About the host
Hosted by Lisa
We love living in this part of the West Coast. The surfing, beach and walks are a big part of our lives here. We love our garden and wanted to share this little piece of Paradise with guests. We also have a Glamping site in the Kapiti Coast North Island- Dreamscape Glamping. Creating great spaces and experiences for people is what we are both passionate about.
Why they chose this property
We've spent time in Indonesia so this is as close to what we could create while not being there. My partners passion is the garden and I love the interior side of things. This is a little piece of Bali without travelling all that way. Our gardens and our decor reflect this. Its peaceful and tucked away but not too far away from the local Pub, 4 Square, Restaurants, walks and hikes.
What makes this property unique
The garden is unique for this area. We are also a hop step and jump from the Estuary, River and beach which is great for paddle boarding, surfing, kayaking or White Bait fishing in the season.
