For many years, The Black Barn served as the heart of the local community, functioning as a local car museum, post centre, and the regular meeting point where locals gathered, connected, and celebrated together in the tranquil countryside of Puketitiri, Hawke’s Bay. This area offers a wealth of outdoor adventures right on your doorstep, including trout fishing in the pristine rivers, hunting for sika and red deer in the Kaweka Forest Park, hiking on scenic tracks(5 minutes to Balls Clearing, 30 minutes to Te Puia Track), and a relaxing soak at the Mangatutu Hot Pools (approximately 20 minutes away). Whether you enjoy golf, fishing, tramping, or simply soaking in nature, Puketitiri is a true paradise for outdoor enthusiasts.
Today, set on 0.44 hectares with stunning views of the Kaweka Ranges and just 2 minutes away from the 9-hole Puketitiri Golf Club, we continue that warm spirit of community as a luxury accommodation provider.
The main house, The iconic Black Barn, The Garden Cottage, and three high-end Tiny Houses create flexible, private spaces designed for slow living, warm gatherings, and true relaxation.
We welcome guests for peaceful getaways as well as private events and intimate functions, including small weddings, family reunions, milestone celebrations, and relaxed retreats.
