Hours of serenity

Peace and quiet in the trees with visiting birds (the site won't allow me to name them but they are birds native to NZ) and just a short drive to town if you need to.

Great place with beautiful views and lovely nature sounds to wake up to in the morning. Little bit tough to get to if you’re planning on walking into town.

Lovely, private, bush getaway

Perfect size for a couple, very handy location to Akaroa while still feeling very quiet and isolated. Enjoyed breakfast on the deck listening to the bird life and taking in the stunning view of the bay. Loved our stay, thank you!
