Great place to stay

Le Bach is in a perfect location, easy walk to the beach and shops. The house is lovely, very large, and very well equipped. We used it for a writing retreat and it had everything we needed. We particular appreciated the big dining table to work on. The beds were very comfortable.

So many different spaces in the house for rest, quiet, catching up, having fun, enjoying sun, watching birds, cooking up large... Fantastic place for a large family, with lots of things for kids and families to do together, very nice walks nearby including down to town, and wonderful views.

Nice home with great decks and outdoor space.

Home was great for a group with plenty of bathrooms. Enjoyed a girls trip away but just found it a steepish walk to 5he main street. Was easier to drive down the hill. Good communication from the owner. Would definayely stay at this property again.

Family Getaway from Christchurch

A large house with lots of different rooms, lots of bathrooms, well set up for children, great views. There was a cold snap while we were there, but the log fire works well and 2 heat pumps help. Lovely short walk into the town. Beautiful views. Great communication from hosts.

Wonderful family weekend away

If anything, our expectations were well and truly exceeded. Fantastic location within walking distance of township and amenities - albeit a bit of a hill to hike up. Great views of the harbour, hills and general landscape. Beautiful sunset and sunrises. We celebrated a birthday here with all children and grandchildren. Plenty of room and space in and out of the home. Kitchen and bathroom facilities were excellent. Home was very safe for little people. Good parking. We had such a wonderful weekend away and I would highly recommend this home. We will return.

Lovely views and plenty of space

This was a great place for two families to stay. The views from the deck were amazing. The kitchen was well equipped, and there was plenty of space for us all. The location was great, a bit of hill walking but not too far into town.

We love getting out on the water - fishing diving waterskiing etc. If you are into walking or mountain biking, there are many varied trails close in hand.

What makes this property unique

We are happy to supply linen if required. The charge for bed linen and towels is $25 per room per stay
