Amazing stay!!! Very clean and amazing communication from the hosts. My flight got delayed until late evening and they allowed me to stay at the property for as long as I needed to. Very cozy and the coffee machine and pods were a great touch.

Te Punga Getaway was exactly the relaxing escape my wife and I needed. The native bush setting was refreshing and peaceful, and the amenities were thoughtfully provided, making our stay incredibly comfortable. The hosts were warm, kind, and genuinely welcoming and the beach is 5mins away Overall, it was the perfect place to unwind. We highly recommend it.

Comfortable space with interesting nostalgic artefacts. A variety of teas, coffee and quality selfcare products. Plimmerton has great places to eat in or takeaway fishnchips to sit on the picturest foreshore. Plenty of walking oportunities.

Glad I stayed!

Was welcomed by Brian, the host. He showed me the suite and gave me my privacy. A short drive from Wellington, convenient to the Interislander Ferry. The accommodations are well arranged, clean and comfortable. Kitchen was stocked with all I needed. Beautiful neighborhood and native bush provided a very pleasant experience. Took a short walk on the Plimmerton Beach walkway in the morning - very refreshing! Recommend this property.
