“Thanks for the use of Pukeko Cottage… it was perfect! We found it clean & tidy and it was very spacious, even with 10 people staying. It had absolutely everything we could need. Awesome place – thanks so much. We’ll definitely be back!”
“We had a fabulous time at Pukeko Haven. Tata Beach is a lovely relaxing spot, perfect for water sports and fishing – our most spectacular catch was an octopus with 1m long tentacles! Would recommend contacting Tasman District Council to obtain a fire permit, we did this and enjoyed camp fires on the beach most nights, toasting marshmallows while we fished from the shore. The house was well equipped and organised for a large family. We created some great memories and it was a wonderful place for our family Christmas.”
“We had another relaxing stay at Pukeko Haven, despite a run of bad weather. The bach is very comfortable and warm so being indoors so much didn’t bother us. It is close to the beach for walks and there’s plenty of space for two families. “
“Great break away – wonderful well thought out holiday accommodation”
“Lovely bach to stay in, so gorgeously decorated! Awesome painting in lounge and wicked colours for house, even the outside toilet is gorgeous! pretty good weather although rough sea at times (manged to sink the boat) but had many beaut days on the beach. Would love to stay again and recommend this house to all! Thank you!!”
“Loved, loved, loved it here!! Our girls loved the bunks, toys and books too. What an awesome house. Thanks so much. already planning another trip up. PS Loved the dishwasher”
“Once again a wonderful stay at your Bach. I love knowing that everything I need to feed husband, children and baby are there and that it is so clean, tidy and well positioned. Our fire making skills leave a lot to be desired but we managed to keep warm. The level of relaxation we reached there is priceless. “
“Brilliant weekend, great bach. Kids, grandparents and mum & dad loved it. Media detox a touch of genius.”
“Thanks for everything. We loved it and hope to come back! Kayaking to the island and snorkeling were great.”
“Thanks for providing such a fantastic Holiday House! Very clean, modern and comfortable. The fly/bug screens on the windows were invaluable as were the kayaks, books etc provided. Very handy to beach…yet sheltered enough (being one street back) from strong on-shore winds. We shall be back!”
“We have been having an annual holiday at Tata Beach with our family for about 5 years. It is the first time we have stayed at the Pukeko Haven but it has been the best bach by far that we have stayed in. It made our holiday the best year that weve had so far at Tata. There were so many great things about this bach: -it was very homely, spacious, great having 4 bedrooms, with comfy beds -was great having a dishwasher -lots of comfy seats & couches, including a lazyboy which my husband really enjoying relaxing in - NO TV which was great, meant we all sat round and realy enjoyed each others company -lots of really interesting books in the bookcase -our 3 young grandchildren came for a visit & it even catered for them with a big box of toys & a box of kids books -The best thing was the 4 kayaks. Our kids had such a blast with them. We kayaked all round the bays and over to the Islands. Such fun & to top it off the boys had kayak wars with them where they stood up in them in the water and tried to knock each other off, they spent ages doing this
Such an awesome holiday and an awesome Bach!! Thankyou for letting us stay there…we look forward to satying there again in the future -”
“Great place to stay, especially off season. We took our own sea kayaks and exploring the sea caves and paddling round the islands was a highlight. Back at the beach our 4 yr old was thrilled to bits to be able to paddle one of your kayaks all on his own! A really well designed holiday house with lots of living space and great to have the wood-burner with wood provided. Thanks again. “
“Such a wonderful and comfortable place to stay. We had the best weekend and can’t wait to go back again. The whole family had a great time.”
“What a great spot! Thanks so much, a beauiful holiday home with everything you need – clean & tidy! We’d love to stay again!”
“We loved our stay at the Pukeko bach & would highly recommend. An idyllic location incl beautiful beach with golden sand. Family friendly & super safe for our 2 young pre school kids. “
“Thanks for the great break away at Pukeko Haven. A lovely cosy bach with a great deck outside to relax on. The weather was perfect and the use of your kayaks was an added plus. Would definately stay again.”
“We had a fantastic holiday with great friends. The bach is really well equipped, lots of space, lovely wood burner, great deck & parking for the boat. This was our first time to Tata beach & definitely won’t be the last. Will be staying here again!”
“This is a great house, 4 pleasant bedrooms and a lovely modern living dining area. Great layout for entertaining, brilliant indoor outdoor flow, big decks. Enjoy!!”
“Beautiful spacious clean and well equipped, such a lovely place to stay. As for the beach… from the mouth of my 12 year old son “This is the most beautiful beach I have ever seen”. Terrific hosts everything went smoothly even though it was quite short notice when I booked. Would absolutely stay again, next time for longer.”
