About this property
Cow Cottage - cycle tracks & wineries in beautiful rural spot. 15 min to Napier
Welcome to Cow Cottage. This is the bigger cottage of The Cow & Calf Cottages. Calf Cottage which sleeps 1 is also available to book.
Cow Cottage has a spacious open plan lounge with Smart TV and comfy couches. There is a fully fitted and well kitted out kitchen as well as a table for eating at. There are 2 separate bedrooms: the first with a double bed and the second with 1 single There is a bathroom with shower.
Cow Cottage has its own decking, so you can sit outside sipping your glass of local wine looking at the spectacular view opposite of the lake and hills. At night, there is minimal light pollution, and we sometimes see the Milky Way. There is an outside area for picnics/ dining which is shared with the other cottage. The Cow & Calf cottages are fully fenced and away from the main house. We are by Puketapu Road and we offer ample off-road parking.
We are situated right by the Puketapu Cycle track which is part of the Hawkes Bay Cycle Trails. So, if you're here to cycle, you can set off straight from your cottage. We have secure storage for bikes (please arrange your own insurance though).
We are also situated only 1 min drive to Shed 530 Bistro & Winery one of the many fantastic wineries in the region & the Puketapu Pub & dairy are within walking distance too. The river is 5 mins walk away, great to cool off in the summer.
Being just 15 minutes' drive from Napier, Napier airport and Hastings, you really can experience the best of both worlds: the busyness of the CBD and then just a short drive back to your cottage and rural calm.
Whether you're here to cycle the tracks, explore the wineries and local beaches, go Art Deco or simply relax, we are brilliantly positioned for you. We are a great resting spot if you are away on business too!

Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Nicky
We have lived in Puketapu for over 13 years and love it here. We enjoy spending time at home, trying to grow fruit and vegetables, going for bike rides and walks on the cycle/walking track by our house. We have 2 dogs, Cassie and Mabel, who love to bask in the sun, play in the river and eat any windfall fruit! You are welcome to come and see our dogs if you are a dog lover. Nicky's passion is Dragon Boating and Jasen is into scooters. We love being able to share our lovely place with visitors, so you can also enjoy rural Napier, without being far from town!
Why they chose this property
The weather is great, the scenery from our property is fantastic and we are so well positioned being near both Napier and Hastings. We are a hop, skip and a jump away from our local bistro/winery Shed 530, and the Puketapu Pub is just down the road... both a minute away in the car if that. The river is a few minutes' walk away, and we like to cool off in it during the summer. We love it here.
What makes this property unique
The Cow is a fantastic place to stop for a short or long break. As well as being a really great space inside, our position is what makes us special. We are directly opposite a lovely lake where you might see swans, ducks and myriad other birdlife. Sheep graze all round the lake which has a backdrop of beautiful hills and trees...the colours are stunning in the autumn. We often have kingfishers visit us too. We walk out onto the cycle/walking track from our house where you can cycle into Taradale and even Marine Parade in Napier and beyond.
AT night, there is hardly any light pollution and we sometimes see the Milky Way.
All this, and only 3 minutes' drive to Taradale, 15 minutes to Napier, Napier airport and Hastings.
