About this property

Stunning, sunny and renovated beach house

Waitarere Wonder is a renovated sunny beach house with beach access directly across the road.

Enjoy all day sun on the huge front deck which is partially covered with an Archgola to provide some shade and shelter. The deck is accessed via stacker doors off the open plan living area and also from the main bedroom.

There is also a new deck at the rear of the property which is very sheltered and sunny and provides a good spot for BBQing. There is also an outdoor fire in the backyard to enjoy on cooler nights, or make the most the last of the sun on the front deck with a glass of wine.

The house has been extensively renovated throughout and has an open plan living, dining and kitchen area. The stunning kitchen and bathroom have everything you need including a dishwasher and Infinity gas hot water. There is also a new laundry area.

An extension at the rear of the property was added late 2023 for the owners to use but guests benefit from the new laundry and new deck area at the back of the property.

Waitarere Wonder is located on Rua Avenue and is walking distance to the local restaurant (Beachside Bar & Restaurant), 4 Square and gift shop. The domain, park, tennis courts and south and north forests are also within walking distance.

There is a liquor store near the north end forest and the bowling club is in the street directly behind the beach house.

Besides enjoying the fabulous beach at Waitarere, the forest areas at the south and north ends of Waitarere are great for mountain biking, walking and running. The south end forest has a kids Fairy forest and Middle Earth - an adventure playground.

Special conditions:
Please take note of minimum nights (contact us for any special requests as we may be able to accommodate).

No smoking and no parties please.

Please note: our dogs are at the property when we stay, so please take note if any animal allergies.

Important: Waitarere Beach is NOT on town water supply. We rely on rainfall to fill our water tanks. Therefore it is imperative to conserve water. Tap water is safe to drink.

Duvets, duvet covers, mattress and pillow protectors and tea towels are provided.

You also either take rubbish with you on departure or buy a Council rubbish bag and put your rubbish in it. Rubbish bags are collected every Monday. Recycling bins are provided and emptied every second Monday.

You must also do a general tidy and do the dishes (including emptying the dishwasher) before you leave.

Chillaxing Weekend
A great spot to sit back and unwind. Easy drive from Wellington but felt like we were a million miles away from our usual busy lives. So close to the beach and everything we needed to feel welcome and comfy. Loved playing games with the kids on the front lawn. Thanx heaps

Great location and nice place.
Nice place over the road from the beach access. However there is a distinct dog odour throughout the property which would put me off booking again.
