About this property

Funky 50's beach house

Come and enjoy the special micro climate of Otaki Beach. Relax on the deck with a view out to a private garden setting or take an easy three minute stroll to the beach. This Funky Fifties beach house has a bamboo bar, wood burner and a wide choice of vinyl records and CDs to listen to, many of which could be your very own favourites. In this modern age a real novelty for some! Close proximity to beach shop, restaurants, markets, outlet shops and urban centre plus the Sunday market opposite New World is well worth a visit. In season you can pick your own herbs from our very own garden. An hours drive from Wellington/Palmerston North. Otaki beach is another one of those well kept secret spots that unless you visit you won't discover for yourself. Don't take our word for it read the amazing feedback left by our previous guests!

Quirky beach bach
For a couple in their 70s/80s it was a journey back. The decor was quirky & familiar. The back verandah was a gem catching all day sun. The perfect place for a glass of wine. Amenities were perfectly adequate & spotlessly clean. I’d hate to have to do the dusting though. Chitra checked in to make sure everything was ok - a good communicator.

A rockabilly beach-house dream
We really enjoyed our stay here in Otaki, close to the beach, great communication from the host and what a treat if you're into 50s - 60s vibe. Truly a lot of love has gone into this place.

Perfect summer break at the beach!
Peaceful, relaxing bach close to the beach. The back covered deck area is a perfect spot to read and even in the rain provided some nice shelter. Great record collection, books and magazines. Friendly host who made the whole experience an enjoyable one.

Ideal for a restful holiday at a wonderful West Coast beach
We loved reading and dozing on the back porch. The beds were gloriously comfortable and there is plenty of interest in the house and the environment. Proximity to the beach, Te Chur coffee & ice-cream outlet and the beach store were extra bonuses.
