Private Beachside Studio with Courtyard and Sea view

Everything.

Location was great, easy walk to cafes and beach. Private setting. Hot shower.

TV very temperamental. Long driveway to back out each day onto busy road.

Great place great location

Nice clean and warm close to shops and beach

The driveway was narrow

Close to the beach

Access to the apartment which is higher up behind the owners house,steps up to apartment are somewhat steep and could be dangerous if you tripped.

Convenience of being able to walk to restaurants and beach.

Need security stays on windows to help air place, was a bit musty.

Luckily the landlord was at home as we did not (and still have not) received the information regarding the key.

It was difficult to get in and out of the bed on the side of the window.

convenience, cosiness and clean.

Gas for water heater ran out

Location was superb; bed very comfortable; appreciated the milk in the fridge; had everything we needed

Nothing!

Great location and a perfect choice for a long weekend getaway with our small dog. One block to the beach and easy drives around the local area for some great dining experiences. Great online engagement with the owners for easy access and suggestions ahead of our stay.

Steps to the bach were a little awkward but you quickly got used to the camber.

A comfortable and well-equipped accommodation with everything we needed.

Location, privacy, cleanliness

Loved that it was within walking distance to the beach and the township.

We didn't realise before we arrived that there were no cooking facilities. As we were there for a week we were expecting to be able to cook a couple of meals. That was only a minor thing.

Perfect, private but close to beach location. Enjoyed beach and beachside walks in daylight and dark. Visited Ben’s Buns twice. And was delighted on both occasions!

Would love to. Have stayed longer.

Nähe zum Strand, für die Kapiti-Island-Tour und für diverse Lokale sehr gut. Unsere Gastgeber haben wir nicht angetroffen, außer den Infos zum (problemlosen) Checkin gab es keinen Kontakt. Das Zimmer ist klein, was auch aus der Beschreibung hervorgeht und funktionell eingerichtet, war auch sauber. Dusche einwandfrei. Den Außenbereich haben wir durchaus geschätzt.

Es gibt einen relativ lauten Kühlschrank, der uns nachts gestört hat. Er ist ziemlich kalt eingestellt, weshalb er sehr oft läuft. Wenn man ihn weniger kalt einstellt, gibt er länger Ruhe, dafür schmilzt das Eis im Gefrierfach, dessen Klappe fehlt und dann schwimmt alles innen, kann man nicht machen. Hier sollte unbedingt nachgebessert werden, Es gibt kleine, leise Kühlschränke, gerade für Camper oder Hotelzimmer.

Serenity, peaceful & great location

Location. Close to everything. Great shower. Good vlue for money.

Tired. Windows filthy. Broken electric jug lid.

There was a view of Kapiti Island from the studio which was nice and it was just across the road from the beach. It was quite comfortable and very quiet and a short 15 minute walk from shops.

Being unable to contact the owner to collect the key to get in to the studio on a very wet night was extremely stressful. There was no answer on the phone and no doorbell on the house, luckily her dog alerted her to someone being there outside. (Not everybody has email on their phone, which would probably have made entry via a key box simpler). Most places have some human interaction with hosts. I never saw her again after finally gaining entry to the studio.

Our 3rd stay and delighted to have been returning. Very convenient for beach, walks and Kapiti Island ferry trip.

Everything was great Thank you

A perfect stay once again

Location, location, location!!!!! Fab for beach walks and cafés and restaurants. Really cosey for two. Clean and tidy and really good shower. If yr staying for several days, recommend Laundromat at Coastlands - not far by car.

Honestly? For us there wasn't really anything not to like, except maybe space? But that's on me as the measurements of the room were given.

Location perfect, by the sea , shops nearby

Everything ka pai

Great location

Perhaps a good idea to inform potential guests of stairs

The proximity to all shops bars and restaurants at the beach

The room smelt a little musty

The location is stunning, minutes from the beach and local restaurants. Joy was so kind and helpful! It was spotlessly clean and tidy. Quiet and easy to find!

It was a little cold; however, there was a heat pump and electric blankets which made it much more comfortable. Also, to be fair, it’s the middle of winter.

A perfect little place to stay for the weekend. Really great facilities and so many lovely little touches.

Very cute, with extra attention to small details like cleanser, clothing brush..... Clean and tidy too.

Nope

Perfect! As written on the tin :)

Close to the beach and pet freindly

Tastefully decorations, modern. Fantastic location with a view out to Kapiti Island.

That my visit was only 2 nights

Quaint and welcoming little studio

Was a great location, comfortable and a beautiful room. Quiet and private. Would recommend to anyone

Great location, bijou boutique studio with everything you need. Clean and comfortable with a great private outdoor space.

Location was great

Beautiful studio. Had everything we needed for a relaxing getaway

Room was great! A little smaller than anticipated but perfect for a few days stay for 2. Easy access to the area | beach etc Comfortable

No breakfast items provided - it is a B&B - Only a few plates | cutlery etc and only microwave for heating food no cooking equipment. Instruction was to clean the room and ensure all dishes were cleaned! Felt it was overpriced for what we received sorry Joy

Great location and lovely private quiet space.

Nothing.

Kind helpful owner, good location, and very comfortable and compact.

Limited space at side of bed, making it a bit difficult for older bones to manage.

Loved the location, close to the beach for walks. Comfortable bed, excellent shower. Everything we needed and more. Ooh, and the treats.

our 2nd time staying here, lovely,comfortable,quiet and handy to everything. Lacks nothing

n/a

Everthing.

Nothing.

All

Very handy.

Great location for the beach and walks in the area.

Lovely quaint studio. Clean. Great location close to the ocean front area. Close to a supermarket (5mins drive). Quiet area.

A nice little spot to stay

The location was perfect. We had ample clean towels and toiletries. Having a table outside was a wee bonus.

On arrival we were instructed to retrieve the key from a locked box. It was dark and we had trouble seeing a key in the box. It turned out that the door was unlocked and the key was inside. It was welcoming to have the lights and heat on but communication fell down there. Communication was also an issue when the gas bottles for the hot water ran out. It took over 24 hours, 2 phone calls with messages left and a text to get that sorted. That's a long time for two people to wait for a hot shower and really not good enough. We didn't get any explanation as to why there was a delay.

Beautiful property comfortable bed and wonderful facilities. Lovely bathroom, thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Thank you very much- also fantastic communication.

The studio worked very well for us. It was true to the photographs. The location was handy to the beach and restaurants. We enjoyed the view of the sea from the window, hearing the birds, and the private outdoor area. We were provided with timely information about the door code, restaurants, activities etc.

Clean, Good standard and location were very good

Cramped....Could only access bed from one side....Had a 'musty' damp ? smell from when we arrived. Steps to access unit were difficult (slippery in rain) as we are in our 70's and it rained heavily while we were there.

We liked being close to the shops and the beach. We also liked the privacy of the studio.

Couldn’t fault this studio

Location and atmosphere

Zero

The studio was clean and there was sufficient towels etc.

There is no outside lighting when coming back at night. The steps up to the studio unit are uneven and difficult to negotiate in the dark. It was not suitable for me as I use crutches. Nowhere on the listing was the access mentioned.

Beautiful private little spot near the vast beaches, stunning ocean and the gorgeous centre of Paraparaumu. Unit was private, warm, comfortable, clean and I loved every moment being there! Can’t wait to return!

Perfect little spot. Nice and cozy

Great location and lovely host!

Nothing particular

Privacy. Self contained. Comfortable. Great location near beach cafes. Perked plunger coffee included, Neflex TV on tap. So all we needed in fact. Thanks.

Slightly tricky driveway to back out of, with out a backing camera. That could just be me.

Close to amenities Gorgeous private deck Great parking Everything provided

Nothing

So nicely presented and spotless. Great being set off the road with minimal traffic noise and away from the glare of street lightiing.

excellent presentation

nil

Lovely location. The studio had everything you needed and more. It was a pleasant and comfortable stay.

A well-appointed little unit, reasonably comfortable but we did find it much too small.

We found the unit much too small; the fan in the bathroom was connected to the bathroom light and it was very loud; there was no wardrobe in the unit.

The location, privacy of both the unit and its outdoor area, and it was completely pet friendly and safe.

Nothing.

Studio's decor was modern and very clean. Bed and pillows were comfortable, as was the seating. There were alot of extra items supplied (everything you may have needed was there), air-conditioning was available, location was handy to cafes, shops, beach, etc. The shower's pressure was amazing and the fact we were welcome to take our little dog was awesome.

There was nothing we didn't like.

Location, studio layout, and decor . Very friendly and accommodating host.

Nothing to dislike here.

The Location was perfect for us - near beach for walking/running/enjoying the beautiful Paraparaumu beach environment plus all the action of boats launching & coming back in. Great for our cycle trips while staying. Loved easy walk to beach shops & cafes.

NO complaints. We just thoroughly enjoyed our stay in the delightful studio - we had everything we needed.

The studio had everything you needed with also that little extra touch. A lovely comfortable and relaxing place to stay in a perfect location.

Nothing.

Cozy Stand-alone studio was quiet, comfy, and close to the beach, shops, cafes, and eateries. Great location for a quiet weekend get-away! We enjoyed our time there!

everything.Couldn't have been happier.Lovely wee unit with all the comforts of home. Toiletries coffee, tea suagr etc in copious amounts. Lovely location.Ocean view as promised. Would defintely return

Nothing to dislike

Separate Bedroom ,Wifi, and no barking dog that kept us awake

This unit was totally unexpected. It was a pleasure to stay at this property, felt very upmarket, but relaxing and peaceful.
