A great sized section with petanque court and native planting that attracts kereru (Wood Pigeon), piwakawaka (fantail) and Korimako (bellbird) for a lovely morning chorus. The Bach sleeps 10 with room in the 2nd and 3rd bedrooms for a stretcher or port-a-cot if needed (not supplied). The first bedroom has a queen bed, the second bedroom has a queen bed and the 3rd bedroom is a large mezzanine with a queen bed and 4 single beds. Great indoor-outdoor flow to a large deck with views of the bay and perfect for a classic kiwi BBQ (provided) or watching the sun go down. There is an upstairs deck looking out to the heads which is a great place for a relaxed breakfast. There is a dish washer and washing machine available (please bring your own washing powder/detergent) and a heat pump to keep you warm. So much on offer in this stunning location with the beach and jetty just a couple of minutes walk and a longer walk out to the heads or a monument accessible right from the front door. It is also just a short drive to Akaroa, Purau, Pigeon Bay or Diamond Harbour for some further afield exploring. There is limited / no cell phone coverage in Port Levy, so this is a fantastic place to escape from technology and truly unwind. We love that our batch has no TV and we enjoy wonderful days and evenings of games and socialising with family and friends. Linen isn't provided so please bring your own. Some pets maybe accepted. Please ask a question to discuss. NOTE: Under Kiwi Bach tradition you are expected to: Leave the cabin clean and tidy and do the dishes before you leave. ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach nearby - Beach loungers ### Parking and transportation - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Electric kettle - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Stovetop - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 3 bedrooms ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Shower ### Living spaces - Dining table - Living room ### Entertainment - Books - Games ### Outdoor areas - Balcony - Barbecue grill - Garden - Outdoor furniture ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washer/dryer ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoking not allowed ### Things to do - Birdwatching nearby - Fishing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Kayaking nearby - Motor boating nearby - Sailing nearby - Swimming nearby - Wildlife walks nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property; consider bringing a portable detector) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - Fire extinguisher ### General - Garden ## Similar properties ![Exterior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/10000000/9630000/9628200/9628107/76c86140.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Lincoln Motel Lincoln - Parking included - Free WiFi - Air conditioning - Business services 9.8 Exceptional 319 reviews CA $135 CA $155 total includes taxes & fees Mar 12 - Mar 13 [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-03-12&endDate=2026-03-13&selected=9628107&PinnedHotelID=9628107&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Garden](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/25000000/24310000/24305700/24305611/320e5a26.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Christchurch City & Country Cottages - Nut Point Cottage West Melton - Kitchen - Washer - Pet friendly - Parking included 8.0 Very good 1 review [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-03-25&endDate=2026-03-26&selected=24305611&PinnedHotelID=24305611&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Outdoor pool, a heated pool](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/38000000/38000000/37997800/37997717/c139e241.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Welcome to your perfect getaway!
