Funky 50's beach house

Come and enjoy the special micro climate of Otaki Beach. Relax on the deck with a view out to a private garden setting or take an easy three minute stroll to the beach. This Funky Fifties beach house has a bamboo bar, wood burner and a wide choice of vinyl records and CDs to listen to, many of which could be your very own favourites. In this modern age a real novelty for some! Close proximity to beach shop, restaurants, markets, outlet shops and urban centre plus the Sunday market opposite New World is well worth a visit. In season you can pick your own herbs from our very own garden. An hours drive from Wellington/Palmerston North. Otaki beach is another one of those well kept secret spots that unless you visit you won't discover for yourself. Don't take our word for it read the amazing feedback left by our previous guests!

We had fun looking at all the quirky memorabilia, much of it sparking memories of our childhood and grandparents' homes, even if it was a bit of sensory overload! House was generally clean, and beach a short walk away.Check-in and out was simple; owner was easily contactable when we initially had a bit of difficulty connecting to the WiFi.

The outside deck is excellent and the back garden very good. The inside of the house is too cluttered with ornaments, decorations, furnishings, etc. and needs pairing down. It looks like an op-shop and smells very musty. The house is a close walk to the beach, river, shop, bus stop, and cafes.
