Perfect to just get away from it all and have some you time to chill and read a book and take in some beach walks.
A quiet location that has stunning views of Kapiti Island, beautiful beach to walk along and a dairy just up the hill.
Fancy a tramp? Do the escarpment walk on a weekend trip! Spectacular views!

Fantastic property and location.

I don't think that we quite realised when booking that there is no road outside the bach, but just a footpath and then straight onto the beach. This made the property very quiet and very unique. We loved it. There was plenty of parking further along the road and the walk was along a footpath and little bridge to the property. It was securely fenced and gated for pets and children and a nice lawn at the front. The bed was very comfortable and everything was supplied at the property. We stayed for 3 nights in June and loved it, but a summer stay would be amazing. Very highly recommended and we will be back again.

Rachael is the best host- quick and helpful communication.Best views and position- right on the beach. House has everything you need plus more, a Bluetooth speaker, electric tooth brush charger, fully decked out kitchen, a kayak plus access to more if you need. It’s a great bach in a beautiful part of NZ.

Perfect

We loved this place! The kids had a blast splashing in the sea and exploring the rock pools. The water was clear and they found an abundance of sea life. It was super easy being right there on the deck where we could watch them. The house was comfy and cute and had everything we could possibly need, including a fantastic coffee machine. The kids roasted marshmallows in the fire pit and tried out the puzzles, games and boogy boards.Rachael was super helpful and answered any questions we had. We will definitely be coming back! Thank you for a wonderful relaxing stay.

Bach by the Beach

A return to the way things used to be is how I describe the wee bach, rustic with history and perfectly formed. The beach access was excellent, and the surrounding area of the bay and Mana was perfect for walks with the dogs, close to water and cafes. The evening spent at the bach with the fire on was a great relaxing touch. We will go back for sure. Jude and Family
