amazing views

challenging drive

The views were amazing, especially at

Sunset. Our Two-Bedroom Chalet was well-equipped with everything we needed, including cozy beds and a kitchen ideal for family meals. The owners provided excellent recommendations for local sights. The drive up the hill might be a challenge for some without a car.

My room included tea and coffee, and a kettle. I had an awesome view of mountain. The location was stunning for Akaroa, not far from several walking tracks, and the hill overlooing Akaroa harbour and the bay. Welcoming staff who cared about me.

spacious chalet

beautiful views

night light option

The beautiful views of the bay from the balcony made our mornings magical, and the kids loved having their own space to play.

My children wanted a night light option for the upper room.
