Akaroa House | Sunny, modern, private hilltop holiday home

3 Bedroom House in Akaroa

This large modern home has views, sunshine and privacy, and enough space for a couple to spread out, or to accommodate two families with up to four children. It’s at the top of the lane, above all the neighbours, facing north with great views over Grehan Valley. The house adjoins a forested reserve which has walking tracks to town (seven minutes) and plenty of native birds, which you see almost at treetop level from the deck. Kereru perch on the railing or roof, and you can wake to a dawn chorus of bellbirds. You are sheltered from any noise from town, despite being so close to it.
The house has a main bedroom with ensuite (shower, vanity, toilet), two other bedrooms, a full bathroom (bath, shower, vanity), and a second separate toilet. This means the house can work well for two families with up to four kids in total. The kitchen has a full oven, microwave, and a wide range of pots, pans, spices etc. There’s a gas barbecue to use on the deck. The main dining table seats 6 but there is a second table and extra chairs that can be used. The separate laundry has a new front loading washing machine.
There’s a large flat screen TV with a SmartVu chromecast dongle which gives the usual Freeview channels, and can cast from your devices. There's free unlimited wifi at good speeds (up to 150 Mbits/sec). Also very good cellphone reception.
Bear in mind there are steps up to the house, so small children will need to be watched outside. There’s parking for two cars, but no room for boat trailers.
The check-in time is 3pm. If there is nobody staying the previous night, by arrangement a few days before arrival, we may be able to arrange earlier check-in.
The pricing includes a base rate per night (for 2 people), plus $15/night for each extra person, plus a cleaning fee ($70 per stay). Bookabach also add a charge (covers website and some GST). The price assumes people bring their own linen and towels (old-style kiwi bach). There is an option to hire linen at an extra cost of $50 per booking. For that, when booking send me a message (through the system) asking for linen, and say which beds you need made up. I can then revise the quote to add the linen fee. If any complications, please just ask!

Summary: Excellent property, sunny and lots of space for socialising. Good location. The instructions were thorough and clear which was great.One note for the owner is the freeview had no connection. This was not an issue for us as we were not there to watch TV. This is just for the owners information.

Summary: The home was great. Albeit at the top of the hill, it's still walkable to town using trails that zig zag in the woods which is easier than walking back uphill on the road.We had a wonderful stay.

Summary: Great stay over a few nights, excellent setout of the house and had everything we needed. The house is at the top of a steep hill and further than expected from restaurants etc but that also gave a stunning view over the valley and allowed for plenty of privacy and didn't detract from the stay. Only thing to be aware of is the deck can be a bit slippery when a heavy dew or rain.

Summary: Very impressed with the facilities, the decor and cleanliness. A good view across the valley.The steepness of the road and steps into the house were a bit challenging for one of us, but didn't detract from our enjoyment of the place.

Summary: The house was perfect for our family of 5. Very well maintained and plenty of room kids and adults alike. All the amenities are in good condition and there’s everything you need for a lovely stay. The location was perfect. A stunning view over the valley, lots of sun and just a short walk into Akaroa. I had a couple of queries of my own making and Dave was super helpful and really responsive…an excellent host.

Summary: Great stay over a long weekend. The house was larger than expected and had everything we needed. The house is at the top of a very steep hill so we ended up driving closer to the shops instead of walking in.
