This Bed And Breakfast is located right on the beach in the lovely Pukerua Bay Village, with beautiful views of Kapiti Island. If you want to take a break from the city rush or just want to relax and enjoy a break, this is the place for you. Go for a walk on the beach or enjoy the rock pools. Grab the kayaks and go for a paddle and get close to the Stingrays playing in the late afternoon sun, only meters away from the rocky beach. We are located just off SH1, 30 minutes drive to Wellington City and Ferry terminal. Only a 15 minute walk to the train station, if you prefer to go shopping, go to Westpac Stadium or the ferry and not get caught up in the traffic. If you want to go walking on one of the 2 trails that start in Pukerua Bay arrange with us for a picnic basket

Originally I am from South Africa. Our dream to live close to the sea became a reality a few years ago. Because we are so close to the sea and enjoying watching the waves and boats coming and going we decided that we would like to share it with other people as well. I am an artist, doing silver and gold smith jewelry, pottery and paintings in my free time. I am selling to galleries across New Zealand.

Pukerua Bay is a quiet village with a great view over Kapiti Island. This is also the birthplace of Peter Jackson world renowned filmmaker. Pukerua Bay is a small sea-side community at the southern end of the Kapiti Coast, New Zealand. In local government terms it is the northernmost suburb of Porirua City, 12 km north of the Porirua City Centre on State Highway 1 (SH1), and 30 km north of central Wellington. The majority of Pukerua Bay is situated in a saddle between hills, about 60-90m above sea level, offering sea views (and views of Kapiti Island in the north) from most houses. The coast around Pukerua Bay is fairly steep, with only a few houses nestled in a row behind the two sandy beach areas. In Maori, the words "puke rua" literally mean "two hills" but it is not clear which hills the name refers to. Interesting hiking trails starts right in the village. Enjoy a 4-5 hour hike along the beach (Waraka Walkway) or along the new Paekakariki Escarpment Track (3-5 hours) with breathtaking views. Also called "Stairway to Heaven"Train available at end of both tracks to return back.
