Sleeping 7 people this is a modern and clean place for families and friends to enjoy all the Kapiti Coast has to offer. Sky TV, outdoor area and swing for the kiddies make this perfect for relaxing! Fully equipped kitchen and additional kitchenette downstairs are convenient luxuries.

Our bach is a short (100 metres) walk away from the beach, Queen Elizabeth Park, a children's playground, cafe, restaurant and is the perfect place to get away from it all.

Finish the day with a relaxing spa bath outside under the stars... bliss...

House was perfect for our family. Your cleaner may need to look up when cleaning bedrooms, as downstairs two bedrooms had large cobwebs the width of the beds. I left them there.Also the drive into house was very slippery,causing our car to slip when trying to leave. May need some netting on!!!! Also an outdoor light needed by main door.

We had a great stay. Bach was just right for our needs - meeting up with friends in the area. Comfy beds and plenty of space to relax.I missed the details in the listing that required quests to bring sheets/towels which made it slightly awkward - but this didn’t diminish our stay. Good communication and clear instructions on how to access - which was a relief with our late arrival. We’d stay there again.

Matariki weekend

Really awesome balcony space, with sun drenched views of kapiti islandLots of options for watching a good selection of DVDS and had a chrome cast which made it easy. An easy 5 minutes from raumiti beach which wss perfect for sunrise and sunset.The place however was a quite unclean on arrival. There was hair in upstairs bathroom sink, there were dirty dishes in the sink, cowebs in windows, dust visibly in bedrooms, bathrooms, rubbish not being empty (which is understandable, as we couldnt find a bin when leaving)It appeared that no one had come in and cleaned since the last people. The bedding was ok. We brought our own linen, but there were stains on blankets and visibly unwashed. In bed downstairs the bed had some sharp bits in it - maybe an indicator that its seen better reviews. Having said all of this, would stay here again. If a cleaner had come it would have been perfect. It was a lovely space to hang out with friends. The kitchen was unusually well stocked with good kitchen utensils and a plethora of trays, pots to choose from. Lots of different spaces to choose from to hangout and an unmatched view of kapiti island.

A perfect holiday

We have had such a wonderful time. The bach has lots of interesting spaces, not least being the bath on the roof which we just loved as night descended. We also loved the beach, just down a walkway, which was safe for the children and great for walking down. We felt that the bach was a 'proper' bach in that we could relax and enjoy it. Thank you very much for having us.

Home away from home

We loved our stay here. Perfect for what we wanted to do. Beautiful inside and out, great view of Kapiti Island. Only thing i could pick up was that the counters and front of the cupboards were dirty, also some spots on the kitchen floor had drops of food/sauce on it. Other than that it was perfect.Other that that it was perfect.

Lovely house

The house was a lovely place for my family too spend Christmas. The large living area meant that everyone had space (especially with the rainy days that we had). The proximity to the esplanade and QEII Park were great for walks. Really nice place overall. Communication with property owners was super easy, with an the information we needed.

Relaxing weekend

The bach was comfortable and located close to the beach. It was a good spot for a short weekend stay, and stargazing from the rooftop bath is special. Compared to some other Kapiti locations there isnt much else with walking distance, e.g. cafes, park. If staying here with children of any age, you may want to bring your own rubbish bins. There is just one small one for the entire house.

Nice place, just a few points: smelt musty, difficult to open & shut downstairs bedroom windows to air the place. Upstairs toilet, floors and fridge dirty. Please buy new frying pans, I had to borrow one to use at your place cos yours are wrecked. otherwise spacious and enjoyable.

Crash pad

We wanted somewhere to stay close by to a dying relative, and this fitted the bill nicely. We had adequate facilities to get by for this purpose. The only trouble we had was that the neighbor threw a very loud party on Saturday night. We had to phone the police to try to shut them down. Despite the owner of the property trying to be helpful, providing a contact number for the neighbour and declaring this hadn't happened before, the Police told us that they already had the details of the neighbor due to having complaints filed about him before. Wouldn't stay there again solely because of this.

Great place for a girls night away

Great place - relaxed…is as described - not perfect but a great back! Loved sitting in the sun in the day room with the windows open - so peaceful. Could hear the ocean. A five minute trot to the sea - lovely. We did not use the outside bath or balcony as was a bit separate but would be lovely up there with candles and some music and lights.
