About this property

Now with unlimited fibre broadband! Warm,2 bedroom bach in quiet,sunny location.

Waitarere Beach is the perfect place to enjoy a relaxed pace of life. Get away for a weekend or mix business and pleasure with the convenience of working remotely with unlimited fibre broadband. Enjoy beach and forest walks or fabulous lazy days watching TV, DVDs playing games or reading books by the fire.

NB: This is not serviced accomodation so guests are required to provide their own linen (sheets, pillowcases, towels and teatowels), and thoroughly clean and tidy the bach before departure. ie The bonus being that there are no compulsory fees added for linen or cleaning.

The bach is checked between stays to ensure a high quality of cleanliness and presentation and we keep the facilities well maintained.

Our pricing is based on 2 adults with up to 2 children staying free. Each additional adult is $20, additional child $10 per night on top of base rate.

Small children are kept safe on the deck with a slide in gate. Watch the kids riding their bikes around the cul de sac enjoying with a glass of wine on the front deck or relax under the sunshade in the BBQ area.

About the host

Hosted by lisani598

Host profile image
We are a family of 5 who like everyone else lead busy work and personal lives. We live on the Kapiti Coast and love the area and community. The bach for us is a place where we let go of the stresses and pressures of everyday and allow ourselves to reconnect as a family, slow down and breathe. There is nothing like a walk on the beach to clear the head and remind yourself of the importance of life balance.

Why they chose this property

The Beach Retreat is fully insulated so with a log burner which heats the whole house, it promises to provide a warm winter stay unlike many other 'old school' kiwi baches.
Quiet location, clean and tidy with something to entertain everyone.

What makes this property unique

Fully equipped for families with a range of games, toys, books and DVD's for both young and old. Guests often describe The Beach Retreat as a 'Home away from Home'
