First, we should say that we would give the place a 4.5-star rating if we could. With respect to our stay, we spent three nights at Peter's home. The location was great - right next to Waikanae Beach, a great view of Kapiti Island, and not too far from the amenities.
The home is an older one, but it is well-equipped and tidy. Windows are double glazed, making for a comfortable stay in cooler weather. Some things to note:
- The home is actually 2 full bathrooms. In the main house, the toilet is separate from the bath and sink. In the sleepout, which is attached to the garage, has a full bathroom (stand-up shower). The washer & dryer are in this bathroom.
- Bed configuration is: main house - 1 queen bed and 3 singles; sleepout - double bed.
- The driveway is very steep, so if you have a low-lying car it might be easier to park on the road and walk up about 100 metres.
- We all found the beds to be quite soft for our liking.
Overall, we had a comfortable stay. Hard to beat the location, especially on a sunny day.
