About this property
Private beach access. SeaBright Bach Waikanae Beach
Welcome to Seabright Bach - bright, beachy getaway in the heart of Waikanae Beach. Our bach is new to the market and we’re delighted to share it with you! We are Waikanae Beach locals and can vouch for this area being a great place to be.
Everything you need is within walking distance of the bach. Stroll to the café for morning coffee and to Long Beach Bar with its amazing pizzas. The children’s playground is almost few doors up or wander through the dune straight to the sand via private beach access. Olde beach bakery is a walk up the road and has perfect sour dough bread and other sweet treats. If you want to eat in - four square is up the road otherwise a supermarket is a short 5 min drive. For walkers we have Hemi Matenga walkway up the hill and Kapiti Island has a tour operator that takes you on a boat to the island. It’s a must see for amazing bird life including weka, kaka, tui, kōkako, and bellbird.
The bach has two comfy queen bedrooms, sunny open-plan living, sunroom, west-facing deck, BBQ, indoor + outdoor fireplaces, full kitchen, outdoor shower and outdoor toilet. The bath is a spa bath - a favourite for kids.
Bunk room sleepout for 2 is included in your booking (3 extra beds for extra guests in the sleepout are available on request). Seabright bach is a cosy, laid-back spot ideal for families and couples. No parties. Smoke free. Pets are welcome on request.
Look forward to long summer nights outside under the stars with the outdoor fire blazing.

About the host
Hosted by Rob and emma
We live locally and are a family of four. Seabright bach is new to us and we believe we’ve made it just so… a nice peaceful place to stay.
Why they chose this property
Waikanae Beach has walks, estuaries, rivers, beaches (obviously) and Kapiti island is a must-see! Long beach bar is our local favourite and there is also the golf club which has great meals too. We actually live just getting takeaway pizza from long beach and sitting in the backyard at the bach. Fish and chips are great too from our local chip shop.
What makes this property unique
The proximity to the bar, cafe, playground and four square (with delicious Kapiti ice cream) and the fact that the bach is on the beach - sets this property apart. Olde beach is very popular part of Waikanae Beach.
