We LOVED our stay at Pukemiro Retreat. It's a working farm in motion daily. We loved the laid back, homey feel combined with the friendly hospitality of Rosanna and Evan. We stayed in the low key, functional twin bedroom on the house side, most stay upstairs on the retreat side. We really enjoyed the tour of the farm facility and to see what 30 years of effort has created. Views are awesome - perfect coffee sipping time outside watching the waves. Closer to New Plymouth than expected so did lunch at Manou's (Rosanna's recommendation) on the bay which was truly terrific. Shopping in New Plymouth good. Skip the nearby winery - it's not a winery anymore - unless you want to taste french non-alcoholic wines and coffee syrups. Watch for construction - the workers parked large equipment in front of the Pukemiro signage so it took us a bit to find the entrance - no fault of Pukemiro. The construction workers finally realized what they did and flagged us into the entrance.
