Country retreat ✨️ 5 min from the most beautiful beach

✨ Off-grid country getaway on pure spring water 💧✨
Come unwind in the countryside — just 5 minutes from one of the most beautiful beaches around.
Enjoy the best of both worlds: peaceful rural vibes with everything close by — golf course, country club, local dairy, classic fish & chips, and the Duke pub known for great meals and a welcoming atmosphere 👌
There are plenty of local attractions too — arts and crafts, unique landmarks (including the famous longest place name!), a local gym for those who love to stay active, massage therapy, and more.
Horse lovers welcome 🐎 — bring your horse and enjoy beach rides, jumps, and arena access.
Relax, recharge, and experience the simple beauty of country living

  • Picture tells it all, well except for the silky smooth sand. This photo was taken in the peak of summer holidays (3 Jan 2015). On the coast road between Waipukurau and Masterton. Beautiful sandy beach made for sand castles, fishing, walking, blow carts, etc including annual Easter races and the odd Polo game.

Exactly what I needed and was expecting - quiet, calm, beautiful scenery, comfortable bed, a short drive to the beach. Beware of the cute elderly dog Tank who will visit you. Tank has been deprived of belly rubs his whole entire life and you may be the only person who can remedy this.

Peace and quiet in the country!

We had a lovely stay in Porongahau. Katrina’s place was great for us to chill and take in the fresh country air, with visits from Tank the friendly dog and a lovely horse to pat. The Bach is very rustic, with an attached compost toilet and a gas heated hose for a shower, which added to the adventure and country charm! Katrina was a great host and very friendly.One thing that the place would benefit from is some curtains. Other than that - it was a great stay :)
