Offering a break from the 'minimalist' trend of interior design, this home offers a visual cornucopia to the eye with lots to look at, both old and new. Shelves and walls are covered with items that evoke memories for the older generation and fascination for others. Plenty of games for the wet days and a wonderful deck and backyard for summer days.

We had a lovely stay at this funky kiwi bach in Ōtaki Beach. With shops and food just up the road in Ōtaki and the water just a stone’s throw away it was the perfect spot to chill and enjoy all that the Kāpiti Coast has to offer. We were there for the Matariki on Moana festival which takes place right around the corner at The Hori Gallery so it was super convenient. Chitra’s a super cool host and was very clear with all the coms and welcoming as! 100% would stay here again!

Very funky. Old and original but well kept. Very well set up kitchen. Big highlight for us - the turntable and well curated vinyl collection, DVDs , movie posters and assorted curios.

Thank you Chitra for another comfortable stay in the beach house. I left 20.00 on the bench for washing. Also another man came over in a thunderbird and enquired if yu were available and let him know fence people were there earlier. So grateful for our stay in funky beach house.Nga mihi Ivan and Lisa

A rockabilly beach-house dream

We really enjoyed our stay here in Otaki, close to the beach, great communication from the host and what a treat if you're into 50s - 60s vibe. Truly a lot of love has gone into this place.
