Ron 
“Lovely old bach in pretty good condition.”
Well-equipped, comfortable, right on beach and near excellent small brew pub with family-friendly bistro next door. Spent time deep-cleaning on day of arrival so we could enjoy place fully and this was acknowledged by Bachcare. Would stay again for sure.

Anna “The bathroom had a gross black line around the edge of the tile, there were still empty beer bottles (one filled with cigarette butts) on the upstairs balcony, there was barely any toilet paper, not enough beds had been made up and we had to source bedding from elsewhere because what we found in the drawers had stains on it and there was a dirty cotton bud on the floor.”
Will not be recommending.
- Anna, March 2023Thank you for your feedback Anna and we are so very sorry that on this occasion we did not deliver to our usual high standard. We will be addressing this with the team. We hope you are able to give us another chance. Bachcare
Andrea “Lovely family bach.”
Location was amazing - right on the beach with access through the dunes. Outdoor fire was cosy, and plenty of wood for fuel. 400m to grab a coffee from the cafe . Great stay
- Andrea, January 2023Susan “The viewing deck above ground floor is a great feature to see the sea.”
A safe yard with outdoor living and access onto the beach. The sleepout was handy to have for some additional beds. The place has a unique style. I would recommend staying there. Constructive feedback to help the owners would be that the place is checked before new people come in. The fridge had 3 items/containers of which 2 the food had started to rot. To unlock the sleep out door took was initially difficult to get into but we got there. The sleepout felt cluttered with items ie basket of shoes, bean bag that beans spilt out of, change table & other things.
- Susan, January 2023Dianne “True kiwi bach suitably quirky and excellently located.”
Beach just a climb over the sand dunes away. However getting down on to the beach is a real scramble due to erosion. Disappointed to find toilet unflushed when we arrived, fireplace full of ash, and we wondered what exactly the steep cleaning charge was for.
- Dianne, August 2022Heather “Awesome little house, only thing is it need curtains on the patio doors through the winter.”
- Heather, August 2022Renesh “Pros Cosy bach, proximity to beach was great Love the fire, kept us warm and cosy.”
Beds very comfortable and we all had a good sleep Cons - Kitchen is small and considering it is major thoroughfare between main entrance and rest of house did make it rather cramped - Bathroom is rather small and cramped and being close to front door meant it was often a lot colder at this end of the house - House was probably not ready to move in at listed 3pm check in time. We got there are 3.45pm and saw a couple still at the house picking up rubbish and finishing the cleanup. We assume they were the cleaners rather than the previous guest
- Renesh, July 2022Thank you for taking the time to provide this feedback and we are so very pleased to hear there were so many positives to your stay. Bachcare
Samantha “This is a great place to stay as a young family, with its fully fenced property, back gate straight out to the beach, and plenty of toys and books to keep little ones entertained.”
The beds and couches were comfy for us adults too, and it was easy to relax on the sunny deck in one of the recliners.
- Samantha, February 2022Rob “Kia ora. A lovely, clean and tidy holiday bach.”
Awesome beach access. Heaps of toys etc for the mokos. Perfect for our whanau holiday. Cheers.
- Rob, February 2022David “Fabulous location at Waikanae Beach.”

- David, December 2021Margaret “Second time staying at this cute amazing Bach, close to the beach and cafes thoroughly enjoyed our stay again.”
Flew the kites and played baseball, great indoor things to do as well.
- Margaret, November 2021Peter “An amazing family beach bach!”
Private beach access, views of the ocean, close to shops and restaurants, cosy and comfortable with everything you need. Highly recommended for couples or families.
- Peter, October 2021Margaret “Absolutely loved your place it was quirky and modern, we loved it so much we are coming back in November, the kites were a great thing for the kids and the outdoor is perfect for those Spring nights.”
The upstairs balcony was great for private sun bathing my teens loved it. The outdoor sleeping is perfect for the kids give us adults some quiet relaxation time, To top it off the huge spa bath was so lovely to end your beachy day. Thank you for the great stay

- Kirsten, February 2021Mathew “Lovely authentic little kiwi beach Bach, outdoor shower after swimming in the sea, great access to beach and shops.”
Our family with young children loved our stay.
- Mathew, January 2021Lesley “Great location and so close to the beach - loved having our own access to and from the beach.”
The Bach is small but has everything you need. The outdoor shower was a great addition and was well used during our stay.
- Lesley, January 2021Kath “Thank you for a great property and generous facilities (specifically the coffee machine, the outdoor fireplace and bbq).”
Walking out the back gate and over the dunes to the beach was such a treat, and the lookout verandah (sunset bar!) was lovely when it was getting hot in the courtyard. We loved our stay and family time and will be back!
- Kath, January 2021Anita “Tutere St is the perfect location for a family with kids.”
Beach, playground and cafe all within 5 minutes walk. Comfy beds with fluffy feather duvets and bedside lamps for reading. Log burner for chilly days and outdoor fire for moonlit nights. Small but charming and plenty of outdoor places to investigate.
- Anita, December 2020Kirsten “Great location and lovely spot for a break.”

The property
Open the bifold doors and let the sunshine in. You’re on holiday and the beach is only steps away. Welcome to The Beach Bach! Enjoying a prime, Waikanae beachfront location, this three-bedroom holiday home is packed with character and charm. Two sun-drenched living spaces are just waiting for you to arrive, put your feet up and launch into holiday mode. A TV room is kept nice and cosy on a mid-year getaway, thanks to a wood-burning fireplace, while a spacious sun-room offers seamless indoor-outdoor flow onto the patio. With plenty of seating, including comfy bean bags and an alfresco dining setting, this outdoor space will be where you spend much of your summer holiday time. Spark up the BBQ and grill your fresh catch of the day, paired with a salad you’ve whipped up in the fully equipped kitchen. Make sure you take time to enjoy the view and catch a few rays on the elevated sun-deck. Look out over the greenery and get lost in the sea views out to Kapiti Island. Later, light the outdoor fireplace and chat long into the evening before laying your head down to rest for tomorrow’s adventures. A queen bed and bunks in the house offer the ideal configuration for a small family, and the additional sleepout is a perfect haven for the teenagers to call their own. A bathroom in the house provides the conveniences for your stay and even has a spa bath to soak in with a cheeky glass of bubbles in hand. Down at the beach, stroll past the Waimanu Lagoon and along to the Waikanae Estuary, or simply set the towels down for a day of sun, sand, and saltwater. You’ll find other picturesque and peaceful spots on a road trip up and down the Kapiti Coast. Why not stop at Queen Elizabeth Park or Te Horo Beach, both only a 15-minute drive away. When you need supplies or your morning Flat White, walk to Long Beach Cafe, Beach Bakery, or the local Four Square. Or, you could travel 10 minutes into Waikanae town where there are a larger supermarket and other shops and eateries. For classic Kiwi holiday right by the sea, you simply must check out The Beach Bach!
