This place has everything you need, the beach is right on your doorstep, there's a cafe a couple of mins walk away, and lots to do in the area . A great place for a winter getaway.

Thank you for leaving your review & glad you enjoyed your weekend especially so being the coldest weekend this year!
This property was ideal for us, our two daughters, and two grandsons plus a companion dog. The property was very tidy and we all loved our stay so close to the beach.

Our 2nd time staying at Olde Beach Villa, and we've booked again for next year! Best location just across the road from the beach and a short stroll to restaurants, bars and dairy, and a fantastic house with everything you could want for a proper Kiwi beach holiday.

Many thanks for your kind words. We enjoyed hosting you and look forward to seeing you again next year.
We were a group of five adults in the area for a wedding. The property was perfect for our needs. Great location, spacious and allowed us to relax and catch up.
We had a lovely break, everything we needed, very clean, modern and comfortable. Great views and easy walk to the park, cafe, restaurant, Four Square and the beach!

Thank you for your kind review. Was a pleasure to host your family 😊
We stayed with our 3 grandchildren and found the place was plenty big enough for us plus the close proximity to the beach and the playgrounds were an added bonus. House well presented I recommend this property as an excellent batch for up to 8 people. Judy

Thanks for your review and hope to see you this way again.
Thanks Dorothy, what a lovely place to stay at Waikanae beach.
The whole check in /check out process was pleasant and easy.
You have 2 beach access points across the road.
Nice sea views from the balcony
Everything was very clean and tidy. Good layout with the 2 bathrooms and laundry.
Spacious living area plus the deck.
Good parking as well
2 cafes within walking distant and the 4Square is 2 minutes walk.
Highly recommend if you want a nice place close to the beach and cafes. A+
The house is as advertised with lots of space. We found it a great location near the beach, cafes and bakery and playground. Would stay again. Do be careful if parking up above the house though as there is a steep bank that’s hard to see from in your car!
We had the pleasure in staying in this lovely house with our little dog.
Dorothy the owner was excellent to deal with from my initial enquiry to welcoming us to her lovely house.
The house is very clean and welcoming. Big lounge ,very comfortable couches, lovely dining area with views out to sea.
Kitchen well equipped with all cooking utensils in very good condition.
Spacious bathrooms and comfy beds.
So close to shop and lovely cafe/ restaurants in Waikanae Beach.
Would highly recommend Olde Beach if you are looking for a really nice house in a great location with an excellent host when visiting Kapiti.
Ideally situated for access to the beach.
A very convenient house that’s always beautifully clean.
The nicest hostess who thinks of everything to make your stay enjoyable.
