Secluded Stream Side Bungalow

Only 90 minutes from Christchurch you will find this secluded property nestled between the old school and architecturally renowned St Andrews Church. The property is situated four kilometers from the beach, this stream side bungalow provides a relaxing break away.

You are twenty minutes from Akaroa which has a number of amenities. You are a short distance from a number of walks if you want to explore the Peninsular or simply relax and enjoy the native Kereru and Fantail that inhabit the surrounding trees.

For the children there is a stream at the back of the property which will keep them entertained for hours. The property is fenced although for those intent on escaping it is not fully secure.

The property is minutes from the beach and domain that contains tennis court, kids play ground, flying fox, basketball hoop and rope swing. The beach is safe for kids and there is a river at the southern end of the beach which is a perfect place to play and explore. Seals can often be seen playing around the rocks and Dolphins are often spotted in the bay.

The house has been renovated and has been tastefully decorated. This is an ideal destination for families and couples looking for a relaxing get away.

NOTE: Under Kiwi bach tradition you are expected to: Clean the house and do the dishes before you leave; Bring your own towels and sheets, tee towels etc

Great little bach. Homely feel and so close to the beach which the kids loved, especially exploring the rock pools. Nice wee stream in the back garden, great place for an Easter getaway and egg hunt

Lovely spot

Great stay. LOVED that our dog was welcome inside as this is sadly rare. Would love easier access to creek as Mum would have loved to have been able to get down there as it’s such a great feature.

The family bach is a lovely place to stay, albeit chilly in winter,it was very snug.

The bach was comfortable, and well appointed, and Andrew was most helpful. Thank you, we enjoyed our stay.

WONDERFUL holiday home

Would love to stay again. Nice and clean, great games and books, nature views, private and peaceful. Beautiful, gentle dog from a few houses down came to visit to ask for endless tummy rubs. We kept wishing she'd come back the next days (we were missing our dog who didn't end up coming with us)!

Great place to stay

It was a great experience staying in the property, very safe for kids and dog. 5 minutes drive to beach. Its a nice quiet place, sheep's, cows farms are around and natural habitats for lots of birds. Stream behing the property is great. Owner expect to clean the property at the end of your stay, it was ok for us to do, as much as we could.. definitely recommended.

Peaceful get away.

We had a wonderful stay at Le Bon bay. The beds are comfortable and the house is well equipped with everything you need. Every morning we sat in the deck in the sunshine as it’s a little sun trap. The children loved playing in the creek and Le bon beach is one of our favourite places to visit and swim. Thanks for the stay - we will be back for sure.

Beautiful home away from home

What a lovely spot to be based at for a break, the hosts have certainly put a lot of thought into making it a lovely comfortable place to stay, but have still retained the bach feel, not to far a drive to the beach and domain which is a awesome spot to have a picnic and a great base for exploring other bays while taking in the awesome views of the Akaroa harbour, we would certainly stay here again.
