Everything was perfect. The setting, of course, was beautiful. The bach had everything we needed for the week, and the host provided excellent directions to get there and was responsive when we had questions
We love returning to beautiful Pukehina and especially to this wonderful batch who has everything we need and the most amazing view and access to the beach.
Stunning location. Stunning accommodation. Super friendly hosts. Really awesome family orientated place to stay. Everything you could ever need and more is provided. Comforts inside and out, games, sports. All you need is your food and a few beers, Sorted! Thank you for a very memorable time. Garry and family.
I have to say that this was one of my best experiences with Vrbo. Our host was so transparent with prices, expectations and there were no surprise extra expenses. We got everything we expected. There were so many extra amenities like the kayak and surfboard that we had access to at no extra cost. The place was clean and appeared as in the photos and the price was great. Our guest welcomed us with a personal message and left us a welcome gift. Her communication from the booking until the day we left was almost instant for response time. Such an easy booking and positive experience.
Everything about our stay was great ,communication with hosts was so easy as was check in .
Great location and very cosy accommodation.
Highly recommended.

Great to know you enjoyed your stay. Thanks for choosing our place for your break away.
We loved our stay here, incredible beachfront location and an extremely well equipped bach that is really comfortable and clean. Great modern kitchen and bathroom too. Best bach we've stayed in. Awesome communication from the hosts as well. The beach is fantastic, even in winter. Thank you for allowing us to stay at your place and experience it!

Great to hear you enjoyed your time at our place. Thanks for choosing our place to stay.
Very much enjoyed our short stay (didn't want to leave) Weather was beautiful on the first day, then packed in on the second day, but that didn't detract from enjoying this bach. A very quick dip in the ocean then up to the hot outdoor bath was a treat, as was watching the sea from the comfort of the lazy boys. Very tidy, comfortable and warm. Thank you for having us.

Pleased to hear you enjoyed your stay. We hope you return!
Lovely little bach that is bigger on the inside! Great location with stunning views up and down the beach. Everything you need to relax and have a great time in this small east coast community. Close to both Tauranga and Whakatane if you need to shop...but then why would you, just sit back and enjoy the sunrise.

Fiona
This beautiful property was well set up for our family. After a long travel, everything at the house was easy to find and use, there was clear instructions.
Even though it rained while we were there, the outside area had blinds to close it off and still enjoy the beach. There was board games and a tv to keep the kids entertained

Fiona and Donal
Donal and Fiona live in Mount Maunganui, and have two daughters and a dog. We both work from home and enjoy escaping to our beachfront house when we can.
Why they chose this property
We love this place as it is close to our home which means we can escape here easily when we want a quiet break away. The house is sunny and the view from both within the house or on the deck is stunning. We can enjoy the beach, go for walks, fish or just do nothing.
What makes this property unique
A lovely sunny house where you can sit back and relax. There is a double kayak so you can go fishing out on the water. The kitchen is well equipped with breadmaker, baking utensils and equipment so if you feel inspired to bake bread or cook up a yummy treat for morning tea you can. Pukehina is the place to go if you want to rest and relax away the time.
