Lovely home by the beach... my husband and I had a great weekend stay. The location is so close to the beach (accessed by a very short walk down the road) with an amazing view from the house. Twenty mins walk along the beach has you to Paraparaumu Beach shops and cafes or in the other direction the same thing at Raumati Beach. It's a quick 3 min drive in the car! The house was great... comfy bed, great shower water pressure and so clean and tidy. Stairs are narrow, but would only be a problem if you couldn't cope well with stairs. It was so peaceful, quiet and serene, we loved it! Definitely hope to return one day, Raumati Beach is a hidden treasure.
