About this house rental

Perched in the bush and only 30 metres from the sea, this cosy split-level house offers a peaceful relaxing setting, complemented by a large deck and a great view. This property is an original bach and offers great value and a simple holiday experience.

This property is in within 15 minutes easy flat stroll or 2 minutes’ drive down to the centre of the village of Akaroa and all it offers, and is well suited to those wanting to explore the beautiful Bank Peninsula region.

Tourist activities include both dolphin watching and swimming with dolphins, guided kayaking, fishing and swimming, hiking, walks and a relaxed village around which you can just stroll and enjoy the views, the people, the atmosphere...

There’s a good children’s playground if travelling with children, beaches for playing in and a pleasant drive by car to the outer bays of the Peninsula will find some of the best unspoilt beaches in Canterbury. Banks Peninsula even has a couple of hidden surfing spots which are world renown. The village also boasts a decent sized supermarket, many cafes, and a host of wonderful restaurants. The safe bay also offer great walks and hikes, along with boutique shopping, galleries, wineries and the famous Barry Point cheese factory.

The house was a great location within easy access to everything. There is a beautiful view and great bird song. The peace and quiet was wonderful. Only negative was no blind on bathroom window or large window just outside the bathroom.

It was a well heated and a very comfortable place to stay in the winter. Beautiful scenery with lots of nature around. Would recommend for a relaxing weekend away.

A lovely location in a traditional unmodernised bach with great views across the harbour. Great walk along the waterfront and through the nearby gardens.

Lovely bush location and nice walk into "town". House in need of TLC though, one of the sliding doors on to deck is on its last legs which meant we couldn't use it. A spring clean throughout house would make a difference. Light bulb missing in already very dark hallway and old food left in fridge by previous tenants which we thought could have been removed before we arrived?!
