2 Bedroom House in Akaroa

Fabulous sea views across the harbour, sun drenched decking areas, private bush setting and easy walking distance to Akaroa's superb cafes and restaurants. This well equipped, modern holiday home has had a recent refurbishment and is presented sparkling clean and quite special. Free wifi is provided for guests in the house.
The house is all on one level and is elevated for the sea views. An easy set of wide steps leads from the driveway parking to the house. The sea view can be enjoyed from the living area as well as from both of the double bedrooms. A substantial wrap around deck means that there are plenty of places for alfresco meals or a glass of wine. Enjoy a coffee on the front open deck or under the shaded verandah and watch the boat traffic and comings and goings of the town. Or pull up a chair and relax in total seclusion on the sunny deck at the rear of the property to read a book.
A 'Broil King' hooded BBQ has been added to the outdoor dining space - with a built in thermostat this BBQ can be used as a conventional BBQ or as an outdoor oven to bake a homemade pizza or roast a juicy chicken or leg of pork.
Inside, the stylish living/dining room has a flat screen television with freeview satellite TV, as well as good lighting for reading. A big 8kw Daikin heat pump and a double layer of insulation in the ceiling will keep you warm and cosy in the winter as well as cooler in the summer. The kitchen is well equipped and is well lit and bright. The bathroom has been updated and has a wall mounted fan heater. The master bedroom has a queen sized bed and the second bedroom has a double bed. Both bedrooms are a perfect retreat for guests, with good quality beds. A convenient laundry and utility area adjoins the back door. All areas are super clean and light and bright.

Summary: We stayed 3 nights which was great for us toward the end of our three weeks in New Zealand. Perfect location for us to be able to both relax at the house and explore the town and the surrounding area. Highly recommended property and place to visit.

Summary: My sister and I stayed in this delightful cottage for a few days while we visited the beautiful Fishermans Bay Gardens. The cottage is clean, comfortable and pretty. The views from the deck are beautiful at any time of day. On the first morning I awoke to birdsong and a glorious sunrise over the harbor of Akaroa. Our hosts were accessible and thoughtful -- fresh garden flowers on the counter for our arrival! We loved our visit and would stay here again.

Summary: We had a wonderful few days. The view is uplifting as is the location. The sights, sounds and peacefulness from our accomodation was just what we needed to relax and enjoy our time. Walking distance from everything but far enough away to be quietly restful. The place was very clean comfortable and had all we needed. We would definitely stay again.

Summary: Excellent location, beautiful views, idyllic. One of the most stunning places we have stayed. Driveway was not too much of an issue, but we have a 4 wheel drive and a good reversing camera. We would love to stay here again, the property and facilities were all first class.

Summary: Belinda and John went above and beyond to ensure our stay was enjoyable. The cottage was absolutely spotless upon our arrival, and the kitchen was equipped with everything we needed for our visit. We were pleasantly surprised by the thoughtful little touches, such as a handwritten note welcoming us and a bouquet of flowers in a vase. The cottage's location is perfect, just a short stroll from the supermarket and boulangerie. However, the best part was the amazing views of the harbour and surrounding hills. Even during the rainy weather, the place felt nice and cosy. We had a very relaxing break and were reluctant to leave. We would definitely consider staying here again!
