Sitting on absolute beachfront, La Casa de la Playa is a beautiful Ernst Plischke designed house on the Kapiti Coast.
With One large bedroom and a large shared sleeping space that is enclosed with a portion door as well as a bunk room in the sunporch, there is plenty of room for the whole family to enjoy a beachside escape in Kiwi holiday style! The open-plan living is bright and welcoming with beachy tones and nautical styling. The lounge opens out onto the paved courtyard and grassy yard stretching out to the sands of Waikanae Beach.
Wake up and stroll out into the garden, where you can conduct the morning surf report with a cup of Nespresso coffee in hand. After a morning dip, the outdoor shower is on hand to rinse off the salt and sand, before frying up some bacon and eggs on the BBQ!
La Casa de la Playa is ideal for water lovers, with plenty of room to park the boat on site, as well as kayaks, boogie boards and a surfboard available for use. If your ideal holiday = nothing but relaxation; the bookshelf is well-stocked, and the golden sands of Waikanae Beach are the perfect place to park a towel and work on your tan!
This home is in the Olde Beach area of Waikanae in walking distance to shops, tennis court, golf course, gallery and cinema, as well as the delicious French bakery.
Whatever your holiday style, life is better (literally) on the beach. Fall in love with this slice of paradise at La Casa de la Playa! The Super King bed in Bedroom 1 can be split into two King Single beds if needed.
Please note that the bunk beds are in the sunporch, which is a common space and not an enclosed separate bedroom.
As the property has unfenced access to the beach, adults should closely supervise young children while outside to ensure they are safe around water.
There are three adult life-jackets and three buoyancy aids available for guest use - please provide life-jackets for young children if needed.
On the front lawn there are two poles with hammock attachments - so bring your hammock along for a lazy read with just the sound of the sea, some shade and protection from the sea breeze.
Please note a bond may be charged at certain times of the year. One of our team members will contact you if this is required for your booking.
Please note that the partition doors that separate the large sleeping area from the main living space are difficult to close and open at times.

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us a positive review! We're thrilled to hear that you enjoyed your stay with us and we hope to have the pleasure of hosting you again in the future. Thanks again for choosing to stay with us!
We had a lovely summer break at this property. It’s right on the beach, so no roads for the kids to negotiate and lots of toys like kayaks and body boards provided. The house has an authentic bach feel, but with mod cons for the grown ups.

La Casa de la Playa is a real gem! A beautifully designed house with stylish decor and everything you would need for a wonderfully relaxing weekend. Views of Kapiti Island are quite something. Communication with property manager was great - timely and efficient. We loved it and would thoroughly recommend.
Clean, comfortable and cosy Bach !! Perfect location, especially loved the big lawn and path onto the beach. Swam every chance we got! Thank you so much for sharing your Bach.
Plenty of room for all the family. Loved the location right on the beach front with own access. We had vews of the sea and sunset. Everything was there except portacot and highchair would of been handy.Liked that it was all day sun and warm with the heating for some chilly nights. Would definitely go again. Nice touches to the place, outside shower was warm and canoes in the garage. Thanks for letting us stay.
This was a lovely beach front property, hunkered down in the sand dunes, which gave a bit of shelter from offshore breeze. A well set up bach.
Loved our stay.
