The home was nicely updated, and clean. The lovely couple who live on the property were very helpful and had left fresh tomatoes from their garden for us upon our arrival. Would stay here again.

wonderful stay AGAIN

We were happy to come back to stay here again. it was again a lovely experience. Such a peaceful and gorgeous place. Thank you for the feijoas and mandarins :) The kids are already missing Zeus. Sorry we didn't say goodbye on Sunday, but I didn't want to bother you on Mother's Day by knocking on the door and interrupting.

Our Home away from home in Tauranga

We travel to Tauranga regularly and this is the only place we would stay. We love the peace and quiet of being in the country and yet still being handy to all of the amenities of Tauranga. The host are very welcoming and go out of their way to make your stay enjoyable. We travel with our small dog and she also enjoys her time in the country.

Best bach we've stayed at in a long time

We were really impressed with this bach. Lovely place and area, and the hosts really went the extra mile. We had fresh eggs, butter and milk (among other things) which was a really thoughtful touch that you just don't normally get. The bach itself was very tidy and all in all we really enjoyed our two nights here. Thanks to the hosts for putting in such a great effort; can't give anything less than full marks for this one!

Fantastic Stay

We are well traveled Kiwis, and we previously owned an B&B ourselves. We booked the stay because we visited family who lives in the area. That said, Gary and Rita catered for all our needs. The spacious house had everything we needed, for young and old. We loved the peacefulness and the park like surroundings. We could cook a family meal in the fully equipped kitchen and enjoy family time together at the amazing waterfall nearby. Gary sent us off with a bag of figs from the garden. We will definitely book at the Pukeko Inn again. Kindly. Frederick and Annemarie

Property and surroundings beautiful. When we saw the size of Tauranga, first timers, we were worried we would have difficulty finding this gem. It was so simple and easy. And wonderful companion for Merlin in Zeus and the parents of Zeus were great too.

Short stay for sports competitions

This house provided space and everything we needed. It was very enjoyable and beautifully maintained. There was also an outdoor decking area, so although it was raining we didn't have to be inside all the time. :). I was very happy in choosing this place and the beds were great esp the king singles.
