Manu was an exceptional host who greeted us with amazing warmth and had even baked us a delicious pastry. We greatly enjoyed our time spent chatting with her. The place is beautifully styled and comes with everything you need for a restful, comfortable stay. The room is listed as a private room but it is really like having your own quarters, with your own personal bathroom. Breakfast goods for the morning were plentiful, and we also enjoyed a lovely chat with Damien while we prepared our breakfast. We definitely recommend staying at Pukeko Place for anyone visiting Picton!!
