Great location and house
The house is as advertised with lots of space. We found it a great location near the beach, cafes and bakery and playground. Would stay again. Do be careful if parking up above the house though as there is a steep bank that’s hard to see from in your car!

A superb home in a wonderful location
We had the pleasure in staying in this lovely house with our little dog. Dorothy the owner was excellent to deal with from my initial enquiry to welcoming us to her lovely house. The house is very clean and welcoming. Big lounge ,very comfortable couches, lovely dining area with views out to sea. Kitchen well equipped with all cooking utensils in very good condition. Spacious bathrooms and comfy beds. So close to shop and lovely cafe/ restaurants in Waikanae Beach. Would highly recommend Olde Beach if you are looking for a really nice house in a great location with an excellent host when visiting Kapiti.

About the host

Host profile image
Hi there. My name is Dorothy and i was born and grew up on a diary farm in Otorohanga - a medium sized service town in the Waikato. Since 2004, i and my family have been living in Waikanae. I am a stay-at-home Mum and in my spare time manage a small life style holding where we run a few animals as well as volunteering my time to coach netball and basketball at the local college which my daughter Livia attends . My partner Mark is a geophysicist and consults to the oil and gas industry. As a family we love to travel and experience different cultures and sights both in the developing and developed world.
We look forward to hearing from you and sharing our slice of paradise with you.
Warm regards, Dorothy, Mark and Livia.

Why they chose this property

We bought this property principally because of the stunning views of the ocean and Kapiti Island from the front balcony and living areas as well as its great location in the heart of Waikanae's sought after and protected 'Olde Beach' community where everything is just a few minutes walk, including the beach.
Guests particularly like the spacious open-plan living with wrap-around deck and BBQ areas. It is a great house for entertaining and guests who have stayed at Olde Beach Villa say it is the perfect place for a relaxing break.

As a provider of private holiday accommodation we ensure, Olde Beach Villa is subject to a meticulous cleaning regime before the arrival of each guest. As well as the high level of cleaning already provided, all often-touched spots in the home - door handles, electronics, the trash can cover, light switches, remote controls, tables, the fridge, etc and all used surfaces are cleaned with disinfectant.

You can rest assured that your environment is safer than hotels or commercial accommodations that host many people each month.

What makes this property unique

Our house is arguably located in the best part of Waikanae's Olde Beach area. With kms of pristine beach sheltered from the prevailing westerly winds by Kapiti Island, to the magnificent, wild landscape of the Tararua Range and Forest Park, Waikanae's natural beauty is breathtaking. The area is easily accessed by car, train or air, and just 45 minutes from the capital Wellington.
Waikanae is one of 5 coastal towns on the Kapiti Coast and includes one of the largest remaining areas of native forest - the beautiful Hemi Matanga Memorial Scenic Reserve. The town features boutique shops, cafes, restaurants, Kapiti's public art gallery, Mahara and a large and busy Saturday market.
Our house is situated in the sought after 'Olde Beach' area and is near to major attractions including Nga Manu Nature Reserve - a popular attraction for nature lovers with eel feeding, tuataras (NZ's largest native reptile and the only surviving member of a class of dinosaur that flourished ~200 million years ago) and many species of birds in a beautiful natural setting. Also nearby is Waikanae Golf Course, the Waikanae river and estuary walk, Southwards Car Museum, Queen Elizabeth Park and world renowned Kapiti Island.
The area offers abundant tramping, cycling and horse riding trails. Perhaps one of the biggest draws is Waikanae Beach itself. Easily accessible and sheltered by Kapiti Island, Waikanae Beach boasts one of the best swimming venues on the Kapiti Coast. Besides being safe and having a gentle descent from shallow to deep, it’s also soft on your feet as there are no stones or rocks underneath.
