Our Properties
Pukaki Downs
To further our charitable purposes and mission, The Pukaki Trust, via Pukaki Tourism Holdings Limited Partnership, owns a 3,700 hectare South Island high-country station, Pukaki Downs. Located on Mt Cook Highway, it sits on the shores of Lake Pukaki where we plan to have a first class yoga retreat facility.
Our vision for Pukaki Downs is to:
• Restore and enhance Pukaki Downs to be a place of serenity, beauty, and inspiration
• Share with New Zealanders and people from all over the world the opportunity to retreat, relax and reenergize
• Develop Pukaki Downs in a sustainable and environmentally friendly way
To achieve our vision, Pukaki Downs is being used and developed to:
• Offer meditation and yoga classes and retreats
• Preserve and enhance the land, working with it sustainably
• Undertake responsible eco wellness tourism
• Present opportunities for fulfilling memorable experiences
• Provide a caring and rewarding work environment
Our core values and guiding principles as we fulfill our mission and strive towards our vision are:
• Kaitiaki: take care of the land, act responsibly, care for others
• Service: have a serving attitude, be friendly and welcoming to all
• Cooperation: work cooperatively, respecting each other, the community, and the environment
Our activities – organic lavender farming, forestry and visitor accommodation – help us to achieve this mission as well as supporting the education activities of the Trust.
