Apr 22, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### A very nice place to spend some time on the Kāpiti Coast Our family of five needed a place to spend some time away from our home while we got some reno work done. We spent three days here and I was very pleased and impressed by the property. Right off the bat, this has to have been one of the cleanest places I've stayed in, of any hotel or holiday home. The pictures are a true representation of what you will experience in person. The owners also provide a lot for guests, from extra towels and blankets to simple things like milk or paper towels. The home is very nicely fitted out and obviously taken care of - it made it very easy to just settle in and relax. Located in a very nice scenic location with easy access via a short drive to the beach or close enough to places such as Paraparaumu if you wanted more options for food/shopping that I felt is was a good option. Very happy with our stay and would easily recommend. ##### Robert B. Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2024
