Sandcastle

One of our favourite places to stay is the Sandcastle Motel. It is located on the Kapiti coast about an hour drive north of Wellington. The motel itself is really quite fantastical. It looks just like a sandcastle, with towers and turrets, but the rooms are decorated in early salvation army and nothing matches. But we love the location. Just a few steps over the sand dune puts you on a marvelous beach where you can walk for miles. You might see someone on horseback, or someone else walking or you might not.


The sunsets in the evening over Kapiti island are always beautiful. The owners have conveniently placed benches on top of the dunes for watching the ocean and the sunsets.
