About this property

Log Cabin Vacation Retreat

This beautiful authentic log cabin Bach offers panoramic views of the bay and will have you relaxing in no time. A great sized section with petanque court and native planting that attracts kereru (Wood Pigeon), piwakawaka (fantail) and Korimako (bellbird) for a lovely morning chorus.
The Bach sleeps 10 with room in the 2nd and 3rd bedrooms for a stretcher or port-a-cot if needed (not supplied). The first bedroom has a queen bed, the second bedroom has a queen bed and the 3rd bedroom is a large mezzanine with a queen bed and 4 single beds.
Great indoor-outdoor flow to a large deck with views of the bay and perfect for a classic kiwi BBQ (provided) or watching the sun go down. There is an upstairs deck looking out to the heads which is a great place for a relaxed breakfast.
There is a dish washer and washing machine available (please bring your own washing powder/detergent) and a heat pump to keep you warm.
So much on offer in this stunning location with the beach and jetty just a couple of minutes walk and a longer walk out to the heads or a monument accessible right from the front door. It is also just a short drive to Akaroa, Purau, Pigeon Bay or Diamond Harbour for some further afield exploring.
There is limited / no cell phone coverage in Port Levy, so this is a fantastic place to escape from technology and truly unwind. We love that our batch has no TV and we enjoy wonderful days and evenings of games and socialising with family and friends.

Linen isn't provided so please bring your own.

Some pets maybe accepted. Please ask a question to discuss.

NOTE: Under Kiwi Bach tradition you are expected to: Leave the cabin clean and tidy and do the dishes before you leave.

Kia ora - My name is Celia and my mum Mandy owns this awesome bach. My mum lives in Kaiapoi and we live in Christchurch and love being able to escape to Port Levy as it's so close to home. My mum's husband is Canadian and earlier on in his life he use to build log houses so there was an instant attraction when this place came up for sale. We have had many family gatherings here and mum loves having the grandchildren over to enjoy their childhood's the way she remembers growing up.

What makes this property unique

No wifi and no TV. This is a real traditional, get away from it all break - and you deserve it!!! Life is so busy and so scheduled these days that being able to truely unwind and be present with the ones you love is so special! This bach makes memories so come on over to our little slice of paradice.
