We had a wonderful time at Pukeko House- restful and relaxing, as well as biking the Link trail to Anakiwa and Havelock. Also a paddle. What a lovely place! We will be keen to return.

-Marg and the Bigsby Family. January 2021

We had fantastic stay at Pukeko Cottage it had everything that we needed for a fabulous time. It was not far from jetties that we went fishing from, or a bay that we could go swimming and kayaking. Great sitting out on the deck watching weka family running round house or watching stingrays swimming when the tide came. Marlborough Sounds is a most beautiful piece of country and I hope that we can make another trip one day soon �

Arrived and have fire going. Love the house and it's location, it certainly takes on 'Pukeko Cottage' with the pukekos all around!

The house was amazing. Cleanest tidiest house we have rented for a long time. Lovely outlook, we even saw a flock of Spoonbills. Loved the little swing, old chicken coop down by the water. Should have taken the kayak out but was too busy w the kids. Thanks so much.

-The Blair Family, 28th March- 1st April 2013

Had a wonderful time away - such a lovely spot thank you!Thank you for a wonderful weekend- the house was charming!! Well planned and stocked- nice that all the little things like soap, bath mats and a cord to connect the MP3 player were supplied. This is not often the case when we rent houses- so lovely to see those touches. We all loved it and would love to return again

-Turnball and Doonan families, 8th- 10th December 2012

Pukeho Cottage was a wonderful place for our extended family and friends to spend time together. The Cottage-plus-sleepout meant there was space for everyone. Everything we needed was there, so we could cope easily with a big group across a wide age range. Lovely outlook across the trees and the bay, easy access to sea and tracks for swimming, boating and walking. Thank you for sharing your house, and thanks Kathie for all your help.

-Jane Dykes and family, 28 December- 7th January 2011

Just to say what a fantastic time we all had in the Grove, Pukeho Cottage was lovely and had such lovely views. But as is always when you are having fun time goes by too quickly.

-Marie Galder, 31st May- 2nd June 2008

We had a fantastic Christmas Holiday in a well appointed and very comfortable cottage. Pukeho Cottage is a fantastic place to spend a peaceful and comfortable holiday. I would certainly like to come back and stay again. The service from Kathie was also excellent and made renting this holiday home a breeze
