Waikanae House | Harakeke - Award Winning, Beachfront Holiday Home

3 Bedroom House in Waikanae, Waikanae Beach

We love sharing our beach home with guests. Located on the beachfront with direct beach access in northern Waikanae Beach, Harakeke looks over the Waimea Stream Estuary to Kapiti Island.
We have been a top 10 finalist in the Bookabach/VRBO NZ awards twice, and ranked the top stay in NZ in 2024 (see https://www.stuff.co.nz/travel/350220772/2024-bach-year-list-here).
Harakeke is a multi-award winning (NZ Institute of Architects, Master Builders in 2015) modern kiwi bach designed by Geoff Fletcher and built by Haarlem Build to replace our previous bach “Spinifex". Harakeke was awarded #1 holiday home for Bookabach/VRBO.com for 2024, previously a silver award winner in 2016. Harakeke was also featured by Stuff as one of the top 10 holiday homes for 2015 (Dec 15, New Zealand’s best holiday homes provide plenty of wow factor").
Relaxed, carefree indoor/outdoor living is a reality with a private sheltered patio straight off the living room. Harakeke has all the benefits of unobstructed beach front views, and is sunny and very sheltered.
If you can drag yourself away from the view, Harakeke is within easy (5 min) walking distance of restaurants and cafes, a source of provisions and fine wines, golf course, tennis court and interesting parks and reserves. Harakeke has, in-core floor heating, gas water and cooking, and a wood burner for warmth and ambience for those colder winter nights.
