Glamping at Tuki Tuki Valley, Havelock North, provides a range of activities for people of all ages to enjoy.

Glamping at Tuki Tuki Valley, Havelock North, provides a range of activities for people of all ages to enjoy.

The Tuki Tuki Valley campsite is on a small boutique vineyard, within a short distance of the Tuki Tuki river and just a few minutes' drive from Havelock North, showcasing the best of what Hawke's Bay has to offer.

Suited to all types of people, from those who simply want to relax and get away from city life to the more adventurous sort, there is certainly no shortage of activities during the stay.

Two years ago owners Pete McIntosh and Nicola Pentelow decided to open up their home for the sole purpose of creating a retreat for visitors to enjoy.

In preparation, several hundred native trees were planted each year to "re-
vegetate this small corner of Hawke's Bay, and the bird life that has come back as a result of it has been remarkable."

"We offer the best of both worlds: comfort, privacy, a little bit of luxury and the experience of sleeping under canvas.

"It's ideal for those who like the idea of camping but without the hassle of pitching tents and blowing up airbeds, and there's no need to share your bathroom or kitchen with other campers. Plus we're pet-friendly, too. The genuine African safari tent is from Namibia, possibly the only safari tent located on a boutique vineyard," Ms Pentelow said.

Activities range from going for a wander around the vineyard and having a picnic amongst the vines, relaxing in a hammock with (or without) a book, practising campfire cooking, or simply playing on the many outdoor games provided.

Not far from the property, guests can explore the many wineries in the area, swim at the nearby ''Horseshoe bend'' swimming hole, have a go at trout fishing in the Tuki Tuki river, bring a bike and make the most of the Hawke's Bay trails and wine tours or relax on the many beaches on offer.

"We really enjoy seeing our guest's reactions to the place, even though they have seen the photos on the internet and have some idea of what to expect, many of them are still blown away by the space, facilities and environment when they arrive," Ms Pentelow said.
