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.

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.

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!

A beautiful relaxing stay

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.

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.
