Old school Kiwi bach! 2 minute walk to the beach. Long beach restaurant just up the road, bakery a 2 minute drive away. Steak and cheese pie and ice creams at the 4 square up the road. It’s basic, functional and great value. Off street parking behind a locked gate was a bonus. NB bring your own sheets and towels!

Great location. Excellent communication with host and check in/out procedure. Weather was not great and the heat pump / ac was not good at getting the house warm. No wifi! Something I should have checked beforehand and is a game changer if visiting from overseas...which we were.All in all a good experience and would book again if coming back...

I don't like to be critical but waiting 2hrs after check in time with no lockbox number and having to send repeated messages and make repeated calls to bookabach was not how we wanted to start our wee break. Proximity to the beach was great. Had to use our towels to clean the shower as the shower squeegie was mouldy. Kitchen draws could do with a good clean. No can opener....its the little things.

There was a couple things the house smelled like it hadn't been aired out in days, Dirty pots and frying pan that really put us off so we didnt cook during our stay, the house was in ok clening oder and the shower is weak and dont push out a lot of water. Upside Great price Great location The bed is nice and comfortable Great to have a dryer for all the washing Kids loved the upstairs roomDont appreciate cleaning up before we left to then get a email saying i didnt wipe surfaces or vacuum the floor when in fact i most probably left the house clener then what it was when we got there. Now have a 65 bill so make sure to take photos/video's before and after.Note: This is our second time staying ( 2 years apart) would we return next time around most probably not.

We found the property to be exactly what we needed. Enough room in the lounge for our 1yo to move around comfortably, a private room upstairs with bunk beds, and a warm main bedroom off the lounge. Stairs to upstairs is a tight fit but not an issue. The option of extra bedding with a sofa bed in the lounge, is good to know when we book in the future.We loved our stay, close to the beach and a very nice quiet area.

Great short stay in Waikanae Beach

This was a great location to base myself for a couple of days cycling around the Kāpiti coast.There is a fantastic bakery a short walk down the road offering tasty coffee and excellent pastries (savory and sweet).The beach is only a block away and provides a nice open walk with views out to Kāpiti island.The house was easy to access, clean, and comfortable.

Great location

The house was comfortable, well equipped & handy to the beach. The lack of Wifi was not a problem for us. Nor was it an issue to take our own linen. However, we grappled with the poorly maintained front gates which resulted in an injured finger. Despite leaving the house clean & tidy, & as we had found it, we were surprised, 9 days later, to be charged a “cleaning” fee of 60. All in all though we enjoyed our stay.
