About this property

Absolute Beachfront Kiwi Bach

Peace and tranquility, a space to relax and recharge. No bells and whistles here. Absolute beachfront.
Pukerua Bay is a beautiful location only 30 minutes from Wellington CBD. Perfect location for those staying for the week and working in the CBD wanting to be away from the hustle and bustle - there's public transport right up the hill.
Perfect to just get away from it all and have some you time to chill and read a book and take in some beach walks.
A quiet location that has stunning views of Kapiti Island, beautiful beach to walk along and a dairy just up the hill.
Fancy a tramp? Do the escarpment walk on a weekend trip! Spectacular views!
Please note as this is absolute beach front there is no on site parking and only footpath access - it's about a 15metre walk from the road. There is ample parking on the road.
There is NO TV, and for short term stays NO washing machine.

Perfect Bach experience

This bach was perfect for us. Simple but very tasteful and had everything we needed. Kids had so much fun playing in the rock pools just in front. Met some lovely neighbours. Shower had fabulous pressure! Rachael is super lovely. Highly recommended!

Bach by the Beach

A return to the way things used to be is how I describe the wee bach, rustic with history and perfectly formed. The beach access was excellent, and the surrounding area of the bay and Mana was perfect for walks with the dogs, close to water and cafes. The evening spent at the bach with the fire on was a great relaxing touch. We will go back for sure. Jude and Family

Perfect

We loved this place! The kids had a blast splashing in the sea and exploring the rock pools. The water was clear and they found an abundance of sea life. It was super easy being right there on the deck where we could watch them. The house was comfy and cute and had everything we could possibly need, including a fantastic coffee machine. The kids roasted marshmallows in the fire pit and tried out the puzzles, games and boogy boards.Rachael was super helpful and answered any questions we had. We will definitely be coming back! Thank you for a wonderful relaxing stay.

About the host

Hosted by Rachael

Host profile image
New to book a bach and live in the Capital. Our family of 6 have squeezed into this bach for the summer, as soon as school finishes we are out there until February when school starts. We pitch a tent for a couple of the kids and the rest of us live cozily inside. Its such a beautiful sunny spot during the warmer months!
While Wellington is cold during the winter months it's still enjoyable to light the fire and to roast marshmallows.

Why they chose this property

Pukerua Bay is a reserve, so the sea-life is protected. (Please read and respect the signs). The rock pools are awesome to explore and there are even some resident pet eels down under the bridge. It's perfect to switch off and unwind right here.

What makes this property unique

It is absolute beachfront, there is no road between the house and beach, footpath access only. Parking is on the road approximately 150 metres along the beach.
