This is the second time I’m staying here and if im back in the area I’ll stay again. Everything that you need to relax and enjoy after a busy day at work. Close to shops, beach, some restaurants but once you get in you won’t get out. The sunset is one of the best i saw in years!

What a beautiful location and space, with a view of the ocean, beach and Kapiti Island. Very comfortable and hosts are very generous with providing some food/beverage items. Dedicated area for food prep was more than sufficient. Useful binder of information about the unit and area. Easy walk to a small area with some shopping and dining options, as well as a large reserve and the option to talk a long ways along the beach. Hosts were good about communication and tolerated a screw-up on my part. ##### Eric Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller Nov 15, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort, communication ##### Verified traveller Stayed 6 nights in Nov 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Joel Jun 9, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication ##### Joel Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Susan Nov 1, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort, communication #### Felt like home Restful view of the ocean.
