It’s Coast Time!

Isn’t it funny? Here on the Kapiti Coast and Horowhenua, we know that once the Pohutukawa flowers break with their beautiful rich red colours it’s Coast Time.

But what is Coast Time?

We think it’s that time of year when the sea is warm, the Tararua's are clear of snow and the tiny flowers on the hills open and invite the insects for a party.

We think it’s that time of the week when you leave the office, after spending the week staring at a screen full of useless information, on a journey to the coast where the priority is getting the shoes off, grabbing a good coffee and finding a nice spot to take a moment and consider all the important things.

We think Coast Time is that time of the year when all the aunties and uncles arrive in town, bring with them the kai, the politics and smiles that we have looked forward to all year.

We think Coast Time is that time of the year where there is something wonderful to do every weekend and the markets are bulging with the freshest in local produce.


We think Coast Time is awesome

So go on, challenge yourself this summer and do something different – experience what it is that makes the Kapiti Coast and Horowhenua simply awesome in the summer.
