"Immaculate ‘60s collectors dream-bach. We loved the artwork and the space. The spa is a wonderful bonus to view the stars. We were impressed by how clean it was. The heating was great for mid-June."

About this cottage rental

Built in the decade of people landing on the moon, this 1960s holiday house has been enhanced with 21st-century conveniences to create a tranquil base from which to launch your holiday adventures. This 2-bedroom holiday home is located in a quiet cul-de-sac and is ideal for families or small groups wanting to spend time together.

The house enjoys an elevated, sunny position with views west to Kāpiti Island and east to the Waikanae hills. Wake to varied bird-life and unwind watching the sunset. There is a flat lawn for cricket and a large garden for wandering or playing hide and seek.

We enjoyed our stay. Kitchen is very clean and well equipped with cooking equipments. The outdoor spa is also very clean and is a nice spot to relax at the end of the day.

The description correctly captures the quirky retro feel as described in the advertising. The house was spacious and comfortable. It was well fitted out with all equipment and supplies we could need. We especially enjoyed the hot tub out under the stars.
