Time is nearly up on a fundraising auction that could net you a new home.

Pukehina Surf Rescue’s tiny home auction closes tomorrow.

The one-of-a kind tiny home, The Motu, is being auctioned on Trademe to raise money for what is hoped will be the final push to get the lifeguard service’s new clubhouse over the line.

The new building is nearly competed and already in use and once fully operational will be a vital facility that supports lifesaving patrols, junior surf programmes and protection for beach goers.

The 28.8sqm Motu has been designed for comfort and functionality.

It has one bedroom a modern bathroom fully equipped with a gas water heater, a functional kitchen and lounge.

The tiny home is currently located at the surf club, with the auction’s winning bid also covering relocation within the Bay of Plenty.

“This project has been a labour of love,” said Andrew McDowell, Pukehina Surf Rescue Chairman and builder of The Motu.

“The new clubhouse will be a game-changer for our lifeguards and the wider community, and this auction is the final push to get it done.”

Community project

The community has poured its heart into the clubhouse project, with over 600 hours of donated labour from local tradies and businesses.

The retail value of the tiny home sits between $120,000 - $130,000, but with all proceeds funding the final phase of the clubhouse, the goal is to exceed that and secure the future of Pukehina Surf Rescue.
