Our cosy hideaway may be petite in size and suitable for only one or two, but makes up for it with its beachy character and our modern take on kiwi bach vibes. The bedroom (queen bed) + living area flows into a kitchenette perfect for a light breakfast or making a cup of tea or coffee. We do not have an oven or cooking hobs (just a microwave), which means you have the perfect excuse to try out all the good food that Waikanae Beach has to offer! We love giving out our recommendations, so do not hesitate to ask! If you are looking for further accommodation for a bigger group, or friends accompanying you check out Waikanae Beach Escape's big sister over the fence - Waikanae Beach Abode!
House Rules
Although the main rule is to relax and enjoy yourself - there are a few "housekeeping" notes we should point out! 1. We LOVE animals, and know how hard it is to leave home without your fur babies. So if you are like us, and you love bringing your pup away with you on vacation, please keep in mind the following: - Let us know when you are bringing your dog along (there is a fee of $20.00 per night) - Please bring a bowl and bedding for them (and please keep their wee paws off the furniture) - All toilet visits should be outside, please pick up after them! -If any damage or accidents occur during your stay please let us know ASAP - take note that our property is not fenced, so you will need to keep fido on a leash while outside 2. This is an obvious one - but absolutely no smoking and/or illegal drug use inside the bach. 3. Please park your car on the quiet road in front of the bach (and not on the driveway to the right) 4. Please respect the privacy of the guests staying in Waikanae Beach Abode and do not enter that side of the fence 5. We cannot accept bookings of more than 28 nights at a time 6. Finally, please respect and take care of Waikanae Beach Escape so it can carry on creating relaxing and memorable getaways for guests for years to come!
