Helen’s open-plan home by the sea is the perfect location to relax and unwind. Enjoy direct access to a long, sandy beach with spectacular views of Kapiti Island, and the Tararua mountains. During the day, walk/cycle along the banks of the Waikanae River, or take a leisurely stroll along the beach towards sunset. Marvel at the incredible night sky and later, drift off to sleep to the soothing sounds of the ocean. In the morning, enjoy a delicious breakfast (continental or full). Do plan to stay at least two nights! Helen’s is a wonderful location for a honeymoon, or just a romantic weekend away, and do let her know if you are celebrating a special occasion. To make a booking, or for more information and suggestions of what to do and see on the Kapiti Coast, please visit her website www.waikanaebeachbandb.co.nz.
