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);
During your stay at this apartment building, you're just a quick walk from Raumati Beach. Enjoy features like a water park. The apartment offers free WiFi and a kitchenette.

A first class experience.

From the moment Jan met us and made us welcome we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The property is immaculate, romantic with fabulous views over the sea to the horizon. On our first day we could see the top of the South Island, Te Wai Pounamu and the Kaikouras.....heavenly. Jan and Doug had supplied essentials such as coffee and tea plus breakfast cereals and the pièce de rèsistance Doug's chutney. Thank you.

This was a super relaxing, sunny and peaceful mini stay. Of note is the cleanliness of the accommodation. This can really make or break a stay for us. Being well appointed and clean was a real bonus on top of those beautiful ocean views.

S & J getaway

Jan was amazing. Dougs chutney is gorgeous. Perfect weekend getaway from the norm to relax and forget about work. The only downside is the steep drive but Shane negotiated reversing very well. Well worth the stay, thank you Jan and Doug.

Best Stay Hands Down!!

Despite the rubbish weather, our 6 night stay at Doug & Jan’s was just what we were looking for!! Of all the motels and B&Bs we have stayed at, this would easily top the list!! Looking forward to our next stay, and will hopefully fluke better weather to allow for more of those amazing beach walks at low tide :-)

Coastal getaway

Lovely place to escape the city for a few days. The place is modern, clean, tidy, and had everything we needed. Our hosts were incredibly accommodating, even dropping us off at the station after we checked out! Looking forward to coming back again sometime.

Relax and Relish

Doug and Jan have a wonderfully cosy and relaxing space to unwind and take in breathtaking views of the seascape. We were so impressed with everything in this property and the lovely attention to detail in the quality of linen, complementary treats, comfy bed and futon and homewares was so appreciated, not to mention Doug’s amazing eggplant relish! Thanks for making our stay so relaxing and carefree. Lovely hosts and great communication, would highly recommend.

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.

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!

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. 😃
