Who would get married in December?
We stayed at Pukehina Beach for our son's wedding at Pongakawa Old School House. We loved the place and the views were breath taking. Loved the 2 ceiling fans in bedrooms as they were very hot sunny days. Access and good instructions. We'll come back!

A slice of paradise
This beautiful property was well set up for our family. After a long travel, everything at the house was easy to find and use, there was clear instructions. Even though it rained while we were there, the outside area had blinds to close it off and still enjoy the beach. There was board games and a tv to keep the kids entertained

Relaxing Stay
Very much enjoyed our short stay (didn't want to leave) Weather was beautiful on the first day, then packed in on the second day, but that didn't detract from enjoying this bach. A very quick dip in the ocean then up to the hot outdoor bath was a treat, as was watching the sea from the comfort of the lazy boys. Very tidy, comfortable and warm. Thank you for having us.

Pukehina chill out
We love winters at Pukehina, no people, long walks on the beach. It's cold but great for stargazing. The outside bath is a winner and all you need to do is nothing. They have a mini poster on the the wall that says it all "Enjoying wasting time is not a waste of time".

A home with a view to remember
We were looking for a house to stay in that would be dog friendly in Pukehina. We were going there for my sister's wedding nearby. We stayed for there for 4 nights. This is a beautiful location, backyard has the most relaxing vibe and we were lucky to have such great weather to enjoy the amazing view. The inside also made you want to sit in the bay window or at the dining table and take in the scenery. Besides the view, the house just had a lovely homely feeling and the host had provided all the essentials and most of the things you would need for a stay at the beach. I can honestly say that this has to be in my top 10 for accommodation and we would definitely go back. And the hosts, they kept us well informed and made sure we were aware of anything that needed to be done and they were always quick to respond. We would highly recommend this property to anyone who would love to get away from the norm and who want to relax, this is what you are looking for. Thank you again.

We had 7 family members staying here (aged 18 to 52) from the Napier and Whakatane areas. We were attending a wedding nearby, at Old Forest School. A good weekend was had by all. Fiona was a good communicator, with prompt replies. Thank you for the use of your homely bach. :)

A great short break
We had such a great stay . The bach had everything you could need and an amazing location. We swam, walked, sun bathed, barbecued and generally just relaxed. A great way to end the school year before the Christmas madness. Was great to be able to take the dog as well. Thanks

About the host

Hosted by FionaBo3

Host profile image
Donal and Fiona live in Mount Maunganui, and have two daughters and a dog. We both work from home and enjoy escaping to our beachfront house when we can.

Why they chose this property

We love this place as it is close to our home which means we can escape here easily when we want a quiet break away. The house is sunny and the view from both within the house or on the deck is stunning. We can enjoy the beach, go for walks, fish or just do nothing.

What makes this property unique

A lovely sunny house where you can sit back and relax. There is a double kayak so you can go fishing out on the water. The kitchen is well equipped with breadmaker, baking utensils and equipment so if you feel inspired to bake bread or cook up a yummy treat for morning tea you can. Pukehina is the place to go if you want to rest and relax away the time.
