Great place in the country

The house was super clean, very well equipped kitchen/bbq and laundry. Located in a beautiful, quiet rural setting but still 5 min from stores and beach. Alma was very responsive and accommodating. Great stay.

This was a lovely rural location yet close to town. The house itself was even better than in the photos - beautiful, modern, and lots of helpful basic ingredients in the pantry. Alma was easy to communicate with and was very helpful.

Its a beautiful home, when i walk in, it feels like home, so warm and cozy with lovely outdoor area with BBQ. The rooms are beautiful. One of the bedroom has a view to outdoor area which was cool. The layout inside the house was cool. I love the tiles in the bathrooms. The beds so cozy, had such a good sleep. Beautiful views outside seeing, cows, rabbits hopping. Its a beautiful family home.Our perfect weekend! Definitely recommend!!

Should be 10 Stars

The best holiday rental we have ever stayed at. Beautiful quiet rural and native bush private setting. The house is an ex-show home and was immaculate. Equiped with everything you could possibly imagine. We really appreciated the wee treats left for us. Excellent communication with our host. Sorry we couldn’t have stayed longer.

Exceeds Expectations

This brand new luxury lockwood house exceeded our expectations.... From smarthome technology for lights, windows and skylights, to premium furnishing and fittings, all so tastefully decorated...to a modern kitchen and bathrooms, spacious and sunny decking in a quiet, peaceful and totally private location. This was nothing short of a luxurious stay, with shortbread, chocolates and beer provided, netflix and a little library and immaculacy clean, and very friendly hosts...Thank you!

A very nice place to spend some time on the Kāpiti Coast

Our family of five needed a place to spend some time away from our home while we got some reno work done. We spent three days here and I was very pleased and impressed by the property. Right off the bat, this has to have been one of the cleanest places I've stayed in, of any hotel or holiday home. The pictures are a true representation of what you will experience in person. The owners also provide a lot for guests, from extra towels and blankets to simple things like milk or paper towels. The home is very nicely fitted out and obviously taken care of - it made it very easy to just settle in and relax. Located in a very nice scenic location with easy access via a short drive to the beach or close enough to places such as Paraparaumu if you wanted more options for food/shopping that I felt is was a good option. Very happy with our stay and would easily recommend.
