Fisherman Cottage - Waikanae Beach

Once owned by the family behind the local crab business, this charming bach blends character with comfort, offering the perfect base to relax, entertain, and enjoy the Kapiti Coast.

Step inside and you’ll find a light-filled, welcoming living area. The open-plan lounge and dining space is ideal for gathering together after a day at the beach, with comfortable seating, a TV, and plenty of room for board games or quiet evenings. Large windows let in fresh coastal air, while the sound of the sea creates a calming backdrop.

The kitchen provides everything you need to prepare meals with ease, and French doors open onto a deck, perfect for alfresco dining, morning coffee, or simply sitting and listening to the waves. Outside, the property also features a 5-person spa pool, offering the perfect spot to relax and unwind after a day at the beach.

Fisherman’s Cottage features four flexible bedrooms, two ensuite full bathrooms, and an additional toilet, making it well suited for families or groups. Outside, the quiet street location adds peace of mind for children and pets.

When it’s time to explore, the beach is just minutes away, and a 20-minute walk along the sand takes you to local cafés and bars. Longbeach is known for fantastic pizzas, while Hey Coasties offers a family-friendly garden and a weekend courtesy van. The Waikanae Boat Club, just a five-minute drive, is another popular local spot for dining and socialising.

Whether you’re seeking a peaceful escape or a fun seaside getaway, Fisherman’s Cottage invites you to relax, unwind, and enjoy the very best of Waikanae Beach, including the added luxury of your own private spa pool.

Please note that only small dogs are allowed on the property.
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 2 bathrooms, and a patio, and there's space to spread out with 4 bedrooms. Other standard amenities include a private pool, a washing machine, and a fenced private yard.
