Old school Kiwi bach! 2 minute walk to the beach. Long beach restaurant just up the road, bakery a 2 minute drive away. Steak and cheese pie and ice creams at the 4 square up the road. It’s basic, functional and great value. Off street parking behind a locked gate was a bonus. NB bring your own sheets and towels!

Great short stay in Waikanae Beach

This was a great location to base myself for a couple of days cycling around the Kāpiti coast.There is a fantastic bakery a short walk down the road offering tasty coffee and excellent pastries (savory and sweet).The beach is only a block away and provides a nice open walk with views out to Kāpiti island.The house was easy to access, clean, and comfortable.
