Twin bedroom downstairs, queen bedroom upstairs off a mezzanine living area with futon style sofa bed. New bathroom and water system since 2020! Outside seating areas front and back.

The house is perfect for a small family, but the location is the real draw. The Waimanu Lagoon at the back door is stunning and peaceful and filled with a multitude of birds. From the front door is it short stroll to Waikanae Beach and all that it offers.
The owner gave very food info about the stairs and as we are in our 80’s we decided to sleep downstairs. It’s a lovely bach in a great spot by the beautiful lagoons with bountiful wildlife and close to the beach
The bach is right on the beautiful lagoon, you could easily spend a day just sitting on the back deck just watching the birds. The inside is cosy, with everything you need in a holiday home. The owner is great, with speedy communication, and lots of helpful info.

About the host
Hosted by Jennifer Wheatcroft
I moved to New Zealand from Bristol UK in 2004 with my young child and partner, I am back in the UK now for a few years. I love sharing the bach in this way, it was built as a holiday bach and suits its role perfectly! I hope others enjoy it as much as I have done over the years.
Why they chose this property
It was my dream to live in New Zealand for many years and I chose to live in this region after travelling through NZ for 5 months in 2000/2001. I had friends in Kapiti and it seemed to make sense to live near the capital city, and then perhaps move from there to a more remote location in the future. I never left as Waikanae Beach is so beautiful!
What makes this property unique
Beautiful lake side setting, tranquil and peaceful, always a joy to wake up and see the ducks, geese and swans gliding over the water and the pukekos picking their way around the lagoon side
