About this property

Bay Bliss - Akaroa Holiday Home

Just across the road from sparkling Duvauchelle Bay is Bay Bliss, a 2-bedroom holiday home in peaceful Akaroa.

Bay Bliss is completely wheelchair accessible on request, with a lift on the side of the house to the deck, a roll-in bathroom and living across one level. Sleeping up to 5, relax in comfort here with air-con and BBQ for summer stays, and a heat pump on hand for cooler months.

The sunny deck is the perfect place to enjoy your morning coffee, as you watch the peaceful harbour and rolling hills. Bay Bliss is a great place for those who are wanting to relax in the Duvauchelle area, away from the hustle and bustle of central Akaroa.

Unwind here and enjoy the serenity with the knowledge that Akaroa township is just 10-minutes drive away, perfect for shopping and delicious restaurants!

An evening stroll along the waterfront is the best way to end the day.

Welcome to a truly blissful getaway at Bay Bliss!
As the property has unfenced access to the bay, adults should closely supervise young children while outside to ensure they are safe around water.

Please note the garage is not available for guest use.

Please note a bond may be charged at certain times of the year. One of our team members will contact you if this is required for your booking.

Sweet bach with potential

This bach is well situated in Duvauchelle, which is close to Akaroa but much quieter. The beach is stoney and good for water sports and shell hunting. There is a camp ground adjacent with a playground, which we found useful. It is small but functional. Positives: recently renovated, well-appointed kitchen, comfortable beds. Lovely and sunny, also with black-out blinds and an air-conditioning unit. Negatives: this bach feels very much like somebody's family bach. There was a lot of unnecessary items and accumulated kitchen goods and could really be cleaned out to create more space. It would have helped for the owner's personal items to be put in a locked cupboard so it was clear what was free for us to use and what was theirs. The bathroom is very simple - a shower in what feels more like a laundry. No bathroom sink, just a laundry-sink. Furniture was dated but functional. The bach is a little pricey for what it is, especially the breakdown of agency fees (for instance for linen use).
