A lovely, modern bach in Waitarere Beach. The space was clean, well set up, and an easy walk to the beach, which made for a very relaxing stay.The quiet surroundings made it a perfect spot to unwind, and the overall feel was fresh and easy. We really enjoyed our time here and would happily come back.
Family friendly amenities, great location on quiet, safe road with a short, flat walk to beach and Four Square store, and lovely hosts. Looking forward to our next visit!

About the host
Hosted by lisani598
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.
