Classic 50’s Beach Bach - Handy to Everything

In the heart of Paraparaumu Beach, the ideal location for an escape from busy lives. The beach is so close you can smell the fresh sea air and hear the waves. Stroll down to local cafes for that lazy brunch before hitting the golf course or enjoying the beach.

Excellent location for visiting Kapiti island.House was spacious but very dated and oven didnt work.Read the small print when booking this property as there are extra charges for basics such as sheets and towels and cleaning which is the first time we have come across this having stayed in many propertys across nz.

Great location, clean and comfortable.

Just as advertised this is an older bach, clean and comfortable, in a great location a minutes walk from beach, shops and cafes and yet quiet and private, in an elevated position to catch views of the sea and Kapiti Island, and good afternoon sun, for a very affordable fee. We appreciated the excellent communication from our hosts, thank you.
