About this property

SEABREEZE@Longshore: heated swimming pool, spa, tennis court, 1 minute to beach

Seabreeze is a sunny and spacious 5 bedroom Lockwood house adjacent to the big Longshore beach house and the Tennis Pavilion (a studio bach). It's just one house back from Waikanae Beach, with beach access via a private walkway. Just 60 seconds to Kapiti's best beach!

The three properties share an all-weather (artificial grass) tennis court, a large, heated swimming pool (mid-Sept to end of April) and a big Springfree trampoline.

Seabreeze is comfortable and very well-maintained, with quality beds, a great kitchen and plenty of space.

We have flexible bed configurations to suit families, singles and small conferences etc. All of our beds are superkings that can be split into two long singles on request. (Please ignore the summary bed descriptions from Bookabach - they don't have options to show superkings or long singles! Just click the blue "See all rooms and beds details" link above and you'll be able to see the precise options. )

The living/dining/kitchen area is on the first floor. It's open-plan, with a huge solid dining table for 12, heat pump and wood burner, three leather sofas, access to a first-floor deck and stairs down to the pool area. There's great sun and views all around, and a 55" smart TV, DVD, unlimited WiFi and stereo.

There's a new kitchen with stainless steel benches, double fridges, 5 burner gas stove, large oven, microwave, dishwasher, plenty of crockery etc.

There are two bedrooms on the first floor, each with a superking bed splitable into two long singles. Downstairs are three bedrooms, two with a heat pumps. Bedrooms 3 and 4 each have a superking bed splitable into two long singles. (NB: Access to bedroom 4 is via bedroom 3.) Bedroom 5 has two superking beds, each splitable into two long singles. Pillows and feather & down duvets are supplied; linen and bathtowels are optional.

There are two new bathrooms on the ground floor and one bathroom on the first floor, plus a hot and cold outdoor shower. There's continuous mains pressure hot water. There's a separate laundry with clothes-washer, dryer and supertub.

The backyard features a shared and fully fenced swimming pool, heated from mid-September until the end of April. Seabreeze guests also have a separate area with 7 seat spa pool, sun loungers on extensive decking and a big outdoor dining table.

There's plenty of parking in the front yard and a bus stop across the road.

Waikanae beach is the best on the Kapiti Coast, north-west facing and sheltered by Kapiti Island.

Seabreeze can be booked singly up to 12 months ahead or with Longshore up to 15 months ahead.

NB: Due to a recent Government directive, Bookabach must add GST and pay this to IRD on behalf of the property owner. As we are already GST registered, we have changed our rates on this website to GST-exclusive.

The minimum rental period may be negotiable - please enquire. (We seldom accept one-night hires due to the cost of setting up and cleaning up the property but will consider two-day one-night hires for mid-week business conferences. A supplement applies to 1-night hires, if accepted.)

The tennis court, trampoline and swimming pool are shared between Seabreeze, Longshore and the Tennis Pavilion. The swimming pool is heated from mid-September to the end of April each year. The swimming pool is for the exclusive use of Seabreeze guests in the evenings (after 6pm) and before 9am in the morning.

Excellent getaway for a family
We loved our stay at this beautiful property on Waikanae Beach. The house is a very sturdy Lockwood home with two bedrooms, 1 bathroom and lounge, kitchen upstairs and remaining bedrooms and 2 bathrooms downstairs. The layout worked great for us with younger kids upstairs and older ones downstairs. the pool was wonderful, as was the trampoline and tennis court. 4 minute walk to the beach was great! Kitchen well equipped and we even enjoyed the old school blu-ray player. Thanks Chris!

Great for three generation family celebration
We know if the weather had been more summery over the weekend we would have been in the outdoor areas and beach the whole weekend. However weather wasn't on our side for that. The outdoor space is fantastic and provides such a great range of activities for families. This is a venue we would hire for our family again in the future. Thank you

About the host

Hosted by Chris Calvi-Freeman and Joanne Lyall

Host profile image
We are New Zealanders who lived overseas in Sydney and London for many years. On returning to New Zealand in 2014, we looked up and down Kapiti Coast before deciding that Waikanae Beach is the perfect location. We purchased the Longshore properties (Seabreeze, Longshore and the Tennis Pavilion) over 2014-2015 and established them as a suite of holiday houses for short term rental. We have two children and we are based in Wellington but spend a lot of our time ensuring the Longshore properties offer the best possible accommodation for our guests.

Why they chose this property

Seabreeze is a relaxed, traditional style Lockwood beach house with recently renovated kitchen and three bathrooms. It has a large dining table and outdoor tables to suit up to 12 guests. Bedrooms have good quality beds and the whole house is furnished well with a woodburner to keep guests cosy in the winter and heatpumps for warmth or cooling as needed. The rear deck area is beautifully landscaped with outdoor furniture a spa pool and direct access to the shared heated pool.

What makes this property unique

Beautiful landscaped rear deck area and shared use of heated pool and adjacent all-weather tennis court and large Springfree trampoline as well as private use of the spa pool under a Fijian style bure.
