Great location only 50 minutes from Wellington, the house suited the whole family and the dog. Easy walking distance to the beach and the forest area.Would certainly stay again.
Great place, has everything you need. Close to beach and short drive to Kapiti Island adventure as well as TeAroha walking tracks. Well equipped bach and communication from owner was superb
The weather was beautiful, lovely spacious home, loved being able to have our fur babies with us. Great location to the beach.
Would easier visit again.
Loved it. A well loved place that felt lived in. Space for everyone and well equiped. Enough space outdoor for the dog to explore - and not get out. Would stay again
A very well equipped home which suited our family gathering. Hosts Vicky and Jeremy provided a decorated Christmas Tree to add to the festive occasion. The beach and children's playground being nearby was great
Property was very clean great location.
Had everything we needed. Was great to be able to take our dog.
There was an issue with the internet but the owners had it fixed within an hour of us advising them which was absolutely fantastic and well above our expectations.
We stayed here for a wedding across the state Highway at The Milk Station.
It was amazing.
Fire wood was provided and fully stocked which heated the main areas so well.
There was extra bedding, 3 bedrooms, heaps of space in-doors and out-doors, and toys for my 6 month old and my nephew and nieces to visit.
Traveling with a little one can be stressful but staying here took away some of that pressure as they had a portacot, cutlery, toys, a washing machine and all the essentials. It was a home away from home.
Thank you so much Vicky for having us and making our trip from Tauranga a little easier. 💕
Initially, seeing the house online, it seemed to tick all the boxes of being spacious, having an outdoor area, a park nearby and be close to the beach. We were pleasantly surprised and rapt to see that the boxes indeed were right to be ticked. The house had a good, calm feeling about it and it felt like a home away from home. The space and garden area meant everyone had a space that they enjoyed. Thank you for a memorable weekend stay and we will definitely be back. For the cost of a night at a hotel we got a home that provided us with everything we needed. Our host Vicky, was amazing, answering any queries and making sure we did not want for anything.And now that I have found the helmets, we will definitely be riding the bikes, next time. Well worth it.

It met all our needs - clean, tidy, well organised, lots of linen and towels, close to the beach. It felt like home away from home.
Great location for a beach get away, kid friendlyAnd dog friendly house with everything we needed. Loved the comfy beds and spacious sun room. Kids loved the fireplace and space to kick a ball. Lemon tree a bonus!
Perfect for the pets, fully fenced in area, house was priced accordingly for the condition and was more spacious than expected, would definitely stay again when next in the area.
Excellent spot in Otaki. House had everything we needed. Plenty of space. Off road parking for two cars no problem. Fenced yard for dog. Great shower and cozy warm fire.
