We spent seven glorious nights here and it was honestly just divine. The house is one of the most stunning houses I’ve ever had the privilege of staying in and the beach is just beautiful. It’s a nice quiet and gentle beach, perfect for kids and ideal for swimming if you don’t want to be washed away by the waves. We especially loved the gentle 1min stroll through the fields of grasses and flowers to the beach. Sitting on the glorious deck looking out over Kapiti island, or enjoying the stars, falling asleep to the sound of waves and reading books in the many sunny nooks and using the absolutely huge kitchen was so relaxing and enjoyable. The house is incredibly gorgeous and very well designed to maximise all the glorious features of the sunshine and surrounding land. Very private and very quiet, great parking and well equipped with everything we needed! 10/10 to this beautiful property, highly recommend.

Your 10/10 rating and high recommendation inspire us, and we hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back for another exceptional holiday.

Das Haus hat eine ausgezeichnete Lage zum Strand und für die Erkundung der Gegend um Wellington. Es ist ganz neu und qualitativ hochwertig eingerichtet. Die Strandlage ist ebenfalls einmalig gut. Wir können die Unterkunft nur sehr empfehlen. Sie ist noch beeser als Sie anhand der Bilder sehen können.

Translation to English - "55 km north of Wellington - great location
The house is in an excellent location for the beach and for exploring the area around Wellington. It is brand new and furnished to a high standard. The beach location is also unique. We can highly recommend the accommodation. It is even better than you can see from the pictures."
It’s wonderful to hear that you enjoyed both the home and its fantastic beachside location, Almut. Being well-situated for exploring the Wellington region must have made your holiday even more special. We’re delighted that the high-quality furnishings and overall experience exceeded your expectations. Thank you for your recommendation—we’d love to welcome you back in the future.
