Every time the sun pokes its head out and adorns you with that beautiful wintery hue, you find yourself dreaming of morning walks along the beach and crisp, fresh evenings, looking up at a blanket of stars... shame the city streetlights block your view.

Get out of the city and onto the beach when you grab 50% off two or three nights in a one bedroom motel unit including continental breakfast and internet at Pohara Beachfront Motel in Golden Bay.

• $149 for two nights at Phoara Beachfront Motel incl continental breakfast and Internet.
• $219 for three nights at Pohara Beachfront Motel including continental breakfast and Internet. 

Spend a couple of days wandering the Pohara sandy beaches, kicking stones into the waves and possibly daring yourself to a winter swim. Relax in your gorgeous beachside motel unit and sleep in until you are ready for a delicious continental brekkie, you even have your own kitchenette if you are feeling particularly ambitious in the cooking department. Otherwise, the village’s cafes, bars and restaurants are a short stroll from your doorstep. Spend your days away grinning from ear to ear – you will be flanked by mountainous ranges and open, stunning beaches – nothing like some gorgeous Golden Bay scenery to ease the mind and lift the spirits.
