Waikanae Waves - Waikanae Beach Holiday Home

Wake up to the sound of Tūī and Kererū serenading you from the surrounding treetops, then head outside onto the spacious deck to enjoy your coffee and watch the world go by. Welcome to Waikanae Waves!

You’ll feel right at home with the retro touches and comfortable furnishings. Enjoying seamless indoor-outdoor flow, revel in the sunshine while the BBQ sizzles away and you and raise a glass to being on holiday.

Put your feet up in the open-plan living space, while you stay connected with your friends and family on the complimentary WiFi, or flick on the TV with Freeview to relax and unwind.

Perfectly set up for a family or group of friends, Waikanae Waves sleeps up to six guests across three bedrooms. A spacious bathroom, washing machine, iron and ironing board complete the set up for an easy-going stay.

Head to Waikanae Beach in just 3 minutes by foot for your morning stroll or dip, or the river mouth and estuary are just 600m away. There is also plenty of room to park your boat, and with launching access on the beach, you’ll be finding your fresh catch in no time.

Make your way to either Tuktuk Waimea or Long Beach Tavern for a beachfront meal, or try out Waikanae Beach Takeaways for some classic Kiwi fish and chips. The local Four Square is also located a three-minute drive away from Waikanae Waves.

Explore all that Kāpiti Coast has to offer, walk the Paekākāriki Escarpment Track, cycle one of the coastal trails, or for the car fanatics, visit the Southward Car Museum.

For a getaway that’s good for the soul, make your way to Waikanae Waves!

All guests should take care when using the external stairs as they are steep and do not have a handrail.

Great place, we wanted somewhere peaceful for a multigenerational get together and it was just what we needed. Good size, great garden, nice views of the lagoon, and well kitted out. If we were asked to make suggestions, then a house info page or pack with the wifi code, rubbish days and cleaning expectations would be helpful. Otherwise great!

Super location. Well setup

A lovely unique location - feel privileged to have time there. Lots of bird song, lovely views over the lagoons. Manicured gardens and local areas. Close to stunning beach. The only downside was communicating w the property manager. The Booka Bach team was excellent especially Caitlin.

Great location and fantastic view of the lagoon!

It’s a great place for a family staycation. Love that you get a perfect view of the lagoon by the lounge and deck area; have easy access to go for a walk around it too; and it’s also just a few minutes walk away from the beach. However, some areas on the property might need some upgrade or replacing such as stained dishes (mostly cups), slightly worn out fly/insect window screens, and doors for the rooms (it was hard to open & close it without making too much noise). It would also be nice to have a mobile fan as it can get a bit warm sometimes when the doors and windows are shut.But overall, good experience and I would still book this place again :)
