We are originally from Scotland and love fine dining and golf.
Waikanae is a small town on New Zealand's Kapiti Coast. The name is a Māori word meaning "The waters of the yellow eyed mullet".The township is about 60km north of Wellington and lies between Paraparaumu, eight km to the southwest, and Otaki, 15km to the northeast. Waikanae is bordered by open farmland and forest, the Tasman Sea and the rugged Tararua Ranges. Together with its neighbouring settlement of Waikanae Beach, the township comprises a quiet locale, popular with families and retirees. Just north of Waikanae is the small community of Peka Peka. The Te Araroa Trail leads through Waikanae. The area surrounding the township is notable for its 5-kilometre long beach and wide river mouth, opposite Kapiti Island which lies four kilometres offshore in the Tasman Sea. The waters between Waikanae Beach and Kapiti Island are a marine reserve, and whales or Hector's dolphins are sometimes spotted on their migration routes through the narrow corridor. The beach itself is composed of black iron sand and is popular for water sports and long walks.
