Yes it is an older property; but it's tidy and in a good location, handy to the beach and shops. It's in a quiet location, nestled amongst other properties but with a sense of privacy and a nice slightly limited view of the sea and Kapiti Island. You can see the South Island in the distance on a nice day. We'd look to use it some time in the future. ##### Peter Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2023 ### 4/10 Poor #### Ian W. Mar 15, 2025 Liked: Check-in, communication, listing accuracy #### Kapiti Bach Our stay was ok, but found some basics lacking and the property has had some renovation, but there is still a lot to be done to bring it up to scratch. Firstly the building is old and decrepid, with rotting weatherbords evident. The bathroom window ledge has been taped up and painted to hide the rot, with the outside so rotten, it's a wonder the window frame doesn't fall out. The house needs repiling, as you're nearly running from the bedroom to the kitchen. Most doors don't fit well. Venetian blinds old and tatty. The above oven fan is disgusting. No female hygiene container in bathroom. Lounge poorly lit. The 2 tin stools in the kitchen are disgusting.The site should be taken off the market until improved, and guests shouldn't be asked to take their own rubbish away at end of stay. Host was easily contactable, and beautiful view of the beach and Kapiti Island ##### Ian W. Stayed 5 nights in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Debra M.
