Bathed in summer sunshine, enjoy a glass of wine on your own private deck and feel free to pick the superb lemons for your water, G&T’s or cocktails.

Adventure awaits, we are located opposite the Ferry departure zone to our world class bird sanctuary and native bush walks on Kapiti Island. There are also many other fabulous walks close by, the jewel being the fabulous Kapiti Escarpment Walk, native bush walks, cycling tracks, the world renowned Southwards Car Museum and of course our magnificent Paraparaumu Golf Club is just a stroll around the corner.

Foodies can discover abundant local produce by visiting many producers open for visitors, like Tuatara Brewery, Waikanae Crab, Kapiti cheese, Limencello, olive groves, if you’re here on a Saturday morning, wander down to our farmers market for great breakfast treats, fresh produce, honey, eggs, fish, gourmet meats, artisan bakers, pickles, jams, preserves, crafts and music.

Enjoy a 5 minute stroll along Marine parade to get fish & chips for dinner at the beach, stop for a drink or cocktail or sample our many restaurants, bars, cafes and eateries catering for all tastes including italian, vegan, Indian, Thai, Roasts, Turkish, sushi, pizza, fish & chips.

Completely independent from our home, with designated off street guest parking, you are able to self check-in anytime after 3pm (potentially earlier by prior arrangement only).

    This studio was just lovely! I stayed 3 nights and would love to return. It’s right by the beach and easy to get to the shops. If you’re going to Kapiti Island, the boat there leaves from close by. Even the bed was super comfortable. And the host is very responsive and helpful if you have any questions, but not at all intrusive.

    Lots of nice features and thoughtful touches, but truthfully a very small area lacking in some basic necessities like a suitable surface to eat from. Access to the unit via a very steep staircase so not suitable for anyone with mobility issues.

    I could not be happier with my month staying at Joy’s unit/bach. Having a private patio with sun and shade and a lemon tree, is a memory I’ll treasure once back in the UK!The bed was really good, kitchen facilities well thought out, and the shower room perfect. Joy was to hand if I needed anything, and my little home was serviced weekly.

    we stayed here for 4 nights and enjoyed all the little welcoming touches. The property was very clean and comfortable with privacy and off street parking. Handy to the township and the beach.

    We loved our holiday at the Beachside studio. . It had privacy and a nice view, close to restaurants and a walk away from the beach. The shower was absolutely amazing with the water pressure, great bed and bedding, cute little outdoor area and we kept warm with the heatpump. We had everything we needed and Joy responded quickly if we had any questions or queries. Loved the small touches like makeup remover in the bathroom, wipes, milk for coffee, beach towels, chromecast for easy streaming and recommendations for restaurants. 10/10 would definitely stay again. ?

    This studio was perfect for me and my spoodle whilst we were on Granny duties in Paraparaumu. Very comfortable and great shower. Lots of little extra touches too like make up removal items, actual shampoo and conditioner and bliss balls. Joy is a fantastic host even helping me with the internet. I really appreciated the heat pump and lighting on having driven in the dark and pouring rain. Will definitely stay again.
