Cozy private studio nestled amongst the Rainforest. Café and amenities onsite.

The studio is gorgeous and the location is absolutely beautiful (just be prepared for the public to wander past the room during open hours).But note you must supply all of your toiletries- including soap for the shower and bring your own milk. As it's a long way out of town, it

Beautiful garden trails right outside the door.

This studio unit exceeded all our expectations. The drive to Pukeiti is an experience in itself, then the expansive, immaculate, gardens and facilities are magnificent. That there's a cafe on site, and you are able to stay in this beautiful garden overnight, is hard to fathom and an absolute privilege. Once everyone left for the day we had the whole place to ourselves, apart from the helpful and friendly cafe owner who manages the studio bookings, and his partner, who live onsite. There are multiple walks and viewpoints throughout Pukeiti Gardens, rainforest walks that take you beyond the garden tracks, activities to keep the tamariki entertained, and a lounge where you can use Ipads to learn more about Pukeiti and it's history. New Plymouth and the Taranaki Coast are only half an hour away, and it takes an hour to drive around to the Dawson Falls side of Taranaki Maunga. Though the plants on show are gorgeous any time of year but we do look forward to returning to Pukeiti when the rhododendrons are flowering. The vistas throughout the gardens will be absolutely stunning then.

What a beautiful spot to stay in Taranaki! The studio was clean and perfectly set up, with a comfy bed and a view to the gardens. The kitchenette had everything I needed, and the bathroom was clean and modern. The gardens are beautiful, and it’s lovely to be able to have them to yourself when everyone else has left! Definitely would stay again, thank you!
