Wow what a weekend we had, this bach is such a relaxing escape.The location and views, are stunning we enjoyed walking along the rugged beach even on a stormy day.We loved the retro feel, the wonderful open fireplace and falling asleep to the sound of the sea absolutely soul rejuvenating. We would go back every weekend if we could! Everything is there that you need, its a old bach but you can appreciate its special character when it just helps you to just slow down and relax. Wonderful kind thoughtful communications from Camilla What a special place. Thankyou.

A wonderful little classic bach with an awe-inspiring beachfront view of Kapiti Island. We were warm, relaxed and happy here. Taking a beach run and swim every day plus a daily walk to the Olde Beach Bakery for world-famous donuts and cookies left us feeling entirely rejuvenated exactly as hoped. Thanks for keeping your place simple and uncomplicated, and for sharing it!
