Description of the home we are offering for exchange
Two-storeyed sunny beach house at Raumati Beach on the Kapiti Coast, near Wellington
Spacious, relaxing master bedroom/ sitting area upstairs with panoramic views.
Kitchen, living room, bathroom and bunkroom downstairs.
Bunkroom downstairs is suitable for small children with 2 comfortable bunk beds. House is well equipped and fully furnished.
House has 4 electric heaters for winter warmth
Flat, grassy areas on all sides of the house. You can drive right up to the front door. Trampoline is fun for children.
You can enjoy our seating area at the Esplanade Reserve but access down to the beach is from Arawa Street. The beach is great for walking (flat and wide) and the sunsets are glorious as the sun sets on the horizon for most of the year.
Please look here at our listing on the Bookabach website. https://www.bookabach.co.nz/baches-and-holiday-homes/view/10397. The house is heavily booked during the summer ( Dec-Feb) but with enough notice we can block out time for you.

Our home exchange - places to go and things to do while staying in our home
From our house you can walk north up the beach to Paraparaumu Beach and its shops,cafes, restaurants, skateboard park and playground or you could walk south to the shops at Raumati Beach. It is a short drive to Paraparaumu Beach Golf Club, Coastlands Shopping Mall. A boat trip to Kapiti Island is a must. Nearby are the Te Horo Lavender Farm, Southward Car Museum, Nga Manu Nature Reserve, art galleries.
Wellington, the capital city of New Zealand is only 40 minutes by car and is easily accessed by train. It is wonderful to stay at our house and visit both the Kapiti area and Wellington. There are great walkways and cycleways nearby.
Our home exchange - here are our Preferences and House Rules
Internal stair treads are quite shallow and could be awkward for elderly people and very young children. Property is unfenced. Parties are not permitted. Please leave the house clean and tidy which is how it will be when you arrive!
