About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Ocean-front beach house

Pretty much as close to the beach as you can get at Waitarere. You can step out from our sliding doors onto a path through the dunes. You can hear the waves at night.

The house is open-plan and kitted out with modern furniture and comfortable beds.

We have several welcoming and relaxing areas outside as well as in., including two outside dining areas (one under cover).

We sleep up to six adults comfortably with three bedrooms in the main house and a separate sleepout with two bedrooms and its own bathroom.

There is a cozy woodburner for winter and lots of books, games and magazines.

For kids there are toys, swings and a fun treehouse.

We are dog friendly - we allow guests to bring a dog and just ask that they stay off the furniture (please contact us if you have more than one dog). Our back section is fenced.

We have our cleaner as a compulsory charge so we can make sure the property is wonderfully clean and tidy for all guests.

You will need to bring your own linen (tea towels, sheets, duvet covers, pillow cases & towels).

There's lots to see and do on the Kapiti coast and Horowhenua: food venues, some wonderful little shops, and outdoor adventures and sightseeing. In Waitarere itself we have a fantastic 4Square that does coffee and pastries and has a great range of groceries.

You'll love the view, the sunsets and the walks on the beach. Come and enjoy.

Sunset hideaway
Wow, what a hidden gem tucked into the sandhills at Waitaere beach. A perfectly private spot for an extened family holiday. Beautifuly clean, great outside and inside spaces for kids and adults alike. We loved watching the sunsets while sitting by the fire and felt very privileged to have our own private path through the sand dunes to the beach. Will recommend to friends.

Perfect Sunset
Property as described. Booking system not very accurate, thought I'd booked at a certain price, only to be landed with extra unexpected charges, to late to cancel as exceeded our budget. Not happy with that. No keys available on arrival, but issue resolved. Otherwise, great location, everything you need. Enjoyed our stay.

Waitarere Beach Batch
Typical older beach batch. Cute and clean. Had all the things one needs. Kitchen well equipped, free WiFi, comfy beds. We could take our two dogs. A quite large area is fenced and dog safe, that was just great. The beach right there on the doorstep. We stayed for 2 weeks and Waitarere is a cool little place. Thank you.

Happy days at the beach.
Great location just a short walk across the dunes to the beach. Shop only 10min walk away. Everything there you might need for a holiday. Perfect for our fur baby as well, plenty of space for a dog.
