About this cottage rental
A private, characterful holiday home overlooking Waimanu lagoon and the mountains beyond. The accommodation comprises a living/dining area downstairs with kitchenette, then a twin bedroom next to the bathroom and laundry. Upstairs there is a queen bedroom and additional living area where there is a futon style sofa bed. For winter months, there is a woodburner and radiators and heaters in the bedrooms and bathroom, wood is provided. Wifi is very fast, the TV has a chromecast. The view is its best feature as you wake up to see ducks and swans gliding over the water - all in all, it's a relaxing and welcoming place to unwind and enjoy the ambience of Waikanae Beach with its scenery, walks and cafes/restaurants.
From the back gate, you can walk along the lagoons to the estuary where there is access to the beach, or inland along the cycle and walking track which borders Waikanae river. The estuary to the south is a wonderful viewing spot for the spectacular and famous Kapiti sunsets. To the north along Tutere Street, you will find a well stocked 4 square, a bar/restaurant - Long Beach, and another restaurant called Coasties with a huge back garden. Waikanae Beach also has a fish and chip shop and a bakery, childrens playgrounds, tennis court and a bowling club. On Saturdays, there is a fabulous local market in Waikanae Park (until midday). It's a safe and relaxing neighbourhood with a gorgeous beach, well worth a visit!

This ticks all of the boxes from the wonderful host's communication, location of the bach, it is beautifully warm with a log burner. Linens are always beautifully clean. If you have mobility issues there is a downstairs bedroom - it is ideal.. oh and its private too, with beautiful trees and shrubs ensuring privacy. Our little dog loves it, and feels safe here. Thank you for having us back

A beautifully located cottage, with clean rooms and a well equipped kitchen. The fireplace is also awesome. We’ll definitely be back!

This house was exactly as described on the web site and the location was even better than we had imagined. A quite road with easy access to the beach and a short drive to nearby cafes and mini markets. The highlight was the lagoons which were just outside of the back garden. Being able to walk around the lagoons and enjoy watching the water birds as well as listen to the dawn chorus of the other bird was a real privilege.
