Incredibly peaceful and quiet. The birds were incredible to see and hear! Easy walk (at the end of the cul-de-sac at the bottom of the hill) to the beach by way of a mowed path. Beautiful!

The Native Birds, sun rises, ocean views and bush made this a haven to relax and unwind. Pete was awesome to deal with in every respect. Totally recommend this one.

Only issue was that the hot water was switched off and we hadn't been provided with any information about how to switch it back on again. We followed up with the owner once we discovered this and they were able to provide a PDF copy of instructions, which should have been emailed to us ahead of time but wasn't. This could have been remedied by providing a printed copy of the information onsite. Particularly important given there is no cell reception or wifi at the property.

Wonderful views from a quiet and comfortable location

We had a very enjoyable stay at this property. The house is compact but very well setup. Our bed was very comfortable as was the living room seating. The highlight of this property is the wonderful elevated view of the Akaroa Harbour and the Heads. There are also great views from the extensive deck to the surrounding valley and hills. It was only a 10 minute walk to the beach down a track at the end of the street and the beach is good for swimming and other water activities. I also enjoyed walking / running up the narrow country roads leading out of Wainui. The location was very quiet apart from the pleasing sound of bellbirds and I enjoyed the birdlife in the area. We gave the sliding door window an extra clean so that we could better enjoy the great view from the living room as well as from sitting on the deck.
