Is there a better apartment on the coast - unlikely!
If you are visiting Kapiti on business or leisure you will love our high quality apartment, elevated with stunning views of the sea, Kapiti Island and the South Island. You would have sole use of the large deck to enjoy Al Fresco dining or simply take in the last of the Kapiti sun, the views and the incredible sunsets. The safe Raumati South beach is across the road and we are walking distance to the “Sunday Cantina” and “Raumati South Social Club”cafe and restaurant. For the more active it is just a short walk to Kapiti's best kept secret, QE2 Park and its many walking and cycling tracks.
Short drive to many Kapiti Coast attractions: -Paraparaumu Beach International Golf Course -Kapiti Island -a must to visit but bookings essential. - Southwards Car Museum - Coastlands Shopping Centre - Raumati Beach Village Shops - Paraparaumu Beach Village Shops - Restaurants - Aquatic Centre - Movie Theatres - Playgrounds
Public transport a short distance away Special conditions: We live upstairs with two small dogs. Our drive is rather steep so guests have the option of parking at the bottom of the drive and walking up or drive to the top. If necessary we will be available to assist. It would pay to discuss with Doug or Jan before you arrive. We will be able to give you directions because as per the heading it is a Secret Hideaway.
Extras: Cleaning (Required, NZ$30.00 per stay); Linen (included);

This was a super relaxing, sunny and peaceful mini stay.
Of note is the cleanliness of the accommodation. This can really make or break a stay for us. Being well appointed and clean was a real bonus on top of those beautiful ocean views.
Despite the rubbish weather, our 6 night stay at Doug & Jan’s was just what we were looking for!! Of all the motels and B&Bs we have stayed at, this would easily top the list!! Looking forward to our next stay, and will hopefully fluke better weather to allow for more of those amazing beach walks at low tide :-)
Thoroughly enjoyed staying here - very welcoming and very clean. Fantastic communication with the owners and particularly enjoyed the treats left to welcome us. Gorgeous views and very quiet We will definitely be back.
We had a great weekend in this very well set up bach. The hosts were really friendly, and made us feel welcome. We were lucky to get to make full use of the deck with beautiful sunset views.
Lovely place to escape the city for a few days. The place is modern, clean, tidy, and had everything we needed. Our hosts were incredibly accommodating, even dropping us off at the station after we checked out! Looking forward to coming back again sometime.
Jan was amazing. Dougs chutney is gorgeous. Perfect weekend getaway from the norm to relax and forget about work. The only downside is the steep drive but Shane negotiated reversing very well. Well worth the stay, thank you Jan and Doug.
We absolutely loved our stay here - such a great location just a couple of minutes walk to the beach (and its walk-way). Wish we could have stayed longer! Thanks so much to Doug and Jan for being great hosts!
Fantastic hosts and property location, with great amenities. The weather wasnt great but that wasn't a bad thing as we really got to enjoy the apartment and have a very relaxing weekend! Would definitely love to stay again!
A great place to relax with amazing views, beautiful linen and a special touch with the wine, beer, crackers, cheese and chutney which were enjoyed. Thank you for sharing your place.
First, Doug and Jan were so welcoming, and they made sure I had everything I needed for a comfortable stay. The place is lovely, and I could have spent forever sitting on the deck and looking at the sea. I have to say I think this is the best vacation rental I've stayed at in years!
