Love this place, and it's stunning location - with the towering Paekakariki Hill behind you, and the wild sea and coastline view right on the edge of the front lawn. It is so peaceful and remote, yet also has Fisherman's Table right next door and 1 min drive to the lovely Paekakariki township ;) Penny & Bas are great hosts, and are right next door, but ensure your complete privacy and have the place looking beautiful every time, love the beach artwork around the place too. & Thank you Penny for the cheese scones!! ;)

Thanks for a lovely review but as you know it is all true. As I always say,you don't need to go to the Islands for a holiday. Perhaps, apart from the tropical temperatures, you can enjoy the beach and the sea right outside your front door and Kapiti Island just across the water.

This glorious space was the perfect combination for us. A homely , well outfitted space right on the edge of the beach with stunning views to Kapiti Island and over to the top of the Marlborough Sounds. Needless to say the sunsets were quite beautiful. Such a quiet space with the only sound being that of the sea. The owners, who live next door, were so kind and thoughtful ensuring we had everything we needed, arriving in later in the day to find they had dropped the newspaper to our door. Paekakariki village is a short drive, with access up the coast an easy drive. So plenty to do while you are staying. We highly recommend this property and give it a 10/10 in every respect.

Fantastic views and location, modern clean accommodation

We loved our stay at Ariki View. Fantastic spot with access directly to the beach, and all the facilities you could want including games etc for kids. Owner’s Penny and Bas live immediately next door and were wonderful hosts. Little notes around the place with great tips 😀. Would love to come back at some stage

Wonderful guests. Even with 4 children the place was left as if they hadn't been in. One of the children did a little drawing in the visitors book of the sun going down. This made there stay even more special.

What a fabulous property and location. We were in Paekakariki for a family wedding so Ariki View was simply ideal for us…..we just wish we had stayed longer. The proximity to the Fisherman’s Table was also an added plus.

Sanctuary in Paekakariki

We had the most fabulous time staying at this beachside property. With two teenagers who could run along the beach while we sat in the sun enjoying a G&T, it was perfect for relaxing. Beautifully clean, and well appointed property with everything there for a wonderful getaway. Owners Penny and Baz were exceptional hosts.

Although a one nighter Jenna left Ariki View - and as she says "Paradise," as if they hadn't been in. Would definitely welcome them back so they could see a sunset.
