to get started.

Walk to the beach. Walk to town and restaurants ( recommend Surfers Mistress for dinner). Hosts were very accommodating.

Milton, United States of America

When we arrived we were greeted by a friendly host.. my husband checked us in.. I could not get into any carparks because they were all too slim and most people had parked over the lines. I managed in the end by pulling in the side mirrors

Tim, New Zealand

They had discovery and discovery turbo channels and clear reception. The heat pump made it comfortable all night. I travel alone a lot and these two things can make all the difference. The Wifi was excellent too!

Daniel, New Zealand

Bed was super comfy. Best sleep I've had in a long time.

Shyanne, New Zealand

This place is comfortable and had everything we needed. It’s location is great and the staff too.

Deborah, New Zealand

Ken, the manager of the place, was extremely friendly--our room was ready for us when we arrived in the pouring rain. We were able to park right by the room and not get wet getting in. Beds were comfortable, room was warm, the little patio was an extra bonus. Location is phenomenal--close to the beach, restaurants. Truly a pleasure to stay there.

Aleksandra, United States of America

Great location close to beach. Staff were very helpful and friendly. Rooms were clean and tidy.

Very friendly front of house staff, our room was comfortable and spacious with good amenities. Unfortunately there was a rowdy bunch of guest that made a lot of noise above us and next door. The wall are pretty thin. Once everyone settled for the night, we had a good sleep.

Nice location only a minute or two from the beach. Perfect place to stay if you're doing the Kapiti Island tours. If not, still worth seeing the tractors pulling the boats out to shore.
