Set amongst a forest of native trees and bush the birdsong is prolific and set far back from any public roads to make this spot a haven for relaxation.
The views are absolutely amazing and expansive taking in the harbour and township of Akaroa.

The two bedrooms, living room and rumpus room, that offers extra accommodation options, all open onto the sunny deck that spans the length of the house.
There is direct access to the ocean down the track at the front of the bach and a private boat mooring available upon request. (BYO) Waterski, kayak and paddle board right from the edge of the property!
The entrance to the property is at the entrance of Akaroa's famous sculpture peninsula walk through the farmlands and around the headland to Takamatua. A winding creek filled with eels and whitebait meanders through to Children's Bay.
All this situated a short stroll into the village yet miles away for peace, relaxation and time out.

Summary: Very basic bach. Cold, some upgrading of appliances might be safer, furniture very old. On the expensive side for the level of facilities. Excellent views.

Summary: We had such an excellent time at this wee treasure of a crib.....we are regular guests at my friends' crib at Bull Creek, Otago and we have fallen in love with it for its location and pure charm. This wee bach has the same eclectic charm, beautiful views, and laid back feel. Having 4 teens and a dog means mess and lots of activity, so having a place to hang out that is designed for a proper holiday, and not "style" makes all the difference. We loved the "homey" comfort, the indoor/outdoor flow, the pool table, the BBQ, and the easy access to the water (we hung out with stingrays and were a stones throw from a couple of dolphins). Thanks for the wonderful stay.....hope to come back!

Summary: In a lovely spot, and definitely a kiwi bach, but generally much about the property was in disrepair and not so clean.

Summary: This Bach is away from it all with beautiful views of the harbor, bird song and bush surround, very peaceful and special property in need of some ‘TLC’.
