About this property

Funky 50's beach house

In this modern age a real novelty for some! Close proximity to beach shop, restaurants, markets, outlet shops and urban centre plus the Sunday market opposite New World is well worth a visit. In season you can pick your own herbs from our very own garden. An hours drive from Wellington/Palmerston North.

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

We had fun looking at all the quirky memorabilia, much of it sparking memories of our childhood and grandparents' homes, even if it was a bit of sensory overload! House was generally clean, and beach a short walk away.Check-in and out was simple; owner was easily contactable when we initially had a bit of difficulty connecting to the WiFi.

The outside deck is excellent and the back garden very good. The inside of the house is too cluttered with ornaments, decorations, furnishings, etc. and needs pairing down. It looks like an op-shop and smells very musty. The house is a close walk to the beach, river, shop, bus stop, and cafes.

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.
