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.
