This house is wonderfully situation moments from central Akaroa and with glorious views over the harbour. The traditional/period house has been very sensitively modernised and the beautiful original gardens preserved, including fruit trees and a vegetable garden. Perched on the hill with glorious views to the South and a well fashioned deck to the North which itself has a lovely aspect to Children’s Bay, the house feels surrounded by wildlife, with Tui and fantails amongst the many birds flying by, and with sheep and cows roaming to the property’s perimeter. The Victorian box hedge protecting the house from the sweeping winds and the road below, is the house’s crowning glory. We loved this place!
