What a lovely relaxing bach! This place was to us the perfect little spot to unwind, chill and enjoy song birds and spend time as a fam. It's close to the Waikanae river and forest reserve that makes for a lovely walk and only 5 minutes from the beach, a well stocked Four Square, cafes and parks for the little ones. The area was so quiet and the residents we met while on our walks were friendly and helpful. In the mornings, you will be greeted by birdsong as you sit on the verandah sipping beautiful Wellington coffee. Catherine also provides a great pantry and additional lovely things like beach towels and sun screen. The house is well equipped and we just simply loved it. We will be back! :)
