Map & Owner's Profile
Year Purchased: 1990
Why the Owner Chose Port Angeles
We purchased our home as a duplex in 1990 and opened up the upstairs to give us all of the bedrooms for us to accommodate more foster children. The downstairs of the second part of the duplex was a little rental for some years, until 3 years ago we decided to make it into a vacation rental because it is in a tranquil area, where you can choose to relax or enjoy the many parks, beaches, rainforest and waterfalls. There is so much to do in the Olympic National Park alone. We are located close to the Port Angeles airport, Victoria BC ferry dock and only 2-3 hours from the big city of Seattle.
The Unique Benefits at this Studio
One can enjoy the peaceful, relaxing, smoke-free environment. Sit out on the deck and watch the chickens make their daily rounds in the back yard. Or on the front porch on a beautiful sunny day and see the majestic mountains, for a long time they have snow on their peaks. Or if you like to bike, hike, fish or hunt, golf or surf, we are close to the Dungeness River, Voice of America; Dungeness Spit, Olympic Game Farm, Lavendar Farms in Sequim, Hurricane Ridge, victorian seaport; Port Townsend, Jamestown Casino and Sol Duc Hot Springs.
Owner's Map of Port Angeles
My name is Jeanette, I was born in a small town called Foxton in New Zealand. I moved to America in 1985. We purchased our home in Port Angeles in April of 1990. After living in Seattle for three years I did not want to raise my daughter in the big city.
We looked for a place that was more like NZ for us and we discovered the Olympic Peninsula! With it's majestic mountains and the Pacific Ocean, how much closer could it feel to my home country. My husband, Scott & I enjoy the relaxing, slow pace of
our area with lots of places to explore. We have been a foster home to hundreds of children in the past 22 years, many beautiful memories are made.
Kiwi West has a collection of memoirs and gifts from home. Sometimes we escape to our little vacation rental and light the fire in the wood stove and enjoy a quiet break from our busy family days. It feels warm and peaceful, just the two of us!

This house was more home to us. My 4yr old twins declared they were here to stay the moment they walked in to the backyard- the massive trampoline, the swingset, the hens, the hammock, the pear-tree laden with pears were enough to keep them occupied (thank God- 'cos that gave us time to relax). Great collection of books, DVDs (loved the one that gave more insight into the local native Indian tales). Janette the owner was very thoughtful and accomodating of our dealyed arrival schedule. The kitchen was well stocked with the littlest knick-knacks (including milk and fresh eggs). I'd highly recoomend the place esp for folks with young kids. Look forward to returning very soon for a longer stay.

We found this place online, and absolutely loved our stay there. It is a very welcoming vacation home, and the owner is very friendly. She has raspberry bushes in the backyard and you can grab some if in season. It is extremely clean and just a very pleasant experience overall.

Even though we were only here for 1 night, it was so great. Your unique decor, and quiet atmosphere made our stay memorable.
Owner response:It is wonderful to meet folks wanting peace and tranquility. We live in such a beautiful area and to be able to be a part of helping people to relax from the city or energizing themselves on the many hikes and trails of the Olympics. Honeymooners, newly engaged, or popping the question, anniversaries, last days alone before families multiply, families and friends getting together. There are may reasons folks venture to Kiwi West. We enjoy meeting you all. Until our next guest.... Jeanette

Thank you for your hospitality! We loved the fresh eggs and other provided groceries. It left more time to explore, which we did plenty of! We visited Hurricane Ridge, Salt Creek Recreation Area, Crescent Beach and Dungeness National Wildlife Refuge. At the end of each day, we came 'home' to this cozy and intimate place with our hearts and spirits lighter. We had a wonderful time and will recommend Kiwi West to all our friends! Thanks again for these wonderful accommodations and we hope to see you again!

Thank you for a very comfortable place to stay while we checked out Port Angeles as a place to retire. We loved the fresh eggs, watching the chickens and your generosity with advise about the city in general. Hiked to Merymere Falls, the discovery trail along the coast and made it up to Hurricane Ridge - all very beautiful. Thanks again. Hope to be back.
