A comfortable homestay retreat in the midst of a vibrant region. We look forward to nurturing your creativity and sense of adventure.  We are music lovers and enthusiastic amateur players. Our musical paths have led us to be heavily involved in the local folk music scene and we love to share our love of music with guests and friends.

MusicHaven was established in Belmont Lower Hutt in 2007. We  chose to move to the sunny Kapiti Coast and we now offer bed & breakfast accommodation in our new home. The photos here will be added to over time .

 Accommodation:

Our comfortable 1950s home is just south of Paraparaumu in Wellington’s sunny Kapiti Coast district. We are close to transport and amenities just a short walk to the Coastlands shops and Paraparaumu. We are 2km from the beach and Raumati shopping centre. Around our dining and lounge area is decking making the outside as enjoyable and easy to access as the indoor living spaces.  Our two cats love company.  We offer bed and breakfast accommodation in a good sized queen bedroom with a guest-share bathroom.
