If you are looking for a home from home you will not find any better in Paraparaumu or on the Kapiti coast. It was so good we stayed for a month on vacation from the UK. The house is situated in a quite area and in walking distance to shops as and restuarants. Access to the beach is a 1 minute walk out of the back garden. The home has everything you will need or want and more for your vacaction. The garden is huge and come with a gas BBQ. Derek and Judy are outstanding hosts, and will do everthing in their power to ensure you have a great stay. I highly recommend this property
