About this house rental

Nestled right on the dunes at Waitarere, this fantastic house offers beautiful views and direct access to the beach—perfect for long walks, sunset strolls, and unwinding.

In summer, make the most of the large section with plenty of great spots to relax—including a covered outdoor dining area. In winter, enjoy the warmth of the cosy woodburner.

The bach is well set up for everyone, with books, games, and magazines for adults, plus toys, swings, and a treehouse to keep the kids entertained.

Sleeping up to six adults, it includes three bedrooms in the main house and a separate sleepout with two bedrooms and its own bathroom, offering a little extra space and privacy.

Great for couples, families, or a weekend away with friends.

We’re also dog-friendly—bring your dog along (just keep them off the furniture). The back section is fully fenced for peace of mind.

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.

The best location even on windy nights, loved to hear the sea's waves crashing. Great to be able to bring our dog, the home had lots of amenities and was warm and cosy. Great communication with the hosts.Would definitely book again.

Awesome getaway with beachfront views, personal access to the beach over sand dunes and excellent options for outdoor living. Classic kiwi bach, with everything we needed. Great having the sleepout for extended family and excellent that our fur baby (dog).could come too.

We very much enjoyed our stay for 5 nights at Ocean Front beach house. It was well equipped with all that we needed and right on the beach front. The days were bright and sunny and the sunsets were beautiful and we enjoyed many walked around the area. Thank you.
