The property is one of my favourite spots to stay in the area. On the coast with a great view of Kapiti and great beach access. It has everything you need for a short or long stay.

Excellent Location, Best for Short Stays

Our family of 5 stayed at the property for 8 weeks in June and July with a primary desire of a more traditional bach experience. With exception of the cleanliness, the property was as described and for the most part we were very happy with our stay there. That being said, we would not consider staying again if furniture/kitchen tools ware is not upgraded. Due to the size of our family would likely seek a larger space for a longer stay which has nothing to do with the property. It's great for short stays even with a family of 5. Things We Loved About Our Stay: - Views and location of property were amazing. - Owner was very responsive to all needs. - Property was very warm during the winter months. - Kitchen is newer and has modern appliances - Traditional kiwi bach experience Things To Consider Before Staying: - Storage is extremely limited for longer stays. - Property was not clean before arrival. Old food was found under the table cloth, behind the curtains and under the beds. Towels were left hanging outside for an unknown amount of time and thick dust was on everything. Limited tools on property to effectively clean. - Furniture, except in the main bedroom, is very tired and uncomfortable, especially for longer stays. - Kitchen is minimally stocked. Basic items like measuring cups and can openers were cracked and/or rusted. Coffee bar was stocked but unclean. - "Few Kids toys" were very minimal and either missing parts or broken.

Kapiti beach retreat

Great old school bach but with a nice internal modern update, just what we wanted as an experience away. Neat to see these style of baches still exist, love the walk straight on to the beach. Would definitely want to book an extended stay at this location and really soak up the Kapiti beach lifestyle

Great location

This little beach house is in a great location with beautiful views across to Kapiti island. Clean and well equipped for a relaxing break on the coast. I particularly enjoyed using the barbecue on the deck and enjoying a drink while watching the sunset. Convenient for the local shops, restaurants etc. Communication and check in, check out all went smoothly.

A fantastic spot for a relaxing week away in an old-style Kiwi bach that was clean, comfortable and very quiet. A great spot right on the water with views across to Kapiti Island. This was our second visit to this awesome property - we will definitely be back again in the future.

Lovely Batch

This place was perfect for our family of 4 (including two teens). Right on the beach, had everything we needed, updated kitchen, close to shops, delightful setting all around and classic return to batch living. Property manager was very responsive and friendly. Highly recommend.

Wonderful Location

A great kiwi Bach with all the basics. Great to walk down to the beach and explore. We had very strong vibrating earthworks next door for the 2 days we were there, a shame and it can't be helped but it sure took the shine off the days for us. Lovely wee place.

About the host

Hosted by DonaldAr1

We have owned the property for many years and rented to many guests. It is available year round and we genuinely enjoy having different guests stay there. We have had great feedback over the years and are always confident people will enjoy staying in the bach. I am a professional violinist in New Zealand's national orchestra.

Why they chose this property

It is a classic kiwi bach on the absolute beachfront. It is a bit like going back in time to the lazy beach bach days. Perfect sunsets and really sheltered. It has a gentle walk to the beach through the dunes to the beach. Families love relaxing on the balcony, watching kids play on the lawn. It is in the best part of the beach as you can see the sea from the house. It is also very close to the children's park and Paraparaumu Beach township.

What makes this property unique

SHELTERED AND PRIVATE, AMAZING VIEWS!
