About the host

Hosted by lisani598

Host profile image
We are a family of 5 who like everyone else lead busy work and personal lives. We live on the Kapiti Coast and love the area and community. The bach for us is a place where we let go of the stresses and pressures of everyday and allow ourselves to reconnect as a family, slow down and breathe. There is nothing like a walk on the beach to clear the head and remind yourself of the importance of life balance.

Why they chose this property

The Beach Retreat is fully insulated so with a log burner which heats the whole house, it promises to provide a warm winter stay unlike many other 'old school' kiwi baches.
Quiet location, clean and tidy with something to entertain everyone.

What makes this property unique

Fully equipped for families with a range of games, toys, books and DVD's for both young and old. Guests often describe The Beach Retreat as a 'Home away from Home'
