Agree with the positive practical remarks of other reviewers. This is a really lovely, beautifully located located little haven. It was a perfect spot to spend time with both my 80 year father and 4 year old daughter - you can't beat staring out at the view, or paddling on the beach directly in front. For visitors, the Kapiti Coast is highy underrated, and a great area to just potter around and enjoy, especially the food. Very highly recommend.
