About this property

Mohua - Pakawau Holiday Home

  • Positioned right on the shores of Pakawau Beach, this welcoming three-bedroom holiday home is an ideal retreat for families, couples, and friends looking to unwind by the sea.

    Wake each morning to the sound of gentle waves and sweeping ocean views. With the beach quite literally on your doorstep, you can spend your days strolling along the sand, beachcombing, fishing, swimming, or simply soaking up the tranquillity of this spectacular coastal setting. The cosy open-plan living area is designed to make the most of the stunning outlook, creating a warm and inviting space to relax after a day outdoors. During cooler months, light the fire and settle in with a book, while the Sonos sound system provides the perfect soundtrack to your holiday.

    On sunny days, make the most of the exceptional outdoor setting. Fire up the BBQ, enjoy meals on the patio, and watch boats drift across the bay while the sea breeze rolls in. For a truly memorable experience, soak in the outdoor bath and enjoy the peaceful surroundings beneath the stars.

    If adventure is calling, Mohua is perfectly positioned to explore some of Golden Bay's most breathtaking attractions. Visit the iconic Wharariki Beach, less than 30 minutes away, or spend the day hiking, kayaking, and discovering the natural beauty of Abel Tasman National Park, located around an hour's drive along the scenic coastline.

    Whether you're exploring the region or simply relaxing in this absolute beachfront location, Mohua provides a memorable coastal escape. It's easy to see why this much-loved retreat remains a favourite accommodation choice for guests returning to Golden Bay year after year.
    Bedroom 3 is a loft above the lounge area accessed via a ladder from the living area. It is not recommended for use by children under 5 years old. It has restricted headspace. The beds are mattresses on a box base.
    The property can accommodate a maximum of 6 adults as a single bed in the loft area has very low headroom.

    As the property has unfenced access to the beach, adults should closely supervise young children while outside to ensure they are safe around water.

    WIFI is available but the reception is unreliable due to the location of the property.
