An amazing stay. The place was very clean and comfortable, and had everything we needed. The outdoor area, with its view of the beach and Kapiti Island was stunning . Magic!
We love this little Bach. This is our 4th stay. We love the view and easy access to the beach and stream. The kids are happy to play on the beach for hours - a perfect get away
We had three wonderfully relaxing days and nights here a this cute retro bach. Fabulous views framing Kapiti Island and just a short stroll through the dunes to the beach. Comfy bed, cosy house, everything you need and not far from restaurants and shops. Great comms from the host and look forward to returning soon.
quintessential beachfront kiwi bach what feels like a 1960's in tidy original condition, fantastic beachfront location close to 4 square and 3 good restaurants, be part of the bach life on the ocean
Very cute bach with stunning views over the dunes and sea to Kapiti Island - could look at them for hours! Everything was comfortable although the bed was a bit short for us. Wonderful place to relax and get away from it all, no TV meant we read and played games and unwound. Communication with host was easy and prompt. Thank you so much
The property is in a beautiful setting and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
Camilla was really helpful and gave us some good suggestions for the local area.
We will definitely come and stay again
