We spent a wonderful week at Jeff’s place. The location and views are amazing. A 3 minute walk to the beach, with beautiful views of the sea and Kapiti Island from the sunny deck. A couple of restaurants (we went to The Coastie and had a lovely meal in the beautiful garden there) are a 2 minute walk away, another minute takes you to a very well stocked convenience store, and a 5 minute walk in the other direction there is a fish and chip takeaway. You could easily park the car and spend a week in the immediate area, but there is plenty to do locally if you want to explore further afield.
Jeff was a great communicator and kindly let us check in early, which we really appreciated. The beach cottage is well equipped, clean and comfortable. We would love to stay again next time we are in the area.
