We had a wonderful weekend away in Paekākāriki, for us it was close to home (Wellington) but felt like we were far away in a whole new place. It proves you don't have to go far at all to experience a get-away. Check-in/Check-out was a breeze, very clear instructions and simple to find. Our absolute must-haves for our weekend away were:A View Comfy Couch(es) to read Good Food This nailed them all! Very clean and tidy, with everything we needed on hand. Not having a tele was so refreshing, and you absolutely don't need one when that view is that stunning. We got to experience the still waters & amazing sunsets, as well as a bit of wind and grumpy surf. Only a 25min walk into the village to get to Finns for dinner, and Beach Road Deli hands down do the best pies that ever roamed this earth! (Creamy Mushroom, 5 Stars)Paraparaumu is less than 15mins away for a drive where there are plenty of activities, shopping and food outlets. If you've got a bike, you're right on the Kapiti Cycle Trail, and very near the Cycle trail along the express way. Prime time. Our fab hosts provided a great book of recommendations and suggestions of activities and info on the local area. We were super lucky to also have a later check out so we could get a coffee and few more chapters in while staring out at the waves, before heading home. Thank you so much for everything, we can't rave enough about our trip and your wonderful bach - very lucky to have found it.

Very cosy and comfy, right there at the beach

Fantastic views, sunny and warm, such a cute little cottage. Comfortable bed and good quality linen. Highly recommend, we will be back.

I'm going to miss the amazing views, beach walks and the sound of the waves. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at the cottage and would highly recommend this. The cottage was clean, modern, and costly. Everything you need for a break away and a relax. The host was super nice too.
