This little Church Bay cabin is great value for the price and location. The cabin has a stunning view directly to Lyttelton and you can just about see the heads to the East. The deck was a great place to relax and watch the lights come out at the end of the day.
We stayed with an 11 month old and managed well. It was reasonably easy to baby-proof and keep baby safe. Kathy also had a small mattress and sheets available which we ended up using because we forgot our baby tent and the bed was too small to co-sleep.
The cabin has the basic necessities available to cook a meal, it's very warm and with a bit of effort the bed folds into a couch which gives you a lot more room and it had a large shelving unit that provides a lot of storage space. It had a nice, big shower with great pressure.
Access is through grass and large stepping stones. You can't drive the car directly up to the cabin. The cabin is beside the main house separated by a large hedge and surrounded by native plantings. There are two small chairs on the deck and a large table on the side deck which got a lot of sun.
We spent a lovely two days staycationing, exploring Diamond Harbour and visiting Lyttelton on the ferry. We would stay again.
