Highly recommended! Beautiful place to stay. Very clean and comfortable and right by the beach. Hosts had excellent communication and made us feel so welcome. Close to shops and great restaurants/cafes.
This was like a home away from home.Communication with the hosts was easy with very prompt responses.Well fitted out kitchen, great shower and comfortable beds. Location was excellent with the beach just across the road and the shops a short stroll away. This property comes highly recommended, you won't be disappointed.
Had a lovely stay at this property with my two kids - each having their own room was a bonus, couldn't fault the property or the communication with the owners either.
A lovely property with everything you could need. Spacious, modernized and clean. Lovely hosts who were very responsive with communication. Thoroughly recommend and hope to stay again.
Karen and Bill have put alot if thought into providing a great get away location The place was clean cosy and very welcoming. We thoroughly enjoyed our time there 😀

Great location for exploring the Kapiti Coast. Home away from home. Loved the beach walks
Lovely house that was warm, clean and well equipped for the weekend. Very handy to both Paraparaumu beach and Raumati Beach. Check in was easy and hosts very responsive.
