    This was a great place to stay, on the edge of the beach , our host was Debra who did every thing possible to accommodate us. Everything was to hand , especially all the kitchen utensils. We only stayed one night and would have liked to stay...

    This location was great - so handy to the beach and only a short drive to the centre. The accommodation was a good layout and comfortably fit us all in.

Come and enjoy our refurbished and spacious family home. With all day sun and sea views it's the perfect place to unwind. It's warm with great indoor/outdoor living and with two newly installed heat pumps it's perfect for any season! Our house is well spaced and split over two levels. Upstairs has two balconies, both with sliding doors, allowing you to soak up the views over the Kapiti coast or at the rear with a BBQ looking over the wetlands. Upstairs is the main living area with the fully functional kitchen, dining room and lounge (TV with Sky and DVD). There's also the master queen bedroom and bathroom. Downstairs has a large games room (perfect for that odd rainy day) with a TV (Freeview and DVD) and sofa which doubles as the sofa bed. There are the two bedrooms, a twin (1 single, 1 king single) and a queen, a toilet and shower and the mudroom with a washing machine. There is plenty of outdoor space at the rear with access to Waitohu stream, perfect for whitebaiting (small children must be supervised as it's not fenced). We have a kayak and life jackets, ideal for the stream or take it a small walk to the beach! For your convenience all linen and towels are provided.
I'm easily contactable before and throughout your stay!
Otaki is the perfect escape, with its quaint shops and cute cafés and restaurants. Yet it's still only 1 hours drive from Wellington! Perfectly located, one street back from the beach and just a five minute drive from the main shops.
