About this property
Pohara's Kotare Heights
Summary:
Perched above the coastline and surrounded by native birdsong, Kōtare Heights is a peaceful, spacious retreat designed for relaxed Golden Bay living. Spread across multiple levels, this beautifully presented five-bedroom home comfortably sleeps up to 10 guests (8 in bedrooms plus 2 on a pull-out sofa). With two bathrooms and generous living spaces, there’s room for families or groups to spread out while still coming together with ease. At the heart of the home is a large open-plan kitchen, dining and living area, perfect for shared meals and slow mornings. Slide open the doors to the sunny deck, where sweeping sea views across Pohara Beach set the tone for laid-back afternoons and sunset drinks. In winter, the wood fire creates a cosy atmosphere, while warmer months invite you outdoors — just a five-minute walk to the beach and moments from Pohara’s local cafés and eateries.
