Summary: We really enjoyed our stay at Jenny's home. The location is great with access to the beautiful lagoon walking track available immediately at the rear of the house. Also, the house is close to Waikanae Beach and the Waikanae River Inlet. This beach is one of the best on the Kapiti Coast. We appreciated the prompt and welcoming attitude of Jenny and the fact that our Bordie Collie dog was allowed to stay with us. The house was very clean and tidy and it's a great place to relax and enjoy the lagoon views and the bird life.
