Weekend getaway

Had a great weekend away with family. House was very warm and inviting, with all the amenities we needed, including a large space for parking the boat. The location meant we could get out on the water in no time. Overall very pleased with our stay.

Family Break

Great stay in Akaroa, house was tidy and well kitted out. Only drawback was that we were unaware that the house was situated on a very steep road which would have been useful to know prior to booking.

Great New Year

Fabulous place for family and friends to enjoy Akaroa. We loved the relaxed bach vibe, bush and bird song. Great parking for the jet ski and car, great deck to relax on in the evening and living space was large enough for a family with teenagers. Would love to come back and stay again.

Comfortable and well located home in Akoroa

Description of the property well matched the experience. Easy walk down to the town centre, 5 to 10 mins , a little tougher back up. Place was comfortable, quiet and spacious. Watch for having to bring your own bed linen, towels..
