About this property

The Estuary Side of Life

Escape to your estuary hide away, located in the paradise of Pukehina.
Sand, surf & sun, you will feel right at home with 2 bedrooms, estuary views and a two-minute walk to the beach.
Nestled at the back of our property, is the hidden rustic gem, getting those perfect quiet sunset evenings, while the fireplace warms you up for the winter evenings.

The space
Two bedrooms with queen beds, your guest house is located at the back of our property, this has a comfy lounge area that looks out to the estuary, with the basics of a small bar fridge, jug, toaster and main cooking on the outside bbq or use of some appliances such as an air fryer and electric frypan. Your own private deck area to enjoy your meals. Bathroom and shower along with an outdoor shower also if you get back from a dip in the ocean.

With a short walk across the road to the beach or wade out through the estuary, plenty of water to cool down in the summer months or snuggle up in-front of the fireplace in the cooler months.

Please note this is not a kitchen, basics only, washing dishes in camp style bucket if required. Please keep this in mind when preparing your meal options, alternatively there is Fish and Chips at the Dairy as you drive into Pukehina.

A great spot
Really cool place. Fantastic location for both the estuary and the beach. Accommodation was lovely with comfortable beds and well equipped living spaces and kitchen area. A cosy fireplace kept us nice and warm. The hosts were really welcoming and helpful. A great place to stay. We will definitely be back!
