This was my second time staying at Bronwyn's beautifully furnished bach across from the beach. Every morning I woke to the sound of waves and an expansive view of the ocean and Kapiti island. The sunsets are absolutely gorgeous -- you have the best seat on the esplanade -- and best enjoyed with a glass of wine. There's a great restaurant only a 6-minute walk away with live music and delicious food. Exactly the retreat I needed!
