The first thing you’ll notice about Queenie is the warm homely feel and the two sun-drenched living spaces offering a space for everyone to relax. Put your feet up on the couch under the huge windows and get lost in a good book, or switch on the TV and catch up on your favourite show. An open fire keeps things cosy on those mid-year getaways, and in summer open up the windows and let the cool coastal breeze in.
Two bedrooms here at Queenie comfortably sleep up to six guests, and you’re also welcome to bring along an extra mattress for the kids to camp out in the living room. A full bathroom with a tub is waiting for you to pour a glass of wine and soak at the end of the day, and thanks to an additional shower and toilet, no-one needs to disturb you!
A well-equipped eat-in kitchen provides everything you need to self-cater your holiday, or head out on to the outdoor entertaining deck and spark up the BBQ. The huge lawn provides the perfect spot to stage a game of backyard cricket, and from the deck you’ve got a great line of sight to the neighbouring Victor Weggery Reserve.
The lock-up shed at the back of the carport is an ideal spot for you to store your bikes and beach equipment, and there’s even a washing machine in there for those longer getaways.
As well as having Victor Weggery Reserve with its adventure playground on your doorstep, the Waimea Lagoon Wildlife Refuge is also just a short walk away. Waikanae Beach is only 10 minutes on foot from Queenie, and jump in the car for five minutes and you'll find a well stocked Four Square Store.
You’ve worked hard for your beach break, so why not let Queenie make you feel like royalty! All guests should take extra care when accessing the deck and its steps. Adults should always supervise young children as there are no barriers or handrails to prevent falls.
Please note a bond may be charged at certain times of the year. One of our team members will contact you if this is required for your booking.

A classic vintage kiwi bach with full on 1960’s vibes. Very sunny and great location with park next door, close to walk ways and just a cohort stroll to the bakery, cafes and beach.
Very sunny so need to keep windows open to keep cool.
Doesn’t have a microwave so don’t plan any catering that requires microwave (our children could hardly believe a house could not have a microwave!)
Great for a relaxed weekend away
