Welcome to your own private studio, overlooking the ocean in Raumati South. Sea breeze and seclusion with the most amazing views. The studio is the perfect getaway for couples or singles wanting to relax and unwind. Large glass sliding doors provide indoor-outdoor flow, opening the whole room onto the private deck. Double glazing throughout keeps the studio warm and quiet. The views are awe-inspiring in any weather – clear skies, cloudscapes and stunning sunsets. It’s the perfect spot to watch the winter storms roll in! Enjoy the ocean panorama – from Kapiti Island to the rugged hills of Pukerua Bay, with glimpses of the South Island in between. Minimal city lights make for great star gazing and the moon setting over the ocean is a real treat. You’ll have direct access down the steps to our safe beach. It’s great for swimming in the warm season and perfect for long walks any time of the year! Dine out at one of our great local cafes or restaurants – just 1.5km to Raumati Beach village and under a kilometre to Raumati South village. Or stay in and use the kitchenette. If a classic beachside barbecue is more your thing, just let us know – we’ll make the Webber available for you. If you’re wanting a getaway with more than two people, our neighbouring properties can be booked in any configuration to accommodate up to 12 people within a stones throw of each other. Please feel free to get in touch with us if you have any questions. We look forward to having you here to stay! ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the house: WiFi ### Parking and transport - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Hob - Microwave - Refrigerator ### Bedrooms - Bedroom - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Hair dryer ### Living spaces - Living room ### Entertainment - TV with cable/satellite channels ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoke-free property ### Services and conveniences - Change of bedsheets (on request) - Iron/ironing board ### Things to do - Bicycle parking ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property; consider bringing a portable detector) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - Fire extinguisher ### General - At least 80% lighting from LEDs - Bed sheets changed on request - Bicycle parking - Double-glazed windows - Local artist showcase - Property does not allow children - Recycling - Unit size: 377 square feet - Water-efficient showers ## Similar properties ![Interior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/118000000/117110000/117103800/117103752/ed16aa3f.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Barn Escape by Mountains & Wine South Featherston - Pool - Washing machine - Dryer - Pet-friendly 10 Exceptional 4 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-02-22&endDate=2026-02-23&selected=117103752&PinnedHotelID=117103752&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![On the beach, sun-loungers, beach towels](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/104000000/103550000/103547800/103547712/06268fcc.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Beach Road Bach is a newly renovated guesthouse across the street from the beach Waikanae Beach - Free Wi-Fi - Air-conditioning - Parking available - Microwave 10 Exceptional 2 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-02-22&endDate=2026-02-23&selected=103547712&PinnedHotelID=103547712&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Fridge, microwave, electric kettle, toaster](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/40000000/39030000/39023700/39023641/bccb2044.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Atarau Grove Studio Paraparaumu Central - Kitchen - Air-conditioning - Outdoor space - Parking available 9.2 Wonderful 17 reviews £90 includes taxes & fees 10 Feb - 11 Feb [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-02-10&endDate=2026-02-11&selected=39023641&PinnedHotelID=39023641&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Beach](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/55000000/54250000/54246600/54246529/867ef469.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Waikanae Beach Escape - your perfect escape awaits...
