The Beachsider - Te Horo Beach Holiday Home

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
Please note that the bunk beds are only suitable for children to use.As the property has unfenced access to the beach, adults should closely supervise young children while outside to ensure they are safe around water.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.

Fantastic location to relax
Amazing views right across from the sea. We loved this proper kiwi Bach. A great place to walk, read, swim, and very little else. Loved it.

Traditional kiwi bach
Apart from a couple of power cuts, resolved spontaneously. Recommend torches. And the access code for lockbox was incorrect on welcome instructions. Bachcare contacted and were able to give us the correct code. Otherwise, just what we wanted for few days away. No internet, no TV, just beachfront and fabulous sunsets !

The location was stunning. The bach made very loud noises when the wood expanded and contracted which made sleeping difficult. We were provided with 1 towel and 1 flannel for 2 people for 5 nights!!! We were assured this would be rectified but we never saw anymore towels and follow up contact was ignored. There were no bathmats or handtowels either.

Proper bach feel
The property had a cosy feel and was situated ideally. Unfortunately it was not ready at the arranged time - had not even been cleaned from the previous people and the numbers I had confirmed had not been relayed to the property manager. Fortunately she had extra linen on board and my sister helped her get the place ready. I arrived later on. There was no soap for the shower and no dishwashing liquid. The dining room table was unusable and the outside door handles onto the deck kept falling off. Small ant infestation in the kitchen is just a beach thing, we could live with that. We left the place nice feeling it could have been better, its such a nice house, just needs some tlc.

Old style Kiwi batch, which can be cute. This place however is run down. Messy garden, door handles falling off (yes, both main doors). Chimney looks dangerous. The place was musty, very dusty and kitchen stuff sticky. Outdoor light not working. The bed was surprisingly good next to everything else. Sorry to give a negative review. But for the price we paid it was disappointing.
