn Stay

Our family of three loved our stay in Tuki Tuki. The rural location is quiet and peaceful and the autumn colours were stunning. The bikes were a nice touch and we took advantage with a couple of rides on the bike track by the river. Overall, great stay, would stay again!

Feel of a simpler time

With its simple decoration and layout and in the middle of a working orchard this cottage reminded me of baches of yesteryear. But it still had all you'd want for a comfortable stay and was very sensibly priced. We were very happy with our stay.

Perfect spot for the weekend

Perfect place for our weekend up for Hawkes Bay half marathon. Good and close to the finish, with the sauna and outdoor bath being icing on the cake after a long run. Great communication and directions meant arriving in the dark was not a bother. Thanks!

A perfect spot for peace and quiet

We had a family reunion happening across the road and stayed here for peace and quiet. We loved being in the middle of an orchard, the lovely views and most importantly the well equipped cottage that had been developed with great consideration for the person or people staying. We would highly recommend it.
