The local dairy is only a 2 minte walk away for easy access to essentials, ice creams, or fish & chips! And the popular "Monty's Cafe located on the main Rd is a must visit during your stay- located at 502 Pukehina Parade.

Centrally located, Pukehina Beach is just a 15 min drive to Te Puke (past the golf club), 40 mins to Mt Maunganui and Tauranga (via toll road), or 60 mins to Rotorua and 40 minutes Whakatane – all excellent roads. If you need to refuel the boat BP is just 5 mins away.

Great location for the two popular nearby wedding venues at The Old Forest school and Estuary events.
