Sandgate - absolute beach front

On the beach, sun loungers, beach towels

About this house rental

Located in Wellington Region, this lovely house for $310 per night is a great option for your next vacation. Sandgate is a fully equipped family home set on the sand dunes of Waikanae Beach with a commanding view from the large living room of Kapiti Island, Marlborough Sounds, and the shoreline from Paraparaumu to Otaki. Sandgate has been in the same family for more than 50 years, and as such it is particularly suitable for families. The unobstructed view of the beach and ocean has been very popular with our previous guests. Sandgate is a pleasant half mile walk along the beach to the cafes and grocery stores. The beach immediately in front of Sandgate is safe for swimming year round.

Another great stay at Sandgate. The house is perfectly located right on the beach front. When we arrived, the house was warm and sparkling clean. It has a great welcoming feel and is immediately relaxing. Communication with both the owner and manager is easy and responsive. We highly recommend a stay at Sandgate.

Sandgate was warm and welcoming the minute we stepped inside. The heaters were on, there was milk in a jug in the fridge for a cuppa, the beds were made with crisp clean sheets and the 180-degree view of the sea and the dunes and Kāpiti Island beckoned. This is a place full of wairua that takes your heart and makes you feel at home and relaxed. You can sit there all day looking at the view or go for a swim (the water is a minute away, through the garden and over the sand dune) or a hīkoi along the beach. There is enough room to entertain friends or family around the refectory table or sitting on the comfy couches looking, yes, at the view, and watching the sunset. Communications with the property manager were quick and easy. We felt looked after. We loved our stay.

Thank you to our host Peter and his property manager Rhonda. Waikanae Beach sure turned on the sunny weather for us the whole time we were there. Sandgate is a great beach property with the most fantastic view of Kapiti Island. As I do when I go on holiday I take half the house with me, next time here I will leave most of it at home as there is plenty of everything you need. The furniture is old but comfortable and is perfect for a beach property. Beds are very comfortable. House was very clean when we arrived, has a very homely feel. Also so grateful that we could holiday with our dog, thank you so much. Will be staying here again in the future........Rose-Ann & Rex

We had a wonderful time at this beach house and hope to return someday. Teens loved easy access to beach and spent all day outside. Fabulous sunsets on the deck. The fenced side yard with table/chairs and BBQ was great and provided shelter when the wind from the beach got too strong. The furnishings were worn, but entirely in keeping with the bach atmosphere and very comfortable. Kitchen was well-equipped, but some maintenance needs to be done on the older appliances which didn't work so well. It should be noted that bedroom 3 is separated from the rest of the house and accessed through a door in the carport. Our 18 yr old liked the privacy, but the separation might concern families with younger children. Overall, we had a wonderful stay and would come back. Friends from the Hutt who dropped by for a visit during the 10 days we spent here all took note of the name/address so they could look into future rentals for their families too. Thank you so much to our hosts for a pleasant and relaxing stay.

Exceptionally beautiful setting, very comfortable beds and everything and more you could want. Highly recommend Sandgate for adult or family stay, We were a group of quite picky friends and it was flawless. Lots of little touches that added to the experience, highly recommend and we will be back.
