Perfect for families

The house is perfectly set up with everything you could need, from fans in the bedrooms to an Xbox and dvds to suit many different ages. The kids loved the separate sleep out and a garage was filled with beach gear and sports equipment. The location was an absolute dream, across the road from the beach and just down the road from the playground. We loved it and can’t wait to come back!

Perfect retreat right by the beach

Rachelle was very helpful and responsive, and her home was very clean, well-stocked with everything you need for your stay. The beds were very comfortable, there were heat pumps in every zone, and plenty of DVDs and CDs to keep occupied. The location across from the beach and near walking trails made the stay even better. The lovely enclosed seating area meant that I could relax and read outside when it rained. I will definitely stay again.

Lovely holiday home

My husband and I spent a relaxing four weeks here while visiting family along the Kapiti Coast. The house is well-kept, well-stocked and very comfortable (we especially enjoyed the conservatory).It's also ideally located with easy access to the beach (across the road) and just a short walk to the village. Rachelle herself was a pleasure to deal with, a responsive and warm host who made us feel welcome from the start. We definitely plan to return!

Handy Location

There were three of us, one couple and one single, so the Separate Studio was ideal. Blair Holiday House is close to two very good restaurants, the Motorway, Mitre 10 and other Suppliers, that made our work as Building Contractors easy, having everything we needed in close proximity.

Relaxing break at Waikanae

We enjoyed our stay. It was very relaxing and we had great weather. The beach is gorgeous and there are plenty of trips you can do around the area. Unfortunately, we were both confused as we had stayed at a Blair property next door and thought we had booked there. Luckily I hadn't invited friends to stay as this house only has two bedrooms. I did not enjoy the traffic noise on the road outside this house and for this reason would be unlikely to stay again, but would book Blair' next door. My friend found it difficult to read in main lounge room at night as the lighting was poor and also the main bedroom (main bulb not working). Overall a great stay thxs

Response from VrboOwner on Apr 15, 2023
It can sometimes be confusing as both houses have similar names but I’m glad you enjoy this house and its location as well. Re the lights … the lounge was does have a dimmer switch so it may have been turned down as normally is very bright. The main light in the main bedroom is on a seperate switch which is between the door and the picture frame so must not of been spotted 😀

Lovely mini break in a fabulous place

This was the easiest bach stay I’ve had for ages. Communication was excellent, the house was spotless and perfect for our needs & it is a great location. I really appreciated the beach towels & the lovely linen. Oh and little things like cooking oil & sharp knives in the kitchen. I’ll definitely book again.

Great property great location!

We had a lovely stay here! The property was roomy, comfortable, warm, with everything we could possibly need supplied. The owner was lovely enough to put the portacot up for us before we arrived! Great access to the beach and we loved the thai takeaways from down the road so much we had it twice. Will definitely be returning and have our fingers crossed for better weather next time
