Sunset cottage Paekākāriki - sand, sea and sunsets

SUNSET SPECIAL - During July and August we're offering guests a 5.00pm checkout on Sundays, so you can make the most of your weekend getaway and spend all day at the beach.

This one-bedroom seaside cottage is directly across the road from Paekakariki Beach and is the perfect location for those who enjoy beach walks, swims and surfing.

The Escarpment track (Te Araroa trail), Whareroa Farm, surf club, village cafes and artist workshops are all close by. The star of the show is the beach view and, with a west-facing aspect, you'll have the opportunity for great sun and incredible sunsets.

The cottage is fully self-contained and has dedicated off-street parking. The owner's residence is on the same site, but both are separate and private.
The cottage is air-conditioned and features a kitchenette and a balcony, and there's space to spread out with a separate bedroom. Guests can expect to find free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a coffee maker, and a dining table.

It was a privilege to stay in such a relaxing bach (Paekakariki has a lot of character and charm!) with an impressive view of Kapiti as well as show-stopper sunsets. We swam, walked, visited the market, ate fresh fish, yarned with one or two locals, and enjoyed relaxing together as a family. Our 2-year-old was enraptured with the beach as well as the multitude of dogs and walkers (and we got to watch the surf life saving club doing their drills in the water). The bach has excellent amenities and everything we needed for a comfortable stay and two good nights’ sleep. Thanks to our hosts for sharing their slice of paradise, and for the complementary milk, tea, coffees, etc. We hope to come again!
