Waikanae Beach - Olde Beach Palm Cottage

MariaRating, 5 stars1 month ago

We enjoyed our stay, surrounded by a beautiful garden and at walking distance from the beach, restaurants and bakery. Neighboring a reserve at the back was a bonus, so we had more space to play ball games. It was a great place to rest and relax, indoor or outdoor. Board games available to play when it rained. One thing to note is that the bedroom upstairs, although private, it doesn't have a door to block any noise from downstairs. It is a cute cottage with lots of space for everybody.

An outdoor deck area is presented, featuring wooden seating and a table under a large umbrella. A barbecue grill is positioned nearby, with lush greenery framing the view of the ocean in the background, highlighting the inviting coastal scenery.
