General overview

The cottage is fresh and funky with a simple kitchen and comfortable bed, air conditioner for warmth in winter and cooling in summer. It is located on the grounds of our home property in a friendly, quiet neighbourhood with an easy 2-minute walk to the beach. Restaurants and shops are 5 minutes by car, or a 15 minute walk. Wellington city is 34 minutes by car, or take the train. The cottage is also let as an Airbnb rental. A recent guest said: "I wish I could give TEN STARS for this location!! Leigh was AMAZING, the place was AMAZING, and the location was unbelievable! Literally 100 metres from the beach. I wish we could've stayed for longer!! Am coming back next year for sure!!"

The space

The kitchen/living area catches the afternoon sun, with sliding doors opening onto a sheltered patio. The single breakfast bar is a perfect place to set up your laptop. (There is high speed Wifi.) The sunny living area leads into the bedroom with a comfortable queen bed, then through a wide sliding door to a spacious ensuite with shower and toilet.

Guest access

Private entrance to fully self-contained guest suite.

Notes

To get to the beach , walk 2 minutes north along Manly Street where you'll find a lane leading directly on to the beach. There is parking provided in front of the cottage. There is a washing machine and dryer available in the garage of the main house that you are welcome to use. We have people nearby who can help with advice and information.

Neighbourhood

We are less than an hour north of Wellington (New Zealand's capital city) by car or train. It is a safe, family friendly neighbourhood. Paraparaumu Beach is a town on the Kapiti Coast, which consists of a string of seaside towns with plenty of cafes, restaurants and is a great location for outdoor activities. It is very easy to visit the famous Kapiti Island, which is wildlife sanctuary. Wellington city contains lots of interesting cultural activities including New Zealand's national museum (called Te Papa). Wellington also has the reputation for its cafe/coffee culture.

Getting to my home

By car you are less than one hour north of Wellington city, or if you are on a road trip you are only a few minutes from the main highway.. There are train and bus service if you have no vehicle. If you're coming by intercity bus or train, you can take a bus from the railway station. The nearest bus stop is a 5 minute walk from the cottage.

Nearest airport

Wellington International Airport is one hour by car. Or can be accessed by train and bus.

Getting around

It's probably best if you have a car. There is a cafe, mini supermarket, liquor store, fish'n'chip/Chinese takeaway and bakery within a 5 minute walk. The local farmers market happens every Saturday morning is a short drive away.
