Description

Right on the beach, 20 metres from the high water mark just south of Paekakariki. Renovated to highest modern standards including fully equipped modern kitchen, walk-in shower with heated tile floor and heated towel rail in main bathroom, separate toilet downstairs, double glazing throughout, 2 sets of lieback bi-fold doors leading to beach-side lawn and balcony off main bedroom with glass balustrade to give uninterrupted view of Kapiti Island and the sea.
Stunning sea, sunset and Kapiti views and you might be lucky to watch a para-glider land on the beach in front of your holiday home. A totally relaxing experience where if the weather is fine you can go for long beach walks or just sit on the lawn and watch the waves, the seagulls or watch the sun go down. Or if it is wet you can just curl up with a book or look out and see the many moods of the sea. It is a 15 minute beach or bush walk to Paekakariki Village with 3 wonderful cafes, the village grocer which has everything you need. Just like an ‘old fashioned’ grocery store. Train station 15 minutes walk or 5 by car. Leave your car there to visit Wellington. 10 minutes by car to Coastlands Shopping Centre. The start of the Escarpment walking track from Paekakariki to Pukerua is 10 minutes walk away.
And if you don't want to cook Fisherman's Table Restaurant is just 3 minutes walk.

A beautiful place, Ariki View,
Where sunsets are amazing, Penny and Bas are too.
Inner Child is unleashed, As you play in the sand,
Colourful shells sparkle, Such a special land.
A changing kaleidoscope ,Colours of all hues,
It was wonderful to experience,
The inspiring,
Ariki View.

We used it as a base for activities in Wellington city which did not use the property to its full potential as a beach side holiday home. We wanted to be on the train line and near the Paekakariki Escarpment Walk entrance. (In fact the weather was mostly wet and windy during our stay.) But it worked for us.This property is priced justifiably on its location as quite high end but did not have all of what you would expect. No hand towels, no tissues, no face cloths and no milk but I'm sure this latter was just an oversight. The lounge tv is too small for the room and we would recommend it is updated to at least a 54 inch Smart TV. We found a used baby's nappy in the upstairs rubblish bin. Otherwise though, the house was spotless and the many personal touches were intriguing. The queen bed was excellent and as per the photos, the master bedroom has stunning views!

We loved this place... it was awesome being able to see and hear the sea and to access it so easily. This property ticks so many boxes - we would very highly recommend it. Penny and Bas are fantastic hosts too :)
