Funky 50's beach house

Come and enjoy the special micro climate of Otaki Beach. Relax on the deck with a view out to a private garden setting or take an easy three minute stroll to the beach. This Funky Fifties beach house has a bamboo bar, wood burner and a wide choice of vinyl records and CDs to listen to, many of which could be your very own favourites. In this modern age a real novelty for some! Close proximity to beach shop, restaurants, markets, outlet shops and urban centre plus the Sunday market opposite New World is well worth a visit. In season you can pick your own herbs from our very own garden. An hours drive from Wellington/Palmerston North. Otaki beach is another one of those well kept secret spots that unless you visit you won't discover for yourself. Don't take our word for it read the amazing feedback left by our previous guests!

Cosy
We enjoyed our stay; The house was clean and tidy. Having a fireplace with plenty of firewood for the cold nights was great. Check in and out details easy to follow. Chitra was great to deal with. Will book again.

A rockabilly beach-house dream
We really enjoyed our stay here in Otaki, close to the beach, great communication from the host and what a treat if you're into 50s - 60s vibe. Truly a lot of love has gone into this place.

Very clean, very cool batch. Bus stop outside was great as we didn't have a vehicle - bus to the train station. Great outdoor area.

Otaki Beach
We enjoyed our short stay at Otaki Beach and found plenty of interest there and in the surrounding areas. Chitra's house had everything we needed. The video collection is a treasure.

Great Stay
Great place to stay and location was perfect. One thing to take note of is there is no TV reception. We didn’t realise until the owner sent the paperwork a couple of days before we came over. Lots of DVDs however. It didn’t bother us at all but might do for someone with children. Other than that nice place, thank you.

Perfect summer break at the beach!
Peaceful, relaxing bach close to the beach. The back covered deck area is a perfect spot to read and even in the rain provided some nice shelter. Great record collection, books and magazines. Friendly host who made the whole experience an enjoyable one.

A NIGHTMARE!!!
This home was very dirty, with cobwebs in many rooms. There were cockroaches and a horrific ant infestation. The owner, the day before our trip, said not to leave food out in the kitchen, as that attracts ants. We did that. I asked her to hire professional cleaners, but clearly no one cleaned it before we arrived. She said she left ant traps in the garden, but that was a lie. My leather purse in the bedroom was swarming with ants inside and outside of it, ruining numerous items. I have been trying to communicate with the owner about this, as I want a refund, but she is rudely ignoring me. We highly recommend NOT staying in this unhygienic, very dirty home filled with cockroaches and ants!!
