About this property

Gillagan's on the Beach

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.

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.

Listen to the sound of the waves crashing, have breakfast on the deck and relax whilst overlooking the beautiful white sands, surf and dunes on your doorstep. Smell and feel the sea breeze and enjoy the uninterrupted and Extensive Sea views looking out to Motiti, Plate and Whale Islands.

A perfectly brilliant Beach House, with fantastic indoor-outdoor flow to expansive decking for entertainment. Offering everything you need to enjoy and relax whilst having the ultimate Kiwi Holiday on the beach.

Bedroom one has the Seaview with bedroom two adjacent and next to the bathroom. Bedroom three is located at the other end of the house adjacent to the kitchen.

Comfortable furnishings throughout with extra spacious living areas, including three couch settings, allowing space and retreat for larger families and groups.

The laundry and BBQ are located in the garage with another couch for the kids to hang out.

Large flat section - fantastic for outdoor fun and games in the sun!

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 located at 502 Pukehina Parade.

Basic but quality set-up would recommend if you love the beach, very close to fire station so alarm is loud when goes off but didn't bother us at all

The photos do not do it justice

It is a lovely property but the photos make it look a little less appealing than it really is. The bach has everything you would want and more. Feels very homely, relaxing and the views are to die for. Would definitely go back again.

Great Spot

A comfortable home right on the ocean beach and just a few doors down from a well stocked shop and cafe. Don’t be put off by the appearance of the cafe, the coffee was pretty good. The big kitchen, big table and two bathrooms made it easy for the extended family.

great Location for family group..

Wonderful beachfront location. Home comfortable, but We we’re a little disappointed that it hadn’t been aired or cleaned as well as it might on our arrival. Would also be useful to have some driving instructions for the house( (e.g. need to turn on gas for cooking and how to work dishwasher).

Simply gorgeous location

The property was in a gorgeous location. Stunning water views you could never tire of. Wonderful little dairy / takeaway along the road. Beds were nice and comfy. Unfortunately the inside of the property was in need of a freshen up with regards to cleanliness. It felt like it had been closed up all winter.
