Wonderful views from a quiet and comfortable location
We had a very enjoyable stay at this property. The house is compact but very well setup. Our bed was very comfortable as was the living room seating. The highlight of this property is the wonderful elevated view of the Akaroa Harbour and the Heads. There are also great views from the extensive deck to the surrounding valley and hills. It was only a 10 minute walk to the beach down a track at the end of the street and the beach is good for swimming and other water activities. I also enjoyed walking / running up the narrow country roads leading out of Wainui. The location was very quiet apart from the pleasing sound of bellbirds and I enjoyed the birdlife in the area. We gave the sliding door window an extra clean so that we could better enjoy the great view from the living room as well as from sitting on the deck.

Perfect place for a quiet getaway
Spur of the moment decision to spend a night away. This is a gorgeous spot on the hill overlooking Wainui. Quiet, restful and great seaviews. The birdlife was a lovely, unexpected bonus.

Great getaway in a lovely clean house
Was a great location, nice view and easy to get to. House was clean and had everything you need - lots of utensils and condiments. And a good selection of DVDs in case you need them!

Stunning View
We enjoyed our 2 nights in this peaceful location 20 mins from the heart of Akaroa. Ghe house was clean and well equipped. Instructions clear and we felt welcome. Just a note re the fridge settings/ condenser as there was a jug of frozen water in fridge and our milk froze (until we adjusted setting.) Condenser appeared to be malfunctioning.
