About this house rental

Fabulous sea views across the harbour, sun drenched decking areas, private bush setting and easy walking distance to Akaroa's superb cafes and restaurants. This well equipped, modern holiday home has had a recent refurbishment and is presented sparkling clean and comfortable. Free wifi is provided for guests in the house.

The house is all on one level and is elevated for the sea views. An easy set of wide steps leads from the driveway parking to the house. The sea view can be enjoyed from the living area as well as from both of the double bedrooms. A substantial wrap around deck means that there are plenty of places for alfresco meals or a glass of wine. Enjoy a coffee on the front open deck or under the shaded verandah and watch the boat traffic and comings and goings of the town. Or pull up a chair and relax in total seclusion on the sunny deck at the rear of the property to read a book.

Inside, the stylish living/dining room has a flat screen television with freeview satellite TV, as well as good lighting for reading. A big 8kw Daikin heat pump and a double layer of insulation in the ceiling will keep you warm and cosy in the winter as well as cooler in the summer. The kitchen is well equipped and is well lit and bright. The bathroom has been updated and has a wall mounted fan heater. The master bedroom has a queen sized bed and the second bedroom has a double bed. Both bedrooms are a perfect retreat for guests, with good quality beds. A convenient laundry and utility area adjoins the back door. All areas are super clean and light and bright.

Please note that although there is good access to this house, that it may not suit people with walking disabilities - please discuss this with the owner. Please also discuss this accommodation re very young children, as the house is set on a hill and there are falling hazards for toddlers (see photos).

LINEN is commercial quality white cotton and is included. Your bed will be made up for your arrival.

IMPORTANT NOTE : the two person rate assumes a couple sharing the master bedroom and includes linen for one bed to be made up, (plus your bath towels, bath mat etc.) If two people travelling together wish to use two beds and two bedrooms , then please contact the owner in advance - there will be a charge for the hired linen for an extra bed & bedroom service of NZ $89. This can be added through the web site either at the time of booking , or shortly after.

Sorry, but absolutely no pets and no smoking.

Absolutely fantastic location, private, sunny and comfy yet only a short stroll into town. Great communication from our hosts too. Stunning views over the harbour and we loved being able to sit on the deck with a wine watching the sun set! Loved our stay!
