Makara Beach Escape

Come unwind at Makara Beach, where you can enjoy a stroll along the coastline and take in the fresh sea air. The rugged coast offers stunning views across the Cook Strait, with glimpses of the South Island, especially beautiful at sunset! If the weather turns rainy, the local boat shed is a great spot to duck into and enjoy a relaxed game of pool. For those wanting more adventure, tackle the Makara Walkway loop track — a rewarding 3–4 hour walk with spectacular coastal and hilltop views 😉

Hidden gem - best of two worlds.

An historic cottage in a sheltered dell in the country near Makara Beach, fully restored Te whare iti is 10-15 minutes walk from the rugged Makara coast and roughly 35 minutes from the Wellington CBD. The preserved exterior enfolds very clean, warm and comfortable modern amenities. Importantly- you must provide your own transport as there is no public transport to Makara from Karori the nearest suburb, some 9.5 kms away. Makara is true NZ countryside with a windy, narrow road to match!.
