Escape to Your Perfect Pohara Beach Retreat
Welcome to our beautiful beach house, just 400 metres from the golden sands of Pohara Beach. Sleeping up to 6 guests, this relaxing three-bedroom home is the perfect base for families, couples, or friends looking to unwind in one of Golden Bay's most stunning locations.
Surrounded by impressive natural limestone rock formations, the property offers a peaceful, private setting with plenty of outdoor space to enjoy. Start your mornings with coffee on the sun-soaked deck, curl up in the hanging chair with a good book, or fire up the Weber BBQ or outdoor fire place for an evening feast.
Our home has been thoughtfully decorated with a coastal feel throughout, featuring a bespoke redwood bench top and island, handcrafted driftwood lighting and unique driftwood kitchen handles that capture the relaxed charm of beach living.
Enjoy everything you need for a comfortable stay, including:
Three bedrooms sleeping up to 6 guests Unlimited Wi-Fi and Sky TV Continuous gas hot water Weber BBQ and outdoor fire place Boogie board for fun at the beach Camping chairs for beach days or sunset picnics An abundant vegetable garden and fruit trees (help yourself to what's in season!)
With 2 restaurants, a superette, takeaway shop, a tennis court, and swimming beaches all within walking distance.
Whether you're spending your days swimming, kayaking, exploring Golden Bay, or simply relaxing on the deck surrounded by nature, our beach retreat is the perfect place to slow down and make lasting memories.
We look forward to welcoming you to our little slice of paradise in Pohara.
