About this cottage rental
Peacefully tucked away amongst the trees, fabulous views out over the glistening water and two garden paths down to the river and lake's edge. This central plateau holiday home is a hidden treasure that's a must-see - Welcome to Puketapu!
Thoughtfully decorated and furnished with an eye for comfort, you can't help but feel welcomed and relaxed from the minute you arrive.
Spread across two levels, Puketapu offers ample space for everyone to come together in the upper open plan living, dining and kitchen space. Then at the end of the day when its time to wind-down, there is plenty of space for everyone to find a comfy place to rest their head.
The private, gated access to either the Kuratau River or the lake means you're perfectly set up for the best fly fishing spots - so be sure to pack the fishing rods. Spend your summer days wandering through the garden down to the water and exploring the nearby lakeside walking tracks.
When you need to get away, have a worry-free break and make this holiday one to remember - Puketapu ticks all the boxes!
As there is an unfenced access to the river and lake via the garden, adults should closely supervise young children while outside to ensure they are safe around water.

Incredible house to stay, clean and tidy.
8 / 10Excellent·Mar 2024
Loved the property, we had loads of space. View and surroundings ātaatua!
Details to contact the property manager were out of date which caused a bit of panic when checking out as the instructions re what to do were unclear. The property could have been a bit cleaner dust wise.
All in all loved the place and encourage the owners to keep it maintained and cleaned well.
