The property is surrounded by nature - nestled in a garden with trees, lots of birdlife and views over the lagoon and mountains beyond. Accommodation comprises a twin-bedded room downstairs next to the bathroom and a queen bedroom upstairs which has a doorway curtained off from a mezzanine living area where there is an additional futon sofa bed. The downstairs living area is open plan with a kitchenette and decks front and back - the back overlooks the lagoon, the front deck has a table and chairs. It's a characterful cottage set up for short term holiday lets, the bathroom was updated in 2020 so there is unlimited (almost) hot water. V fast wifi, and a TV with chromecast, there is an additional screen upstairs with an HDMI cable. Parking can be found on the roadside or just inside the driveway. Most guests find it peaceful and a welcome contrast to every day life.
Thank you for your booking! Most dogs are very welcome but please send a request before booking if you can, the section is not securely fenced so that house/garden may not suit all dog owners.
A 5 minute walk along lagoon side to the estuary takes you to the estuary where you a fabulous view of the famous Kapiti sunsets, from there the beach a minute away, and also you can access the beautiful river walk upstream. To the north along Tutere Street, you will find the Waikanae Beach cafe area - with the very popular Long Beach, Coasties, a tennis court, playground and a well stocked 4 Square. For wheelchair users - there is a ramp at the back to the back ranchslider which will make access possible, however please note I do not advertise the house as having disabled access as it's not been designed to standard.
