Sep 5, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### View to die for Such a special spot. Incredible views and an all day sun trap. A comfortable and cosy bach. Bird life is amazing and the bird feeders bring them right to you. While not fully fenced the property was great for our dog. We had a great time exploring Akaroa and parts of Banks Peninsula. We would love to return for another stay. ##### Peter H. Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Roy T.

This was a beautiful home- quite warm and cozy. The views and deck are out of this world. Beds and couches were comfy. Loved the birds and views. There is a little path you can walk too that takes you to the waterfront.The grill wasn’t clean and there were some odd stains in the rooms on the walls- but overall we were really happy. It was a lovely accomodation for a pretty reasonable price too. Would stay again! ##### Kristi T.
