Fascinating location, nice house
This comfortable family style cottage sits across the street from a huge cliff leading down to the sea. It's a really interesting geology and makes for gorgeous sunsets. The house is well equipped and large enough for a family. Helen was a really friendly host, picking us up on the beach and taking us to visit her friends who were fishing on the shore. We'd happily stay again!

Family get together at Kai Iwi
Great location and views - a short walk down to the beach, a big section and great wood fire, gas hot water, bedding for 8, close to good fish and chips at the Motor Camp and ideal for our family from Australia, Christchurch and Auckland to stay together to attend a family reunion close to Kai Iwi over the weekend

Perfect beach escape
Beautiful view over Kai iwi beach. Big house with 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. Was a fantastic experience for our family to stay whilst reconnecting with whanganui. Has everything you need and great communication from owner. Just remember Kai iwi doesn’t really have any shops (other than small fish and chips etc) but is only a 15min drive away yet it feels a million miles away from Whanganui as it is so beautiful and quiet.

Wedding Weekend in Kai Iwi
Enjoyed our stay. The beach house is a really nice and spacious, warm home with large rooms and a great view of the sea. We had a really busy weekend so we didn’t get a chance to spend much time there but when we did it was lovely. Helen is amazing and provided us with all the information we needed to know ahead of our stay. My daughter left some of her clothes behind and Helen offered to post them back to us.
