Available Now for your short summer break!

Breathe in the ocean air and unwind in this unique, character-filled beachfront retreat — Lofty Heights. Perched just steps from the sand, this coastal haven offers direct beach access, sweeping views, and the relaxed comfort of a classic New Zealand bach.

Due to recent storms some beachfront properties beach access has become very unsafe, and we ask that they are not used! Please us the public beach access two houses along.

🛏️ Sleeping Arrangements:

The master bedroom opens directly onto the deck with stunning ocean views – ideal for slow mornings and sunset evenings.

The second bedroom, located just off the main hallway, includes a cozy queen bed and natural light through garden-facing windows.

Up a rustic wooden ladder, the mezzanine loft is a perfect spot for reading or relaxing.

🍳 Fully Equipped Kitchen:
Everything you need is on hand — a full-sized fridge/freezer, oven, cooktop, microwave, toaster, and more, with easy access to the outdoors for al fresco dining.

🔥 Relax & Unwind:
The open-plan living area features high vaulted ceilings with exposed beams, a wood-burning fireplace for cozy evenings, board games, and uninterrupted views of the waves rolling in. Slide open the doors to let the sea breeze flow through or step onto the deck to enjoy a meal at the large outdoor dining setting under the umbrella.

🌿 Outdoor Living:
Spacious decking, grassy lawn, and beachfront access make this home ideal for family BBQs, beach games, or just sitting back with a wine and a good book.

🚿 Bathroom Layout:
A central bathroom with a separate toilet provides convenience for groups and families.

Administration and Marketing Manager

I discovered Pukehina over 5 years ago and fell in love with the place. We came with the agent to see a 5 hectare block of land and never looked back! I have had experience in various different industries over the years, and am proficient at keeping many balls in the air at once.

My role will be to keep the well-oiled machine working seamlessly by providing top quality administration support and office management. These skills combined with my passion for our piece of paradise will ensure that everything is completed efficiently and with a smile.

What makes this property unique

Short walk to local cafe and the beautiful Pukehina Beach!
