Lazy days beach front cottage

Walk through the front door to paradise

The space
Our beautiful home in Pukehina is a modern beachfront cottage.

Four bedrooms and 2 bathrooms will comfortably accommodate up to 7 guests.

The living, kitchen and all bedrooms have views of the ocean.

Delight in the stunning sunrises and sunsets from the large covered deck. If you're lucky your might spot orca, seals or even the odd penguin.

Stargazing at night is a must.

Pick up your fishing rod, surfboard and sandcastle buckets and use the property's private laneway to go and play on the beach.

At the end of the Parade, relax at Waihi harbour and estuary. Enjoy swimming, paddle boarding and other water activities. The Pukehina Surf Lifesaving Club marks the walk entrance to Dotterel Point - home to the threatened tuturiwhatu (New Zealand dotterel).

A convenience store is nearby and Pukehina’s popular Thai meal delivery service - Seaside Thai Pukehina, is available on the weekends and for events.

Other things to note
The cleaning fee includes linen - sheets, pillowcases, bedding, bath towels, beach towels, tea towels.

Beachfront paradise
Our family booked the accommodation for an extra special weekend…our daughter’s wedding at Old Forrest School. We were not disappointed when we turned up and saw the location and view. The house was clean and tidy and provided the perfect place to relax around a very busy but fabulous weekend. This was a weekend to remember and we hope to return soon for a weekend of sun, sea and relaxation. Pukehina will forever hold a place in our hearts.

Lovely stay!
The location is phenomenal - so lovely. There was a little confusion with check out as they arrive an hour before what was listed on Bookabach, but it was no major. Great stay.

Wonderful getaway spot
Even though the sun was hiding, we could enjoy the fabulous view from the comfy lounge. House is very functionally set up with everything you need and Nicola is an outstanding host. For bigger groups, this house offers some separation between the bedrooms and 2 bathrooms is awesome! Great location for a quiet get-away.

Awesome long weekend getaway
Stress free comfortable weekend away. Familt loved it. Little hiccup and we were offered a free night, generous and kind hosts. Booking was a bit of a nightmare but the host sorted it and we were able to enjoy their lovely house. The neighbors were nice to. Beach was lovely, would go back.

We had an awesome break from the hustle and bustle of city life. The house is well equipped and we had everything we needed to self cater for our 5 day stay. Nicola kept in contact when needed and was very helpful and friendly throughout. Highly recommended as the locality is approximately an hour drive to either Tauranga or Whakatane for day trip explorations. Keep it up Nicola and looking forward to meeting up again.

Clean and tidy house
Property was beautiful & clean and tidy. New kitchen and modern bathrooms. Beds were a bit hard and small. Otherwise beautiful property. We did think from the photos that the property was at sea level and that you could walk straight out the door onto the beach. But its up high and you have access via a driveway to the beach.

Relax and unwind on the beach
We had the most wonderful stay at this beautiful property. Situated right on the beach with a dairy and fish n chip shop across the road. We don’t want to leave so we stayed an extra few days.
