About this property

Relax in a quiet Garden Retreat

This one bedroom self contained flat is set back off the road in a quiet garden setting. Light and airy with all day sun, it is the perfect place to sit, relax and listen to the birds. The property is 8 minutes from Otaki Beach, and close to shops in the the town and on the highway. With Wellington and Palmerston North each just an hour's drive away it provides a great base to explore the Kapiti Coast, Wellington and the Manawatu.

The whole flat has been recently refurbished, with a kitchen that has everything you may need including a dishwasher and microwave. Comfortable sofa and armchair in the living area mean you can enjot the garden views or, in the evening, relax with a good book or glass of wine. The bedroom has further views on to the garden, with curtains carefully matched. The bathroom has a shower over the bath, and there is a full laundry with washer/drier.

Exceeded our expectations
We had a perfect one night stay in this immaculate, peaceful property. We would love to have stayed longer. The only disadvantage is that it is some distance to the beach, necessitating a short drive in the car to get there. If that doesn’t matter to you, then this place can’t be beat.

Lovely place to stay. Unfortunately didn't get to meet the hosts as we arrived late and left early, but everything was well set up and spotlessly clean. Thank you, we may book again for a longer stay in future!

Little microclimate
Excellent clean quiet accommodation walking distance to State Highway shops & Otaki township. Set back off the street in a lovely garden setting. So great to escape Wellington's inclement weather. Thank you Ann & Adrian for a very comfortable welcoming stay.
