Another lovely weekend away

We loved returning to Pukeko Cottage. We were last here 5 years ago. It is such a comfortable place to stay, in a beautiful bush setting. The trees had grown a lot and we enjoyed exploring various places on the Kapiti Coast.

Lovely getaway from Wellington

Peaceful outlook and well appointed wee cabin. Perfect for a weekend getaway away from Wellington and closer to nature. Secluded but close to Otaki if you need to pop out. Easy check in and hosts were nearby but allowed me privacy which was perfect. Highly recommend.

Can't wait to visit again

Gorgeous rural setting, right next to a stunning wetland. Cosy, comfortable cottage with absolutely everything I needed for a self-sufficient getaway. It was very handy to the shops too, so I got the best of all worlds. Very keen to stay in this bookabach again.
