About this property

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!

We had a lovely stay at this funky kiwi bach in Ōtaki Beach. With shops and food just up the road in Ōtaki and the water just a stone’s throw away it was the perfect spot to chill and enjoy all that the Kāpiti Coast has to offer. We were there for the Matariki on Moana festival which takes place right around the corner at The Hori Gallery so it was super convenient. Chitra’s a super cool host and was very clear with all the coms and welcoming as! 100% would stay here again!

Thank you Chitra for another comfortable stay in the beach house. I left 20.00 on the bench for washing.

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.

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.

The back deck and garden were fabulous to sit and relax, the bach had lots of interesting books and records to enjoy and the beach and estuary were a short walk away. I highly recommend this bach for an easy get-away

The outside deck is excellent and the back garden very good. The inside of the house is too cluttered with ornaments, decorations, furnishings, etc. and needs pairing down. It looks like an op-shop and smells very musty. The house is a close walk to the beach, river, shop, bus stop, and cafes.

Quirky beach bach

For a couple in their 70s/80s it was a journey back. The decor was quirky & familiar. The back verandah was a gem catching all day sun. The perfect place for a glass of wine. Amenities were perfectly adequate & spotlessly clean. I’d hate to have to do the dusting though. Chitra checked in to make sure everything was ok - a good communicator.

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.

Such a pleasant host!

We loved how clean the cottage was. There was a problem with a window and it was fixed immediately, which was awesome! My partner loved the 'kiwi feel' however, I felt it was cluttered unnecessarily with too much furnture. We're average sized people, and used to a bigger bed, so we found the "double " beds too small. Also, we went home again, to get our own BBQ, as the house is open plan, with no extractor fan, and the food smell the first night went through the house. The BBQ there, is really only a small metal bowl with a wire grill, and needs charcoal, which we didn't find. We were there a week, and it would have been good to not have to dispose of our rubbish ourselves. However, it was unusually cold, and the fire place was awesome and plenty of wood was supplied. The shower is good too. The outside area is great! A large back yard and big deck. The house is a 5 minute walk from the ocean beach, which was great! The owner is lovely and easy to work with. Thank you!
