Doris was kind enough to meet my wife and I at the corner at 900 PM when we arrived off the train and made us feel very welcome in her home. In the morning she cooked fresh bread and Swiss muesli as we drank coffee and met the whole family. The home is just as on the listing and a great retreat from Wellington for a weekend getaway. Beautiful views of the ocean and the sound of waves crashing on the beach below. Paekakariki is an amazing town to relax and soak up the hippy beach vibe. Highly recommend staying with Doris!
