About this property

Lofty Heights on Pukehina

A lovely Beach House set high on the dunes above the beach, with great indoor outdoor flow. Expansive decking to the rear highlights the views across farmland to the Papamoa Hills and the Kaimais. A gorgeous beach Bach offering everything you need to enjoy and relax whilst having the ultimate Kiwi Holiday at the beach.

Wake up to the sound of the waves, breakfast on the deck and relax whilst overlooking the beautiful ocean, surf and dunes on your doorstep. Smell and feel the sea breeze and enjoy the uninterrupted and Extensive sea views looking down the beach and out to Motiti, Plate, White and Whale Islands.

Gorgeous High pitched ceilings create a lovely feeling of warmth and ambience throughout the cosy living area, creating a inviting social space for those long relaxing days. A wooden ladder ascends from the living area to a mezzanine bedroom, with a queen and a couple of single mattresses - suitable for the agile.

Two generously sized bedrooms – a Master bedroom with sliding door to deck and stunning views, and the second bedroom with another queen bed after off the hall leading from the living space to the bathroom and separate toilet.

Holiday at Lofty Heights

My Kids and I had the best stay at Lofty's for 5 days over the new year. It was a great typical Kiwi batch with all the basics needed to have a great break away. Board Games, books, amazing front and back decks to chill out on, and the beach was absolutely beautiful great swimming. Thankyou Beach Rentals for making my first book a batch nice and easy. We will definitely be back 😊

Pukehina getaway

We had never stayed in a bach on the beach before, it was everything we hoped for. Clean, tidy, amazing views! We saw dolphins as the sun rose. The worst thing was leaving and going home! Thankyou Beach Rentals.

Our Last Stay at Pukehina

This property was great, had the feel of the old style bach and the location overlooking the sea was lovely. However although this was about the best price we could find in Pukehina, this is nearly three times what we paid 10years ago. Pukehina is no longer the affordable beach holiday it used to be. Most of the houses are residential now and the holiday feel has left the place. The pub is closed, and although someone is trying to make it work it is hard with the new demographic staying there. The beach is inaccessible from many beachside properties and is completely gone at high tide. A lot of the infrastucture such as the paths, tennis courts and bike track are just a bit run down. Finally, someone broke into my car during the night, although there has always been some element of this in Pukehina. For us the appeal has been lost and after 20years we are going somewhere else for our January holiday.

Stay at Pukehina Beach

Lovely place on the beach, kids absolutely loved it. Quiet, and woke up to beautiful views every morning. Everything we needed readily available☺️ Warm and comfortable. Local fish n chips were the bomb! Not to far from Tauranga or the Mt. Would absolutely go back again.
