Was peaceful

8.0

Loved our stay. Was a very lovely bach. Location was brilliant. The spa was great for listening to birds in.

Possible better attention needed to cobwebs on the property. Especially round the windows. Lots of bugs. Which is due to being hard into the bush. The spa filter needs cleaning.

Very good

8.0

A very pleasant experience and welcome surprise. Had everything we needed, clean and tidy throughout. Private and nestled in bush with native birds to listen to- road noise was not an issue as was reviewed on another site. Stunning views, we enjoyed beautiful sunsets and sunrise on the opposite hills. The fire was the best feature, as it was chilly at times. Added bonus is the spa pool. Only a 2 minute drive to Akaroa. We recommend for a mini break.

No sun on the property all day. It maybe be different in Summer. The fire and spa made up for it and it provided a great opportunity to really explore Akaroa in the sun.
