Exceptional quality stay with wonderful hosts, a few minutes walk to Paekakariki Village. Everything was supplied - linen, towels, flannels, soap, shampoo, bath salts, breakfast, a range of tea and coffee, fresh fruit, tinned fruit, bread and milk.
We stayed overnight so we could get an early start on the 7am vintage train ride, departing from Paekakariki Station. An easy distance walk away. Jan advised us we could leave our car parked outside the house on offstreet parking rather than at the station, so we knew it would be safe while we were train travelling for the day.
The accommodation was small but very adequate for our needs. Lovingly furnished, the bedroom is mid-sized with a small TV. Bathroom has shower and bath and very roomy. Even has a view of Kapiti Island! Separate toilet with hand basin. Hallway leads to a small reading nook with small fridge and utensils with breakfast supplies. Also has a small reading library. Separate entrance is through the shared laundry. Outside is a deck area with view of Kapiti Island and private beach access.
Everything was very clean. We even had our own Christmas decorations!
Apart from a toaster, no cooking facilities, but Finn's bar and restaurant was only a few mins away (also do takeaways) and Pearching Parrot Cafe also open during the day.
If mobility is an issue, note that there are steps up to the room, as this is a 3-storey property with the garage below and the room on the 1st floor.
Drive on access to the property down a small stepish incline shared with a few other houses. Private off-street parking and plenty of room to turn around.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Jan's warm modern home and would happily recommend and stay again.
