About this property

Beachfront Pad - relax and unwind

Pukehina Beach is one of the classic kiwi beaches - you unpack, walk the beach, have BBQ'S and enjoy making memories with your loved ones.

Great for families, this beach house offers a great indoor-outdoor flow to expansive decking for entertainment. A property designed entirely to capture the spectacular ocean views, with bi-fold windows and doors that open the entire living and kitchen areas up to the beachfront.

Wake up to the sound of the waves, breakfast on the deck and relax while overlooking the beautiful surf and dunes on your doorstep. Smell and feel the salty breeze and enjoy the uninterrupted sea views looking out to Motiti, Plate and White Island.

The spacious open plan living area, with native timber flooring, and granite kitchen offers comfortable living and an inviting social space for those long relaxing days at the beach.
Three bedrooms inside the main dwelling– the spacious sleepout offers another room- great for the teenagers to hangout!

The bedding configuration consists of Two queen beds, One double bed, and five single beds.

Pukehina Beach is the place to come and relax, or a great base to do some exploring around the local region. Located 30 minutes from Mount Maunganui, 45km from Tauranga or a 2-hour drive from Hamilton not far to travel for a weekend getaway. We are also not far from the Old Forest School, and the local Estuary Events wedding venues.

Please bring your own beach towels - all other linen is provided.
Bring your own food and toiletries - basic washing and kitchen items supplied.

The local dairy has some supplies with great fish n chips if you feel like taking a night off from cooking. The new and popular "Monty's" Cafe in Pukehina is a must do during your stay. We suggest a trip to one of the big supermarkets for your supplies before you arrive.

Pukehina Beach is one of the classic kiwi beaches - you unpack, walk the beach, have BBQ'S and enjoy making memories with your loved ones.

Beautiful spot
Thank you so much for the stay! Location and house layout was so awesome! We ran into some issues unforuntley. There must have been an earwig nest by the outhouse door as we went to go to sleep and the room was just infested by them. We had to unforuntley bring the bedding into the lounge each night for x3 of us to sleep. Such a shame we were a room down because we enjoyed our stay so much apart from that. Thanks again.

Pukehina stay
Excellent location and enjoyable holiday. Need a new toaster though (only one side working)and a better range of serving bowls would be good too. Also, as there is a linen charge of $50 per person, I think better quality sheets I.e. cotton and not nylon would have been more appropriate

Stunning location
Great decks that allows you to follow then sun and avoid the wind. Needs a door to block off the lounge area to prevent young children waking others early. A check of potential problems by the manager would have helped our stay be more enjoyable

Come Enjoy the View from the Deck as You Drink Your Morning Coffee
It is just a pleasure being able to look out onto the beach and enjoy the view and the deck was fantastic, for morning coffee in the sunshine. We found the kitchen to be well stocked and the house clean and tidy. It would be good to have more heating in the house for chilly mornings and cool evenings as there is only one heater in the house and one in sleepout. Thank you Jody....you were awesome to deal with

An ideal spot for enjoying the beach
This property was perfect for our two night beach experience as a family with 4 young children. Easy access to beach, large backyard space with sheltered deck. The kitchen was a bit light on utensils, and Wifi would have been very welcome given our cell coverage was poor. But otherwise we loved our stay. Jody was great to deal with.

Absolute beachfront !
Location is fantastic! Enjoyed the beautiful sunrises from the deck. Comfortable beds and a large shared living space. Kitchen is great but he cleaners need to be more thorough. There were fat splashes all up the wall behind the stove. Third bedroom a bit musty but a good size. Sleep-out great for the kids and teenagers. Lightbulb in the toilet didn't go, so had to swap with one from elsewhere. Only those little things which spoiled the overall experience of the property. Would still recommend as size, layout and location is fantastic!

Beautiful location right on beachfront. 2 adults, 4 kids and family dog. Had a great time playing in the waves, collecting tuatua and surf casting. Bach a bit tired but sea views more than make up for it. Love this beach!

Great family getaway
The house had everything we needed for a short family holiday, and the kids loved being right next to the beach. The beach was quiet, we had it to ourselves practically. The surf was a bit rough, so our little ones needed adult supervision but the water was perfect. There is plenty of grass to kick a ball around out the back, and plenty of room for meals both inside and outside for our group. We did wonder how we'd cope with one bathroom and 10 people, but with the outdoor shower it wasn't a problem. Having a washing machine was a bonus.
