About this property

The Plimmerton Beach House

The Plimmerton Beach House is a place to unwind relax and let go. Sand sun and fun, beautiful sunsets. Walk from the sea up the sandy beach and onto the large deck, past the BBQ shower spa hammocks and kayaks, under the pagola and outdoor furniture, into the lounge or a quick right into the master bedroom/private lounge, straight on past couches open fire and smart TV to the open plan kitchen, left into the bathroom or first right into the bunk-room or a bit further to the double room, open the fridge whatever you want then walk out the road side doors down 5mins to the restaurants shops and cafes or half way down turn right and catch the train 30 minutes to beautiful and buzzing central Wellington. The train track runs behind the house and street the electric commuter trains are quiet but up to 3 to 4 freight trains run at night which are louder. I live in the Beach House when its not rented with my children and it doesn't disturb us at all and I have only 1 in 50 guests even mention the trains, so just letting you know.

The location on the beach was perfect, loved watching everyone walking their dogs. The cabin is older but very comfortable, plenty of room for family, good location to restaurants and grocery just up the road. Quiet area, it is right by the railroad tracks and there’s several commuter trains that go by all day but they are pretty quiet and hardly noticeable

Awesome stay

Awesome spot easy access to wider wellington City. Awesome beach for small children, and the spa in the rain was unbeatable. The only fault we found are the dated beds and super squeaky bunks we ended up buying air beds

About the host

Hosted by Rob Moffat

Host profile image
Hi this is the best place I've every lived in. Half of the time I live here with my kids. I love swimming running kayaking on the beach and warming up in the spa afterwards.

Why they chose this property

Beautiful beach only 25 mins by train from Wellington with its own village shops and restaurants

What makes this property unique

Its unique in the wellington region as it has direct access onto a permanent sandy beach. no matter what the tide is you always have sand and there are no roads to cross its right at your door step. To my knowledge there is no another place on this site like it.
