Everything was wonderful! Tina and Joe are the most welcoming hosts, not to mention hard-working orchard owners. Beautiful peaceful location, not too far from the Overland Safaris to the gannet colonies at Cape Kidnappers, and to Te Mata peak. A bit further to Hastings and Napier, but worth the drive. Great place for a relaxing stay or a stay full of activities. We’d definitely stay again if our travels were to bring us this way in the future.

Lovely setting, and very very comfortable. We didn't spend a lot of time at the place, but actually it would have been nice to have spent more time there. It was very relaxing and close to Cape Kidnappers (or main destination) and Havelock North too.

I spent a wonderful week here. The cottage is located on an orchard not far from Hastings and Napier. The kitchen was stocked with the items I most needed to make basic meals. The queen sized bed was firm and just what I needed after flying for a day before arrival, and after a drive down from Auckland. The addition of ergonomic pillows was a lovely surprise as I usually use these at home. Though the driveway is gravel, this wasn't an issue. The wifi worked well and the tv has the basic channels plus access to Netflix. Overall my stay was wonderful, and I would definitely recommend if you are looking for a spot that is close to almost everything while having the benefit of being 'off the beaten track'.

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!

I'm originally from Brazil, with German background and work as a teacher. My husband grew up on the property and currently runs this summer fruit orchard. We have two children aged 10 and enjoy spending time together or exploring the outdoors. We have traveled around and enjoy meeting people from different cultures and backgrounds. We want our guests to have a great experience when visiting Hawke's Bay. We preferably enjoy having couples and families staying since we like to maintain a peaceful and family environment.
