The property
Absolute beachfront. La Casa de la Playa is a beautiful mid-20th century Ernst Plischke-designed house, with some modern upgrades. The bach has been in the family since the early 1960s. This bach is in the Olde Beach area of Waikanae, with many amenities close by: ● 5 minutes walk: Long Beach and Hey Coastie restaurants and bars, Olde Beach French Bakery, Hendrix Cafe & shop, two local stores, Waikanae Boating Club restaurant and bar, playgrounds, pétanque court, free Plexipave tennis court, and basketball hoops. ● 15 minutes walk: Waikanae Golf Club. ● 10 minutes drive: Nga Manu Nature Reserve is renowned for its birds and bush, including the Kiwi Night Encounter Experience (you go past Waikanae Pool on the way to the Reserve). ● 15 minutes drive: the top-rated Paraparaumu Beach Golf Club. ● Trains to Wellington every ½ hour. ● Local artists’ studios within walking and biking distance (see art trail booklet). The main bedroom is spacious, with a super-king bed that can be divided into two single beds (upon request to Bachcare). Through a sliding hallway door is the sunporch (with bunks) and the other two bedrooms (separated by three typically-Plischke style large sliding doors, allowing the whole area to be fully open plan, or divided into three). The sunporch opens directly onto the outdoor dining area and lawn to the beach. Outdoor dining is enjoyed around a large square table that comfortably seats eight, but there is always room for more. The open plan kitchen/dining/living area is bright and welcoming with beachy tones. The indoor dining table seats eight, but can accommodate more. The living and dining areas open out onto the paved courtyard and outdoor dining area, with the large lawn, stretching out to the sand dunes of Waikanae Beach. La Casa de la Playa is ideal for water lovers, with plenty of room to park the boat on site. The Waikanae Boating Club launching ramp is 150 meters away. There are kayaks and boogie boards available for use. There is a well-stocked bookshelf and games cupboards. Set up your hammock on the two poles in a sheltered spot for a place to chill out away from the action. For the more active, enjoy family cricket on the lawn (cricket bat provided), pétanque, Kubb, mini golf (clubs are provided - set up your own course). Waikanae township has galleries, cinema, shops, restaurants and lots more. The Saturday morning market at Waikanae Park offers local produce, great food and coffee as well as an eclectic range of items. Check out the suggestion cards with ideas of what to do in the area. Share your discoveries on the blank cards so others can enjoy it. There are also brochures of local attractions.
As this property is unfenced (beach and road), adults should closely supervise young children.
Although the property is pet-friendly, please be aware that pets are not permitted on furniture and beds.
Please note a bond may be charged at certain times of the year. One of our team members will contact you if this is required for your booking.

“‘To the property owner,’ Great place.”
It was a real privilege to share your place and enjoy all the memories and love that is obviously inherent within those walls… great kitchen facilities, we like to cook! Thanks, super laidback spaces, and location to the beach. Felt like home, so don’t change a thing, priceless!!!!!! Only minor glitch, the code to the lockbox I got didn’t work, but a call to Bachcare resolved it had been changed. It would be good if the information were current.

I had just flown 12 hours, sat outside for an hour while it got sorted. Beautiful place to chill out, so no worries!!!! Thank you.
Thank you so much for your lovely feedback. We’re thrilled to hear you felt at home and enjoyed the kitchen and relaxed vibe of the place. It’s great to know the location worked well for your beach plans, too! We’re sorry about the lockbox code mix-up, especially after a long flight. We appreciate your patience while it was sorted, and will make sure access info is kept up to date. Thanks again for staying. We’d love to welcome you back anytime. Bachcare
