Beachfront Sea-Esta in Pōhara
Summary:
Sea-esta offers a stylish, open-plan layout with ocean views and direct beach access. The living and dining area is bright and modern, perfect for relaxing after a day of exploring. Cook with ease in the fully equipped kitchen or enjoy alfresco dining on the deck. With two peaceful bedrooms, it suits couples, small groups, or families looking to recharge by the sea. The first bedroom has a king bed and the second has two king singles.
The Space:
With two peaceful bedrooms, it suits couples, small groups, or families looking to recharge by the sea.
Guest Access:
Guests have full access to the entire house and outdoor deck, including all amenities - kitchen, laundry, BBQ, and secure parking, including a lockup spot for the boat. Self check-in makes arrival easy, so you can settle in and enjoy the beach right away.
The Neighborhood:
Located right on beautiful Pōhara Beach, Sea-esta is just minutes from local cafés, restaurants, and shops. You're close to Golden Bay’s top attractions, with walking trails, art galleries, and scenic drives nearby. The Pōhara Boat Club is just 5 minutes away for easy access to fishing, boating, and water sports.
Getting Around:
We recommend having a car to explore the area - Golden Bay’s gems are spread out, and parking is free at the house.
Other Things to Note:
Linen and bath towels are included in the reservation. A basic starter pack of tea, coffee, and toiletries is provided. For longer stays, you may need to top up. The house is self-catering.
We kindly ask guests to clean the BBQ after use and leave sandy shoes outside. This is a much-loved home, and the owner lives nearby, so the property is well cared for and support is close at hand if needed. Guests will still have their own private and peaceful stay, but we ask that the home, neighbours, and surrounding area are treated with care and respect.
Parties, events, large gatherings, and additional overnight guests are not permitted. Please keep noise to a considerate level at all times.
Check-in instructions will be provided before arrival. This is a non-smoking property. Smoking is only permitted outside, away from open doors and windows.
