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 Hair & Beautyy Spa just a 5-minute walk from 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.
