Waikanae Booka batch

We stayed with our 3 grandchildren and found the place was plenty big enough for us plus the close proximity to the beach and the playgrounds were an added bonus. House well presented I recommend this property as an excellent batch for up to 8 people. Judy

Thanks Dorothy, what a lovely place to stay at Waikanae beach. The whole check in /check out process was pleasant and easy. You have 2 beach access points across the road. Nice sea views from the balcony Everything was very clean and tidy. Good layout with the 2 bathrooms and laundry. Spacious living area plus the deck. Good parking as well 2 cafes within walking distant and the 4Square is 2 minutes walk. Highly recommend if you want a nice place close to the beach and cafes. A+

Great location and house

The house is as advertised with lots of space. We found it a great location near the beach, cafes and bakery and playground. Would stay again. Do be careful if parking up above the house though as there is a steep bank that’s hard to see from in your car!

A superb home in a wonderful location

We had the pleasure in staying in this lovely house with our little dog. Dorothy the owner was excellent to deal with from my initial enquiry to welcoming us to her lovely house. The house is very clean and welcoming. Big lounge ,very comfortable couches, lovely dining area with views out to sea. Kitchen well equipped with all cooking utensils in very good condition. Spacious bathrooms and comfy beds. So close to shop and lovely cafe/ restaurants in Waikanae Beach. Would highly recommend Olde Beach if you are looking for a really nice house in a great location with an excellent host when visiting Kapiti.
