Welcome to Waikanae Beach Motel
Waikanae is the "Garden Centre" of the Kapiti Coast. Away from the suburban sprawl the village-like atmosphere makes it a relaxed destination close to Kapiti attractions.
Waikanae Beach is a popular spot for locals, holidaymakers and tourists
of all ages, with safe swimming, fishing, boating and an idyllic place
for a stroll along the white sands, looking out to Kapiti Island Nature Reserve.
Waikanae River Scientific Estuary Reserve and lagoon are the habitat
for native, introduced and migrant birdlife, which is a must see for the
nature lover visiting the area. Mik (Michael) Peryer has become well
known on the Kapiti Coast for his Kapiti Bird Tours, attracting visitors from all over the world.
With the Waikanae Golf Course next door and cafe/restaurants, children's playgrounds, public tennis
courts, riverside walks, the Waikanae Beach Bowling Club and Waikanae
Beach Tennis Club within a short stroll, the Waikanae Beach Motel is an
ideal place to stay.
Waikanae Beach is also the home of many fine artists who open their doors for visitors to view and purchase their works.
A short drive from the motel to SH1 will take you to the Waikanae
retail area with a variety of shops, banks, cafes and restaurants. Also in this area is the swimming complex, sporting grounds, Nga Manu Nature Reserve,
Waikanae Museum and Hemi Matenga Memorial Park Scenic Reserve, the
