If you are visiting Kapiti on business or leisure you will love our high quality apartment, elevated with stunning views of the sea, Kapiti Island and the South Island. You would have sole use of the large deck to enjoy Al Fresco dining or simply take in the last of the Kapiti sun, the views and the incredible sunsets. The safe Raumati South beach is across the road and we are walking distance to the “Sunday Cantina” and “Raumati South Social Club”cafe and restaurant. For the more active it is just a short walk to Kapiti's best kept secret, QE2 Park and its many walking and cycling tracks. Short drive to many Kapiti Coast attractions: \-Paraparaumu Beach International Golf Course \-Kapiti Island -a must to visit but bookings essential. \- Southwards Car Museum \- Coastlands Shopping Centre \- Raumati Beach Village Shops \- Paraparaumu Beach Village Shops \- Restaurants \- Aquatic Centre \- Movie Theatres \- Playgrounds Public transport a short distance away Special conditions: We live upstairs with two small dogs. Our drive is rather steep so guests have the option of parking at the bottom of the drive and walking up or drive to the top. If necessary we will be available to assist. It would pay to discuss with Doug or Jan before you arrive. We will be able to give you directions because as per the heading it is a Secret Hideaway.
