In case you’re new to Waikawa Beach you’ll want to know that traffic between Wellington and Levin is always a problem at Easter.
Check Waka Kotahi’s travel information page for SH1 – Kapiti Coast between Peka Peka and Otaki to see when travel is worst (or best). And then hope there aren’t any crashes that close the road.

Another excellent resource is the Facebook Traffic Updates page which tends to be up-to-the-minute with news.
