    Accommodation

    We're offering a beautifully restored vintage caravan with ocean views or a great space to park your own accomodation. Our shared family amenities: bathroom, shower, laundry, kitchen, fire pit are just a few metres away. We're great vegan cooks, so you are too while you're here. Our systems are self-contained and composting so plant based eco products only, please (shampoo, sunscreen, etc.). That keeps our worms alive and happy.

    Waikanae is a small suburb on the Kapiti Coast North of Wellington. We're close to the train, beach and Tararua Forest Park. Great access to local hiking trails: Hemi Matenga, Kapakapanui, Waikanae river track & Mangone bush walk.
    Happy to pickup and drop off guests to these spots, any of the great local cafes, or the train to Wellington.
