About this cottage rental

A private, characterful holiday home overlooking Waimanu lagoon and the mountains beyond. The accommodation comprises a living/dining area downstairs with kitchenette, then a twin bedroom next to the bathroom and laundry. Upstairs there is a queen bedroom and additional living area where there is a futon style sofa bed. For winter months, there is a woodburner and radiators and heaters in the bedrooms and bathroom, wood is provided. Wifi is very fast, the TV has a chromecast. The view is its best feature as you wake up to see ducks and swans gliding over the water - all in all, it's a relaxing and welcoming place to unwind and enjoy the ambience of Waikanae Beach with its scenery, walks and cafes/restaurants.

From the back gate, you can walk along the lagoons to the estuary where there is access to the beach, or inland along the cycle and walking track which borders Waikanae river. The estuary to the south is a wonderful viewing spot for the spectacular and famous Kapiti sunsets. To the north along Tutere Street, you will find a well stocked 4 square, a bar/restaurant - Long Beach, and another restaurant called Coasties with a huge back garden. Waikanae Beach also has a fish and chip shop and a bakery, childrens playgrounds, tennis court and a bowling club. On Saturdays, there is a fabulous local market in Waikanae Park (until midday). It's a safe and relaxing neighbourhood with a gorgeous beach, well worth a visit!

We really enjoyed our stay at Jenny's home. The location is great with access to the beautiful lagoon walking track available immediately at the rear of the house. Also, the house is close to Waikanae Beach and the Waikanae River Inlet. This beach is one of the best on the Kapiti Coast. We appreciated the prompt and welcoming attitude of Jenny and the fact that our Bordie Collie dog was allowed to stay with us. The house was very clean and tidy and it's a great place to relax and enjoy the lagoon views and the bird life.

What a beautifully kept home, ideal for families and couples alike. Very Pet Friendly, I think our dog Lili would like us to move in! The Host has been awesome as a family crisis interrupted our holiday. Thank you Jennifer for your understanding and kindness. The view of the lagoons is absolutely unbeatable, and relaxation happened without us noticing. Thank you for hosting us.
