Private about Private Bush Retreat at May 2017
What a wonderful place to spend our honeymoon! We wanted peace and tranquillity and we certainly got it. The setting is lovely, and the cabin very nicely laid out, furnished, and well-equipped. The bath is fantastic! The location is great, being private and rural but close enough to New Plymouth and Taranaki's other attractions to enjoy all that is on offer. We'd love to come back one day!

The Pouakai Bush Retreat is a perfect escape from the busyness of life. Comfortable, warm, well equipped and tastefully decorated. Loved the bath especially! Will definitely be back, it's a great place to unwind but so close to home.

A about Private Bush Retreat at Oct 2016
The cabin is beautiful and very private, it feels like you are in the middle of nowhere yet it is only a 15 minute drive to new Plymouth CBD, the bathroom is amazing with the fold out doors and sky light in the roof it really feels like you are outside. The bed is very comfy and there is enough facilities to cook a meal if you want to take your own food
