We have just returned from an amazing three nights at Tuki. It was hands down the most relaxing weekend away we've ever had, even though we did a lot around the area. The spa bath was very welcome after we returned from a 50km bike ride on the Ballarat Rail Trail, the spring water at Tuki does wonders for overworked muscles. Robert and Jan were so helpful and friendly, it was an absolute pleasure to be so welcome on their farm. Spending time amongst the animals on a working farm was great, so good to look out the window and see horses and sheep just over the other side of the dam. Breakfast in the restaurant was delicious, and the coffees that went with it were fantastic. Next time we visit Tuki we will definitely spend more time on the property and really unwind. Plus get the chance to throw in a line and catch a trout for dinner.

We had a wonderful stay at Tuki. The hosts are very nice and helpful. The restaurant there is great as well. 2 days were not enough. We were there with our dog and she loved it as well.
