Such a fantastic house to stay in. A home away from home. A little older, but we love that as you feel at home. Sleeps 13, with 3 bathrooms upstairs and one downstairs. Electric blankets, a great log burner and heaters in every bedroom. You can choose to bring your own sheets, pillow slips and towels, or pay to have them supplies. The kitchen has everything including a great coffee machine. Games, mountain bikes and baby gear available. One of the best holiday homes we've ever stayed in. We'll be back. Thanks to the hosts.

Lovely views and plenty of space

This was a great place for two families to stay. The views from the deck were amazing. The kitchen was well equipped, and there was plenty of space for us all. The location was great, a bit of hill walking but not too far into town.

Great place to stay

Le Bach is in a perfect location, easy walk to the beach and shops. The house is lovely, very large, and very well equipped. We used it for a writing retreat and it had everything we needed. We particular appreciated the big dining table to work on. The beds were very comfortable.

Hi We purchased this property in 2018 having been a visitor to the Akaroa district for many years. We love the friendly small town atmosphere that Akaroa offers. The area has something for everyone. We love getting out on the water - fishing diving waterskiing etc. If you are into walking or mountain biking, there are many varied trails close in hand.

What makes this property unique

We are happy to supply linen if required. The charge for bed linen and towels is $25 per room per stay
Please note: A cleaning fee of $150 per stay is to be paid in cash on arrival at Le Bach
