About this property
D&J's Coastal Secret- Massive Views
Is there a better apartment on the coast - unlikely!
If you are visiting Kapiti on business or leisure you will love our high quality apartment, elevated with stunning views of the sea, Kapiti Island and the South Island. You would have sole use of the large deck to enjoy Al Fresco dining or simply take in the last of the Kapiti sun, the views and the incredible sunsets. The safe Raumati South beach is across the road and we are walking distance to the “Sunday Cantina” and “Raumati South Social Club”cafe and restaurant. For the more active it is just a short walk to Kapiti's best kept secret, QE2 Park and its many walking and cycling tracks.
Short drive to many Kapiti Coast attractions: -Paraparaumu Beach International Golf Course -Kapiti Island -a must to visit but bookings essential. - Southwards Car Museum - Coastlands Shopping Centre - Raumati Beach Village Shops - Paraparaumu Beach Village Shops - Restaurants - Aquatic Centre - Movie Theatres - Playgrounds
Public transport a short distance away Special conditions: We live upstairs with two small dogs. Our drive is rather steep so guests have the option of parking at the bottom of the drive and walking up or drive to the top. If necessary we will be available to assist. It would pay to discuss with Doug or Jan before you arrive. We will be able to give you directions because as per the heading it is a Secret Hideaway.
Extras: Cleaning (Required, NZ$30.00 per stay); Linen (included);

Very welcoming, very comfortable and such a beautiful view of Kapiti.- lovely hosts who clearly enjoy sharing their part of paradise with their guests.
Awesome accommodation with the most stunning views and sunsets.Everything you need was available, including the lovely complimentary refreshments and Doug's amazing chutney - so yummyCommunication was outstanding, and quick to respond to messagesDriveway was a bit scary 1st time backing down - just listen to the instructions given and you will be sweet!Highly recommend staying here if you just want to kick back and relax with amazing views - we will be back.
An excellently set out "Bach" .The amenities were second to none, great kitchen appliances, living/dining area very comfy, bathroom plenty of towels and toiletries and the most comfy bed. Plus very good outdoor furniture to seat and enjoy the seaview and Kapiti Island. On arrival met by Jan explained everything and had atray of cheese and biscuits bottle of beer and wine ,plus cant forget Dougs home made Eggplant Churtney yummie. If you are looking for a place to relax then we would highly recommend D & Js Coastal Secert.
Great weekend break - lovely apartment in great location. Lovely beach walks and easy walking to cafe. Fabulous views and great deck to relax on. Very comfortable bed and well equipped kitchen - everything that's needed for a great break away.
Thoroughly enjoyed staying here - very welcoming and very clean. Fantastic communication with the owners and particularly enjoyed the treats left to welcome us. Gorgeous views and very quiet We will definitely be back.
We absolutely loved our stay here - such a great location just a couple of minutes walk to the beach (and its walk-way). Wish we could have stayed longer! Thanks so much to Doug and Jan for being great hosts!
Despite the rubbish weather, our 6 night stay at Doug & Jan’s was just what we were looking for!! Of all the motels and B&Bs we have stayed at, this would easily top the list!! Looking forward to our next stay, and will hopefully fluke better weather to allow for more of those amazing beach walks at low tide :-)
Fantastic hosts and property location, with great amenities. The weather wasnt great but that wasn't a bad thing as we really got to enjoy the apartment and have a very relaxing weekend! Would definitely love to stay again!
Beach views are panoramic. Very restful and just what we needed for 4 days. Everything we needed in flat. Enjoyed the chutney n crackers. Walked beach and fished. Nearby are good eating places at Raumati.Hosts were lovely. Thank you for the restful space. Kind regards
This was a super relaxing, sunny and peaceful mini stay.
Of note is the cleanliness of the accommodation. This can really make or break a stay for us. Being well appointed and clean was a real bonus on top of those beautiful ocean views.
