Quiet, secluded, yet a short walk to the village. Surrounded by bird song, warm with a beautiful view

The fire and supply of wood. The view. The birdsong.

Shower over bath. Steep unsealed driveway. We had wonderful weather, but the lack of sun could make the cottage cold in winter.

Lovely outlook in the bush.

Very average wifi, it would not connect to our phones, and the TV cut out at times.

"Ein ruhig gelegenes, voll ausgestattetes Haus im Wald, sauber, aber schon etwas abgewohnt."

8.0

Ein Häuschen im Wald, ruhige Lage mit Blick auf die Bucht und Akaroa

Liegt voll im Schatten, das Haus war sehr kalt bei der Ankunft, wir konnten aber den Ofen anheizen. Schon etwas abgewohnt. Ort in 20-30 Minuten zu Fuß erreichbar

Affordable, quiet and simple hideaway close to Akaroa township. Lovely bush setting and scenic view. Thankfully contact was immediately available and helpful (even late afternoon on New Years Eve) to provide spare key when I accidentally locked door with key inside! - Service very much appreciated!

Breakfast N/A. Well provided with devices, great range of kitchen tools, comfortable bed. Warm, great log fire and column heater

Sofa is not the most comfortable The steps up from the parking area were a bit of a challenge for older folks who travel with too much gear.

"Less enjoyable than previous visits and did not reflect the premium level charges."

5.0

Location and tranquility with an awesome harbour view.

We’ve used this property 3 or 4 times in recent years and have noted ongoing deterioration in condition and evidence that maintenance is not being undertaken. As an example, there was a handwritten note taped to the bedroom electric heater saying it was not working and was awaiting repair - we are convinced it’s exactly the same note that was there a year ago! The outside decking - essentially the first impression of the property, looked shabby, it needs cleaning and protecting. Windows needed cleaning. The information folder is a mess and needs updating and replacing and the crockery seems a fairly random selection. Furniture is dated and well used, not as comfortable as it once perhaps was. The fridge freezer compartment needed defrosting. And the bathroom looks like it’s out of the 1970s with worn and discoloured spa bath fittings and plastic shower curtains. We will take some convincing to consider using it again. The potential remains great but this time it felt very expensive for what we actually received.
