The space

Rustic charm in the old shearer’s quarters suitable for a couple but can sleep up to two couples.

Beds
Mezzanine bed - if used please replace sheets, pillow cases and leave made up and ready for next guests. My elderly mum who does cleaning can't get up there! Replacement bedding in the wardrobe.
Downstairs bed - on departure no need to make up. Please just strip sheets and pillow cases, leave the duvet (it gets changed regularly).
Thank you in advance!
Access
Port Levy is an easy hours easy scenic drive (45 km) from Christchurch via a sealed road. When you get to Port Levy head past the church at the foot of the hill, then Wharf Road is the first left, 200 m along is the Overleigh sign, head up here 200 m past the homestead on the left and the shearers quarters is further on also on the left.
It is a private sunny and secluded spot!
There is a fast EV charger for electric vehicles in our garage, guests welcome to use for a small fee to cover electricity cost, let us know after you book if you want to use this.
Other things to note
Overleigh shearers quarters was originally used by shearers but has been renovated recently to improve the amenities with further changes aiming to retain the rustic charm.
The sea is about 200 m away and there are a lot of great places to walk. The marae is on the other side of the bay where there are places to go swimming or you could fish from the wharf.
The deck receives morning and afternoon sun - enjoy a drink in the afternoon or a meal on the bbq. There are also cooking facilities and a small oven inside.
Diamond Harbour is a 15 minutes drive and you go through here before you get to Port Levy. Diamond Harbour has a well equiped four square where you can obtain provisions and also Two Thumb Harbourside offers fine craft beer and food.
Port Levy is not on a main road and it is possible to drive to Akaroa or Little River through the back roads. Akaroa is less than an hour away and Little River around 35 minutes.
