We had a lovely mid winter break here, we arrived to the fire lit, which was a lovely touch as well as some essentials like bread and milk. The home is well appointed and comfortable. Thanks again for a great stay and property.

The Perfect Stay!

Such a fantastic property, so quiet and we felt like we were at home. The owners were amazing and ensured we had everything we needed including some essentials in the fridge! They even brought in an extra remote controlled car for our 6 year old. Highly recommend as this ticks all the boxes, 100% would stay again.

The perfect place

The property was just as described and met or exceeded all our expectations. There was ample space for everyone, the rooms and layout was ideal. We were able to relax easily and we were welcomed by the owners who couldn't have been nicer. Loved the location and proximity to local facilities (including shops, beaches, golf, walks etc.). We hope to be back....

We had a wonderful stay on the Kapiti Coast. Debbie and Danny’s place had absolutely everything we could possibly need. It’s a spacious, sunny and very comfortable home, with plenty of indoor and outdoor space to relax and enjoy. The beds are incredibly comfortable, the kitchen is fully equipped, and the outdoor spa bath was heavenly.It truly feels like a family home, and having access to so many toys and games - along with a perfect room setup for our three-year-old - made our stay even more special.We had the best time and can’t thank Debbie and Danny enough for their hospitality. We would absolutely love to stay again and will definitely be back!

The room configuration and large size of kitchen and living area were perfect for our extended family. The fireplace made the house warm in winter with extra heating in bedrooms. Also well set up with toys for children. Our stay was excellent. We would definitely stay again. The owners were also very helpful.
