I cannot say thank you enough to the Fuller whanau who shared with us their beautiful home when we relocated to the Hawkes Bay. From the moment we first arrived we felt welcomed by such warm, friendly and helpful hosts who went the extra mile to make sure we had everything we might need for a comfortable and enjoyable extended stay.
We really felt at home in the large natural light filled guest suite which was immaculately clean, warm and beautifully furnished with thoughtful touches throughout such as a selection of leaf teas, books, board games and DVDs. The suite adjoins the hosts house, but the landing and two doors allow for quiet and guest privacy. Should you feel like socialising with the hosts it is easy to open the doors and walk through to the central kitchen which feels like the heart of the home filled with lots of laughter and love.
Brent and Philippa's slice of rural paradise in Puketapu is the perfect place to relax and wind down. Much time was spent outside on the deck with a hot drink and good book in hand. With two to choose from, they are both placed perfectly to take in the surrounds and feel any stresses of the day melt away.
Puketapu itself feels a world away from any congestion, but is only a pleasant 10-15min drive from Napier. It is a great location to base yourself to experience and enjoy all that the Hawkes Bay has to offer.
Philippa and Brent really are the most wonderful hosts and their experience is reflected in their welcoming, accommodating and friendly manner. We couldn't recommend staying here enough!
