I was looking for modern, clean, private accommodation suitable for 2 friends with easy access to the beach and town. Leeanne's totally fit the bill. This would also suit 2 couples very well - two bedrooms with their own bathrooms and bright open comfortable shared space both inside and on the deck. The kitchen had everything we needed. Off-street parking. And the views!
I walked the beach every day, sometimes twice. It's just down the path. A leisurely half-hour walk into Paraparaumu Beach shops and restaurants and the Saturday market. Heading north you have about a 15-minute walk to the Waikanae Estuary. 10-minute drive to the train station.
I spent 2 weeks here and would gladly have spent 2 more. It was all easy and relaxing. A lovely spot. Highly recommend.
