About

You’ll find Pukehina Retreat set amongst the white fluffy beaches in the Western Bay of Plenty and Bay of Plenty Region, a 30-minute drive from Mount Maunganui. Architecturally designed, Pukehina Retreat is stunningly elevated, overlooking the tranquil estuary, adjacent to the main Pukehina beach. This private retreat sleeps 6 and is elegantly furnished with everything you need for cooking and entertaining. Make your stay extra special and include a relaxing massage, hair or beauty treatment in the adjoining BLACK&WHITE Beauty Spa - a popular choice for bridal parties and day conferences.

The retreat can be booked for weekends, weekdays for holidays or wedding accommodation, hens parties, retreats or just a relaxing weekend away. We also welcome corporate functions or small groups - please let us know if you require certified practitioners, speakers or catering for your events.

Pukehina is a hidden treasure, an easy drive from Tauranga, Rotorua, or Whakatane you can be at this timeless beach settlement within the hour. The unspoiled coastline offers beach walks, the estuary can be kayaked, or you can relax and enjoy the peaceful setting of this stylish boutique accommodation. 

YOUR HOSTS

Hello and welcome. We’re Kerry and Kevin, passionate beach lovers living and working in the heart of Pukehina Beach. The stress-relieving ocean, salty air, and sandy beach always leave us feeling calm, at peace and at home. We’re both from Pukehina, so custom building the beautiful oasis we call our retreat, felt so right. We are in love with the lifestyle we live here, and the amazing community we’re surrounded by is just an added bonus!

Kerry runs BLACK&WHITE beauty, a successful beauty clinic adjacent to the retreat. Her beauty clinic pairs quite perfectly to the increase in beach weddings and functions in the area. She’s not limited to functions and is available for private bookings as well.

We have been married for over 30 years with two beautiful children. When we’re not at the beach, you’ll find us fishing, skiing (on the mountains), tramping and cycling

Together, we support our local and wider community and contribute through a range of charities and fundraising events. We donate the retreat as auction prizes for many fundraising events and we feel very strongly about giving back

We look forward to welcoming you into our tranquil oasis, sharing our passions and giving you the opportunity to experience all the Pukehina has to offer.

Kerry and Kevin

We look forward to hosting you.
