Old school Kiwi bach! 2 minute walk to the beach. Long beach restaurant just up the road, bakery a 2 minute drive away. Steak and cheese pie and ice creams at the 4 square up the road. It’s basic, functional and great value. Off street parking behind a locked gate was a bonus. NB bring your own sheets and towels!

Great location. Excellent communication with host and check in/out procedure. Weather was not great and the heat pump / ac was not good at getting the house warm. No wifi! Something I should have checked beforehand and is a game changer if visiting from overseas...which we were.All in all a good experience and would book again if coming back...

Great short stay in Waikanae Beach

This was a great location to base myself for a couple of days cycling around the Kāpiti coast.There is a fantastic bakery a short walk down the road offering tasty coffee and excellent pastries (savory and sweet).The beach is only a block away and provides a nice open walk with views out to Kāpiti island.The house was easy to access, clean, and comfortable.

I don't like to be critical but waiting 2hrs after check in time with no lockbox number and having to send repeated messages and make repeated calls to bookabach was not how we wanted to start our wee break. Proximity to the beach was great. Had to use our towels to clean the shower as the shower squeegie was mouldy. Kitchen draws could do with a good clean. No can opener....its the little things.

3 adults, 1 infant

We found the property to be exactly what we needed. Enough room in the lounge for our 1yo to move around comfortably, a private room upstairs with bunk beds, and a warm main bedroom off the lounge. Stairs to upstairs is a tight fit but not an issue. The option of extra bedding with a sofa bed in the lounge, is good to know when we book in the future.We loved our stay, close to the beach and a very nice quiet area.
