About this property
Laid Back Beach House
Located in Waikawa 1/2 way between Otaki and Levin. A large family home with access to both the river and the sea through the sand dunes or from the end of the street via the Hank Edwards reserve beside the bridge where the Waikawa Stream goes out to sea. It's a perfect family picnic spot, with picnic tables, a basketball hoop, a childrens’ playground and an outdoor shower for after a swim.
The river is great for canoeing, kayaking and swimming.
We offer 4 x double bedrooms, two lounges two bathrooms, outdoor shower and bath, delightful for a soak under the stars.
