About this house rental

Rejuvenate on the Kapiti coast- just 40 minutes from Wellington- in the peaceful seaside village of Paekākāriki . Relax to the sound of the sea in this family-friendly, furnished beach cottage, an easy 1 minute stroll from Paekākāriki beach.
The house consists of a master bedroom with queen sized bed, second bedroom with 2 single beds, and a full bathroom. Enjoy a fully equipped kitchen with open dining and lounge area, and a heat pump/AC.
Large sunny yard with free off-street parking.
The space
Enjoy this haven away- perfect for couples and families- in the peaceful and artsy seaside village of Paekākāriki.

This house, being over 100 years old, is one of the oldest in Paekākāriki. Glimpses of its history can be seen in the well-loved hardwood floors, Rimu panel walls, and classic beach bach style. It was recently restored and renovated with a fresh kitchen, updated rooms, and clean coat of paint making it cosy and comfortable, while maintaining its historic charm.

A 100 metre (1 minute) stroll leads to Paekākāriki beach, a long and beautiful sandy beach great for swimming and admiring picture perfect Kapiti Island.

From the village centre you can start the Escarpment hiking track which takes you all the way to Pukerua Bay. Village centre hospitality includes a dairy for grocery essentials, pub, deli, bakery, fantastic cafes, and an art gallery. Find scenic hikes and biking trails nearby.

Our cosy beach cottage is wonderful for a weekend or working getaway, with an easy train commute via the Kapiti Metlink train service and Paekākāriki train station. It also makes for a perfect stopover for the Wellington ferry.

The train (with fantastic views!) takes you to Wellington in about 40 minutes and to Paraparaumu in about 10 minutes.
Other things to note
Additional amenities include: shampoo, conditioner, body wash, hand soap, beach towels, boogie board, air conditioning, heat pump, TV with streaming platform, high speed internet, and bedside table lamp with USB port.

Hosted by Paul- born and raised in Paekākāriki and lives nearby. Co-hosted by Rachel- Superhost with 2 years hosting experience.

Furry friends welcome! Bring your pet along for your stay.

This cottage was absolutely wonderful and perfect for our weekend for a sports event in Porirua. The cottage was less rustic and more modern than I had imagined, making it very enjoyable, but still very quaint and cosy. There was no beach view, but the cottage was within walking distance if you can cope with the hill. The village was lively on Saturday and Sunday mornings with lovely locals emjoying the sunshine.

Warm, clean and cosy. Very close to beach and short walk to village.

Lovely clean, didn’t realise shared driveway. Some cars went so fast down the hill. Very short walk to the beach. Great communication with owner. Would definitely stay again. Was great to have wifi and lots of tv channels. Kitchen fitted out well if you needed to cook .
