Haven above Charteris Bay

Upon our arrival, we were pleasantly surprised by the property. It offered a private location, excellent views, and spacious accommodations that provided ultimate comfort and relaxation. It felt like coming home after many years of living in the city centre.We enjoyed lovely swims in the bay and took the local ferry to the Lyttelton Market. Now, we are already planning to return in the near future to enjoy another wonderful holiday stay.

Home away from home

I brought lots of supplies as over Xmas and remote location, but I didn't need to as this bach is as well stocked as my home. This, along with comfy beds, plenty of space and the shaded decks made as feel at home right away.The views are stupendous and it was super relaxing to just sit and gaze into the distance.
