Within short walking distance from our home there is beach access, river and nature trail access, a mini supermarket, local raw food coffee shop and takeaway shops. The local area is easily explored by foot or by bike, and we are a short bike ride away from the local weekend market.
Within 10minutes drive are the large supermarkets, shopping mall, doctors and community services such as district library and aquatic centre.
The Kapiti Coast area is suitable for everyone, there are excellent restaurants and boutique shops to explore. A large range of restaurants and local cafes, many with beach views. Excellent playgrounds, and nature spaces for getting the kids exploring.
