The perfect weekend getaway house. We needed a relaxing weekend away and that's exactly what we got. The house was clean and welcoming, with a fire started before we arrived. The views of the bay are breathtaking and we loved being close enough to Akaroa but still far away from the hustle and bustle. Everything was as described, with the spa ready for us and all amenities available including the BBQ and kitchen tools. The views were stunning, with many cute spots in the house and around the garden to sit with a cuppa (or wine) and take it all in. Even better, no noisy neighbours and it was so nice to be able to bring our dog with us, too.
