Tranquility Base has everything for a long or short stay at Waikanae Beach. The funky 60s style has been maintained and given a modern kick so that it feels brand new. There are plenty of areas to relax and move about from the sun trap patio with large couches and beanbags, or the warm double-glazed lounge for a surround-sound movie night, as well as the pool and table tennis in the basement. If you don't want to cook, you can head down to the best bakery in Wellington with a 5 minute walk, or a 15minute walk to great pizza for dinner. Thanks for a great stay.
