Perfect homely getaway
Excellent, quiet location. Walking distance from the beach. We found everything we needed and plenty more to make for a fun and comfortable stay. Hosts were very easy to communicate with and plenty of information made for an easy check-in and departure.

Clean, great location, safe and sure. Fell down steps when entering the main bedroom, looking for the light switch. Damage to knee as a result of fall. Recommend warning signage on door. Also, coming from overseas, (early morning arrival), linen and basic items, (i.e. fresh milk & bread), an issue?

Cozy accommodation
My Daughter, Son, Grandson & I were visiting family in Levin, for a few nights, at short notice. This warm, relaxing, welcoming home was perfect for our needs. Close, but not too close, and in a lovely quiet spot. We had a good time bonding together. We would stay here again.

Gorgeous and close to the beach
Great property. Modern, and very tidy. The queen bed was sooo comfy, and the Sky movies was a nice surprise for the kids. The local store has everything you need, ands it’s 25 min drive to Levin. Friendly owners, I recommend this place for a quite getaway.

About the host

Hosted by lisani598

Host profile image
We are a family of 5 who like everyone else lead busy work and personal lives. We live on the Kapiti Coast and love the area and community. The bach for us is a place where we let go of the stresses and pressures of everyday and allow ourselves to reconnect as a family, slow down and breathe. There is nothing like a walk on the beach to clear the head and remind yourself of the importance of life balance.

Why they chose this property

The Beach Retreat is fully insulated so with a log burner which heats the whole house, it promises to provide a warm winter stay unlike many other 'old school' kiwi baches.
Quiet location, clean and tidy with something to entertain everyone.

What makes this property unique

Fully equipped for families with a range of games, toys, books and DVD's for both young and old. Guests often describe The Beach Retreat as a 'Home away from Home'
