About this property
La Casa de la Playa - Waikanae Beach Holiday Home
This bach is in the Olde Beach area of Waikanae, with many amenities close by:
5 minutes walk: Long Beach and Hey Coastie restaurants and bars, Olde Beach French Bakery, Hendrix Cafe & shop, two local stores, Waikanae Boating Club restaurant and bar, playgrounds, petanque court, free Plexipave tennis court, and basketball hoops.
15 minutes walk: Waikanae Golf Club. 10 minutes drive: Nga Manu Nature Reserve is renowned for its birds and bush, including the Kiwi Night Encounter Experience (you go past Waikanae Pool on the way to the Reserve). 15 minutes drive: the top-rated Paraparaumu Beach Golf Club. Trains to Wellington every ½ hour. Local artists’ studios within walking and biking distance (see art trail booklet).
The main bedroom is spacious, with a super-king bed that can be divided into two single beds (upon request to Bachcare).
Through a sliding hallway door is the sunporch (with bunks) and the other two bedrooms (separated by three typically-Plischke style large sliding doors, allowing the whole area to be fully open plan, or divided into three).
The sunporch opens directly onto the outdoor dining area and lawn to the beach. Outdoor dining is enjoyed around a large square table that comfortably seats eight, but there is always room for more.
The open plan kitchen/dining/living area is bright and welcoming with beachy tones. The indoor dining table seats eight, but can accommodate more.
The living and dining areas open out onto the paved courtyard and outdoor dining area, with the large lawn, stretching out to the sand dunes of Waikanae Beach.
La Casa de la Playa is ideal for water lovers, with plenty of room to park the boat on site. The Waikanae Boating Club launching ramp is 150 meters away. There are kayaks and boogie boards available for use. There is a well-stocked bookshelf and games cupboards. Set up your hammock on the two poles in a sheltered spot for a place to chill out away from the action. As this property is unfenced (beach and road), adults should closely supervise young children.
Although the property is pet-friendly, please be aware that pets are not permitted on furniture and beds.
Please note a bond may be charged at certain times of the year. One of our team members will contact you if this is required for your booking.

This place was incredible! Loved being literally on the beach. Having access to kayaks was excellent! House was fully equipped, tidy and comfortable. We will definitely be returning!
We had a lovely summer break at this property. It’s right on the beach, so no roads for the kids to negotiate and lots of toys like kayaks and body boards provided. The house has an authentic bach feel, but with mod cons for the grown ups.
Clean, comfortable and cosy Bach !! Perfect location, especially loved the big lawn and path onto the beach. Swam every chance we got! Thank you so much for sharing your Bach.
La Casa de la Playa is a real gem! A beautifully designed house with stylish decor and everything you would need for a wonderfully relaxing weekend. Views of Kapiti Island are quite something. Communication with property manager was great - timely and efficient. We loved it and would thoroughly recommend.
Plenty of room for all the family. Loved the location right on the beach front with own access. We had vews of the sea and sunset. Everything was there except portacot and highchair would of been handy.Liked that it was all day sun and warm with the heating for some chilly nights. Would definitely go again. Nice touches to the place, outside shower was warm and canoes in the garage. Thanks for letting us stay.
This was a lovely beach front property, hunkered down in the sand dunes, which gave a bit of shelter from offshore breeze. A well set up bach.
Loved our stay.
