Enjoy walks and swims down at the beach as well as a short drive to some local wineries.

Akaroa is only a 20min drive if you want to explore some of the local shops or have a meal out. The Duvauchelle Pub also does great meals!

Tea, Coffee, Sugar, cooking oil, salt & pepper, laundry powder is available for use.

There is no shop in Wainui so it’s important to come prepared. The closest shop is Duvauchelle.

Please be aware that there is no railing around the deck so there is a need to be mindful with small children and the drop off it.

Incredibly peaceful and quiet. The birds were incredible to see and hear! Easy walk (at the end of the cul-de-sac at the bottom of the hill) to the beach by way of a mowed path. Beautiful!

Spur of the moment decision to spend a night away. This is a gorgeous spot on the hill overlooking Wainui. Quiet, restful and great seaviews. The birdlife was a lovely, unexpected bonus.
