D&J's Coastal Secret- Massive Views
Is there a better apartment on the coast - unlikely!
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.
Extras: Cleaning (Required, NZ$30.00 per stay); Linen (included);

Perfect Kapiti Coast Get-away!
We absolutely loved our stay here - such a great location just a couple of minutes walk to the beach (and its walk-way). Wish we could have stayed longer! Thanks so much to Doug and Jan for being great hosts!

What a lovely property!
First, Doug and Jan were so welcoming, and they made sure I had everything I needed for a comfortable stay. The place is lovely, and I could have spent forever sitting on the deck and looking at the sea. I have to say I think this is the best vacation rental I've stayed at in years!

Beautiful Apartment with Fantastic View!
The apartment is beautifully styled and very comfortable with everything needed for a relaxing stay. Every window has a sea view and the wide deck was great for watching the waves roll in. The beach is only minutes from the property. Jan's welcome goodies were greatly appreciated. We thank Jan and David for the opportunity to enjoy Raumati South.

Amazing stay
Jan and Doug’s place is an absolute delight. It’s perfectly located to strolls down on the beach and walks up to support the local cafes. The apartment has everything you need, it’s really comfortable and has all those little touches that make it feel Ike you are truly on holiday. Thanks for having us stay, we enjoyed meeting you both and the pooch. 😃
