Book a Waikanae Cottage

"Our stay here was twofold. One: quality time together and Two: a tryout for the young dogs in a boarding kennel not far away. The last night the dogs stayed with us. The bach was awesome. Very well laid out and complete. If anything, we couldn’t find any ice cube trays so our G&T was a bit make do. For the rest just great. Hear the moreporks at night, swim in the river at Pots Reserve. Best kept secret: Kuku Beach. Don’t go there folks to keep it a secret 😁"

"Beautiful cottage with great hosts. Would definitely stay here again"

"Great location for a night away from the kids or just to chill and relax Great views and great host."

"Good location for beach,park,cafe,bakery,dairy. Probably no need to use your car. Easy for two families. Well appointed,sunny house,well fenced for toddlers. Access has a few stairs but very easy."

"We loved this cottage and it really allowed us to not think of the busy work week of the city. We will be back."

"I was very impressed. I loved the history of the old stables - now converted tastefully into accommodation, and I thoroughly enjoyed the native plant arboretum and nursery where I saw many rare native plants. The hosts were very welcoming and friendly too."

"Nice clean cozy cottage , great location would stay here again"

"Highly recommend this accommodation if you are seeking a private, secluded place to stay but within easy, short travel to the city (any of Wgtn, Lower Hutt or Porirua). The deck area is fantastic - a view of the forest, great couches and the hot tub. We will definitely book again."

"Location is great and cottage is clean and tidy . Plenty of firewood and the beds are super comfy . Will definately be staying again ."

"Lovely original property in a beautiful location. House had an absolutely everything you could ever need to enjoy a relaxing break. Loved it."

"* Great outdoor spaces for entertaining including a huge lawn for outdoor cricket or soccer. The rooms were spacious, with lovely bedding. The kitchen had everything you needed. Great selection of board games. * I loved the Christian sayings and cross in the house that made it special. The only downside was the blinds in the cottage weren’t full length so only went ¾ of the way down and did not cover the ranch sliders cross ways but other than that it was lovely!!"

"This is an exceptional property set in a beautiful rural location with exquisite views over landscaped gardens. It is so peaceful that you feel as though you’re miles from anywhere when you’re actually only 2km (a lovely walk!) from the town boundary. The cottage is incredibly well set up with everything you might need and Shona and Tony are fantastic hosts - friendly and helpful, and on hand if you need anything. We booked the cottage at short notice for a quick retreat after a busy week, and...

"This house is located in a beautiful spot. You just walk through the garden to the beach. It is very clean and comfortable with everything you need. It is a very short walk to cafes, restaurants and a Four Square. We had walks on the beach and we also brought our bikes and explored the well maintained, easy cycle trail at the estuary. Highly recommend"

"We really enjoyed our stay here. Nice modern and tidy place. It had everything we needed. Plus the shower had lots of pressure! Many thanks!"

"Great"

"Great traditional bach dating to 1957. Everything we needed was there. No dishwasher but not really needed. My only gripe I kept banging my head on the low hanging name sign over the middle of the back door."

"Large 1970s house. Tidy and good location to beach, cafes and 4 square shop. Reasonably happy with stay but there some things that need addressing.1) Upstairs Queen bed- the mattress springs gone on the right side and the mattress feels like you are sleeping on a slope. Definitely needs replacing 2) Lack of outdoor chairs on the deck 3) Pool cue sticks in garage has lost their tips and need to be replaced 4) outside furniture (table and chairs could do with a good clean or be replaced 5) BBQ -...

"Being close to a playground and beach was great. Lovely clean and comfortable house with a well stocked kitchen!"

"Lovely outlook onto farm lands. Nice and clean"

"Plenty of room for 10 adults with lots of different spaces to hang out great entertainment with the table tennis, pool, spa and tennis court nicely presented and clean couple of issues were that the dryer was full of wet towels when we arrived, and the upstairs shower is very slow to drain so may need some attention"

"This large property is home away from home, with a well stocked kitchen, a very full linen cupboard and bathrooms with all the lotions and potions you may need. Added to this a fully fenced section for the dog and log fire and this place was perfect. Highly recommended, for the location (a very short walk to the beach) and a wonderful host who was very responsive."

"Dorothy’s villa is a lovely property. Plenty of room for us (3 adults and one dog) and well furnished. Dorothy is very easy to communicate with and lovely in person. We will be back!"

"ALL PERFECT"
