Such a special spot. Incredible views and an all day sun trap. A comfortable and cosy bach. Bird life is amazing and the bird feeders bring them right to you. While not fully fenced the property was great for our dog. We had a great time exploring Akaroa and parts of Banks Peninsula. We would love to return for another stay.

Thank you so much for your kind words and for sharing your experience! We’re thrilled to hear you loved the view—it’s one of our favorite features too! We’d be happy to welcome you back anytime for another stay with those beautiful sights. Thanks again for choosing us!
Leaving a review as this place doesn’t have many! This was a beautiful home- quite warm and cozy. The views and deck are out of this world. Beds and couches were comfy. Loved the birds and views. There is a little path you can walk too that takes you to the waterfront.The grill wasn’t clean and there were some odd stains in the rooms on the walls- but overall we were really happy. It was a lovely accomodation for a pretty reasonable price too. Would stay again!
