"We had a lovely stay at this funky kiwi bach in Ōtaki Beach. With shops and food just up the road in Ōtaki and the water just a stone’s throw away it was the perfect spot to chill and enjoy all that the Kāpiti Coast has to offer. We were there for the Matariki on Moana festival which takes place right around the corner at The Hori Gallery so it was super convenient.
