About this house rental
This large modern home has views, sunshine and privacy, and enough space for a couple to spread out, or to accommodate two families with up to four children. It’s at the top of the lane, above all the neighbours, facing north with great views over Grehan Valley. The house adjoins a forested reserve which has walking tracks to town (seven minutes) and plenty of native birds, which you see almost at treetop level from the deck. Kereru perch on the railing or roof, and you can wake to a dawn chorus of bellbirds. You are sheltered from any noise from town, despite being so close to it.
The house itself has a main bedroom with ensuite (shower, vanity, toilet), two other bedrooms, a full bathroom (bath, shower, vanity), and a second separate toilet. This means the house can work well for two families with up to four kids in total. The kitchen has a full oven, microwave, and a wide range of pots, pans, spices etc. There’s a gas barbecue to use on the deck. The main dining table seats 6 but there is a second table and extra chairs that can be used. The separate laundry has a new front loading washing machine.
We encourage people to bring their own linen and towels (old-style kiwi bach), but linen hire is available. When booking, the system will work out a quote, which initially includes the $50 linen hire fee. But if your message (through the system) tells me you will bring your own linen, I can revise the quote to remove linen hire. If any complications, please just ask!
There’s a large flat screen TV with satellite Freeview channels, and free unlimited wifi at good speeds (28 Mbits/sec). Also very good cellphone reception.
Bear in mind there are steps up to the house, so small children will need to be watched outside. There’s parking for two cars, but no room for boat trailers.
The listed price is if you have your own linen (towels and sheets). We can supply linen for an extra single fee per stay. If so, please let me know which beds you will need made up.

The house was perfect for our family of 5. Very well
maintained and plenty of room kids and adults alike. All the amenities are in good condition and there’s everything you need for a lovely stay.
The location was perfect. A stunning view over the valley, lots of sun and just a short walk into Akaroa.
I had a couple of queries of my own making and Dave was super helpful and really responsive…an excellent host.

Great stay over a long weekend. The house was larger than expected and had everything we needed. The house is at the top of a very steep hill so we ended up driving closer to the shops instead of walking in.
