95A Manly Street, Paraparaumu Beach, Kapiti Coast, Wellington

Throw on your jandals, turn the playlist up, and lean into a lifestyle that doesn’t take itself too seriously.

Set on the seaside of Manly Street in Paraparaumu Beach, this re-modelled 1970s beach bach brings the good vibes in spades. Only a short stroll to the sand, this is the kind of place where barefoot living is encouraged and weekends feel longer than they should.

Step inside the internal-access garage and you’re welcomed into a sunny open-plan kitchen, dining, and living space that feels easy, light, and effortlessly relaxed. The kitchen is modern and functional, while the living area follows the sun all day long — perfect for morning coffees, afternoon lounging, and evenings winding down. The primary bedroom comes complete with its own ensuite, keeping things comfortable and uncomplicated.

Outside, the fully fenced backyard is your own little chill zone — ideal for summer BBQs, post-beach rinses, or just kicking back with friends and good music.

Close to schools, shops, and the main bus route, you’re also just minutes from Paraparaumu Beach’s Saturday markets, great local cafes, seaside walks, and everything that makes this spot such a favourite. Morning swims, market coffee, a wander along the shore, then home to relax — this is coastal living with personality, done right.
