About this property
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.
📍 What You'll Love:
Absolute beachfront location
Expansive deck with panoramic views of farmland and ocean
Cosy, classic design with exposed wood beams and plenty of character
Mezzanine loft sleeping nook – a fun spot for adventurous guests
Perfect for families, couples, or small groups
Whether you're looking for a peaceful beach break or a base for exploring the coast, Lofty Heights invites you to slow down and soak it all in.

Please rinse sand off feet before entering the property.
Please bring your own beach towels - all other linen is provided.
Bring your own food and toiletries - basic washing and kitchen items supplied.
The local dairy is only a 2 minte walk away for easy access to essentials, ice creams, or fish & chips! And the popular "Monty's Cafe located on the main Rd is a must visit during your stay- located at 502 Pukehina Parade.
Centrally located, Pukehina Beach is just a 15 min drive to Te Puke (past the golf club), 40 mins to Mt Maunganui and Tauranga (via toll road), or 60 mins to Rotorua and 40 minutes Whakatane – all excellent roads. If you need to refuel the boat BP is just 5 mins away.
Great location for the two popular nearby wedding venues at The Old Forest school and Estuary events.

Having already established a successful career as the Senior Property Manager with Professionals Real Estate, I have proven my ability to effectively manage multiple properties. During this time I managed the largest portfolio of properties in the company and made regular appearances on the TV programme, “The Renters”.
As an organized, efficient professional with articulate business communication skills, I take pride in delivering quality service and conducting business with integrity. My natural and positive outlook supports my energetic approach to achieving objectives, which is complimented with the ability to quickly determine the needs of others.
I am highly passionate about what I do and am committed to professionally act on your behalf to create mutual benefit to you as the property owner and to guests, accurately matching homes to suitably screened guests.

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.
