The Gatehouse was more gorgeous than we could have imagined from the pictures of this place. This is a perfect little paradise on the coast north of Wellington. We actually stumbled upon this place by an accident and did not regret. Bernadette and Greame were very friendly and we also got a pickup from the train station and a little sightseeing on the way back to the house. The house is very modern, stylish, clean and comfortable. All we needed to know was written in a pamphlet about the place.

It is located next to a nice park and the beach. We brought our 8 month old daughter and the walks around the house was perfect for us, as was the cafe (social club) not far away. There is also a small grocery shop in walking distance from the house.

We would absolutely recommend this place to others going to Paraparaumu.
