This place has an amazing view of the bay from two bedrooms and the living area, plus the spacious deck. It has everything you need and only a short walk to the town (if you can handle the hills!). We had a few issues getting our big car into the carport as the driveway is very steep and a tight corner. Eventually we figured out the best way was to reverse up the drive into the carport which made for an easy exit. The house is old and a few features are dated (bathroom and toilet mainly). But the living area and kitchen is modern and has a welcoming feel. We spent many hours reading and relaxing with the ever present impressive view. Karen was very helpful and we had a lovely chat with about the area her on departure. Akaroa and the Banks Peninsula truly is a stunning part of the world!
