'Broadoaks Retreat' - The perfect escape for families or groups

*AUTUMN/WINTER SPECIAL - EARLY CHECK IN AT 1PM & LATE CHECK OUT AT 3PM
Enjoy a longer stay with your family or friends!

Wind up the tree-lined private drive and you arrive at the secluded oasis of Broadoaks Retreat, a place to rest and recharge amongst the beautiful established country gardens and native birdsong. You will feel a million miles away from the hustle and bustle of busy life, yet close to Waikanae township and Kapiti's beautiful beaches.

The home exudes comfort and luxury with an entry foyer that leads to the elegant lounge with a cozy open fireplace, underfloor heating and a 50” 4K Smart TV (our favourite winter room!) The french doors flow out to the expansive west facing deck that is drenched in afternoon sun. A Weber Family BBQ is undercover on the deck for all year round use.

Step up from the lounge to the formal dining area that can seat eight people.

The well appointed and equipped kitchen is an entertainers delight featuring European appliances including a 900cm oven and 6 burner gas hob plus a Nespresso machine.

Gather around the large island bench or relax in the adjacent living area featuring a 65” 4k Smart TV, including Sky and Sky Sport. Fast WiFi is also available. This living area during the winter months is warmed by the wood-burner and toasty underfloor heating. The fabulous kitchen and living area leads directly out to the sunny pool terrace perfect for alfresco dining.

The unique bedroom configuration consists of three separate wings:

- The master suite has a king bed with a stunning fully tiled ensuite that has a double spa bath and rain head shower. There is also a full size walk-in-wardrobe.

- The upstairs wing has 2 bedrooms (1x queen bed and 1x queen bed), full bathroom with shower and a lounge area that separates the bedrooms.

- The downstairs wing comprises of 2 bedrooms with 1x queen bed and 1x super king bed (which can be split into 2x single beds on request) full bathroom with shower.

- The 6th bedroom is single size with a single bed, there is also room for a portacot. This bedroom is adjacent to the master bedroom.

The 4th bathroom is adjacent to the kitchen/living/patio area. There is also a separate fully equipped laundry.

For those that still need to work whilst away there is a desk in the downstairs bedroom area space.

Broadoaks is a place where families and groups can relax, reconnect and have some fun amongst the beautiful tranquil surroundings and stunning country gardens in both summer and winter.

For the more energetic enjoy activities such as tennis (all weather court) swimming (seasonal) or playing lawn games at the Summer House Pavilion lawn - a great spot for a G&T!

Fabulous family time
As a group of eight, with relatives visiting from London, there was plenty of space. The grounds were immaculate with something for everyone and outdoor dining options were a winner! Only 50 minutes from Wellington, loved it.

Rural Paradise
Absolutely loved our stay. Plenty of great spaces to relax. House and grounds are beautiful and very private. Lots of outdoor activities which we all enjoyed including our dog. We had everything we could possibly need and then some! Thanks Angela for sharing your amazing property with us. It is indeed a very special place which we highly recommend.

Beautiful home in a magic gardin
My family of 10 just spent 8 wonderful days at Broadoaks over Christmas. It could not have been more perfect! We played pickleball every day, had fun swimming, and easily hosted Christmas dinner for 18! The house has everything you could possibly need, and the hosts were close by if we needed anything at all. I really cannot recommend this beautiful home enough. We loved it, and will certainly be back!

Weekend to celebrate!
Exactly what we wanted, enough room for the family and friends to stay to help me celebrate a special milestone. Lovely bedrooms for all, excellent bathrooms. We were able to start our evening out of the veranda watching the sun set. Inside we managed to all sit down for dinner and find space in the morning to watch the rugby. Very relaxing setting and easy homestead to be in.

Wonderful large Kapiti house
We had a family gathering for an 80 birthday with a wide range of ages - this house offers something for everyone. It was wonderfully clean and had everything you could need provided. The host was so easy to deal with and the communications were quick and very professional. Highly recommend this host and house. Thanks for a wonderful weekend. SH
