Even more impressive in person than it is on your computer screen. Seriously. It's real. We enjoyed 6 perfect days at this fabulous "bach" on the Kapiti Coast. So much more than a bach. this felt like a home away from home. Comfortable, tastefully decorated, fully equipped - Frances doesn't miss a thing. It really feels like there is a family who uses this place and has outfitted it with everything they need to be comfortable and have fun and when they aren't there, they are willing to share it with you. I left the french doors upstairs open every night. Wonderfully quiet. Fell asleep to the sound of the waves lapping on the beach and woke to bird song. The kitchen is better equipped than mine is at home. Washing machine with a clothesline out back. Easy walk to the beach and then miles of it running both north and south. Stores and cafes about a 10 minute walk either along the road or along the beach. Or use one of the bikes! Trampoline. Kayaks. If it had rained I suppose we would have made use of the many books, magazines, puzzles, board games, or videos. Easy parking. Worked really well for me and my 19 year old son. Huge master upstairs and cozy bedroom with 4 bunks downstairs. And it's all yours! Honestly why would you want to stay in a motel? Frances, thank you so much for making this wonderful place available, We didn't want to leave. Would return in a heartbeat. Highly recommended.
