The closest to the beach you can stay without getting your feet wet. The Beachsider is a cosy Lockwood holiday home with a warm, sunny atmosphere, and a toasty wood burner for winter. It’s been the site of many legendary family memories and great times with friends. Comfy and homely, it’s the perfect escape for the family on holiday, we even welcome the dog. The indoor open-plan living is great for that holiday vibe, and with sheltered decks on both sides of the house, you can choose your sunny spot to soak up the atmosphere outside. Te Horo beach is dramatic and exciting, at times a large sandy expanse, at others a stormy stony rise. It’s safe for swimming, boating or surfing, or for long walks in either direction. To the south is Peka Peka and beyond, or head northwards to the Otaki River. Located about an hour from Wellington it’s a handy 15-minute drive to either Otaki or Waikanae and Paraparaumu. If you’re here for the weekend, make sure you visit the famous Bus Stop Café an easy 20-minute stroll from The Beachsider down Sims Road. The Beachsider is the perfect escape from city life, you won’t want to leave
