Pikopiko Valley

Pikopiko Valley

Western Bay of Plenty

Pikopiko Valley is 10 minutes from Paengaroa and 40 minutes from Tauranga and in the Bay of Plenty.

The cabin is set in a bush-clad valley, close to a fresh spring water stream, and nestled within beautifully landscaped surroundings. Exquisitely styled, the cabin's interior is restful and calming - with every last detail considered.

You'll find large glass doors opening into a modern kitchen and bathroom, a comfortable queen-sized bed and a gas fire for keeping cosy. Head outdoors for a soak in the bath located on the deck and listen to the melodious tuis calling from the surrounding bush. A short bush walk takes you to Kaituna River and a lovely wee waterfall.

As night falls, gather around the fire pit and watch as the glow worms come to life, illuminating the grounds with a magical, glowing display that will leave you in awe.

There are many things to do in the surrounding region... but we think this is one place where you just won't want to leave.

    The nearest store for stocking up on food and supplies is a 6-minute drive to Paengaroa dairy or 15 minutes drive to the supermarket at Te Puke.

  • things to do

    Surrounded by native ferns, kanuka, mahoe, ponga and kahikatea trees - you will truly feel one with nature here.

    Wind down and relax near the campfire, soak in the outdoor bath or battle it out over a board game in the cabin. If you want to stretch your legs, Pikopiko Valley has a wonderful bush walk on the property that takes you to the Kaituna River and a small waterfall. As night falls, take a stroll through the grounds, where the glowworms light up the space, adding a touch of magic to the evening.

    Feel like getting out and about? Okere has plenty of fun activities such as white water rafting, ziplining, and the Okere Fall Walking Track (25 minutes drive).

    Take a trip to Mount Maunganui, and visit the nearby beaches - or go walking in the Papamoa Hills. For something a bit different, drive 20 minutes to Te Puke to visit the 'Black Stump Strawberry Farm' (with seasonal opening times).

    There are plenty more amazing bush walks to try, like Otanewainuku Walking Tracks and Roydon Downs Reserve in Paengaroa.

  • your hosts

    Your hosts at Pikopiko Valley are Luke, Melz, Tex, Elsie and their dog, Minnie.

    After moving from Australia four years ago, they settled into their piece of Kiwi paradise in the Bay of Plenty. Luke works as a Boiler Maker/Welder and Melz manages the farm and duties at home.

    Their love for the native bush and farmland has inspired them to share it with others by creating this incredible glamping retreat.

    During the spring months, there are copious amounts of pikopiko (native ferns) around the valley. It's truly stunning and is the inspiration for the name of the cabin.

    I don't want to say it, but it would be unfair not to—Pikopiko Valley has to be one of the best places in the country to relax and unwind at. It is a truly exquisite location. The Kaituna River runs down at the bottom of the site with its crystal-clear water, a little waterfall, and glow-worms at night. The little home is exceptionally appointed and kitted out. People often say it is the little things that make a place, and the hosts have done that in spades—from the spare pillows to the robes, eye masks, games, and marshmallows—everything you could possibly need and more. It was so beautiful and peaceful that we had no desire to use the internet or our mobile phones. The beautiful oasis the hosts have created here is such that they deserve the kudos and recognition for the lovely place that is Pikopiko Valley. We will definitely be returning soon.

    I had my small and intimate wedding ceremony here, and it was perfect. A micro, nature-aesthetic, simple, and intimate wedding that made our stay the most magical ever. 10/10.

    Pikopiko Valley is exactly as described on the website, such a lovely getaway for two with no reception - which I loved. Reconnecting with my partner without distractions, playing the games that were provided, and cooking on the BBQ with the fire was amazing. We will be back for sure!
