3 Bedroom House in Akaroa

An original no frills Kiwi bach with direct access to the sea. Sunny and family friendly with a private boat mooring and suitable for your responsible pets and children. If you are looking for a luxury get away, this property isn't for you - if you like the idea of stepping back into the 1970s and staying in an authentic 'kiwi bach' then you will love it!

Set amongst a forest of native trees and bush the birdsong is prolific and set far back from any public roads to make this spot a haven for relaxation.

The views are absolutely amazing and expansive taking in the harbour and township of Akaroa. Great indoor /outdoor flow to spacious deck from this original and modest property and you are welcome to bring your pets. The two bedrooms, living room and rumpus room, that offers extra accommodation options, all open onto the sunny deck that spans the length of the house.

There is direct access to the ocean down the track at the front of the bach and a private boat mooring available upon request. (BYO) Waterski, kayak and paddle board right from the edge of the property!

The entrance to the property is at the entrance of Akaroa's famous sculpture peninsula walk through the farmlands and around the headland to Takamatua. A winding creek filled with eels and whitebait meanders through to Children's Bay.

All this situated a short stroll into the village yet miles away for peace, relaxation and time out.

Tourist activities include both dolphin watching and swimming with dolphins, guided kayaking, fishing and swimming, hiking, walks and a relaxed village around which you can just stroll and enjoy the views, the people, the atmosphere...

The village boasts a decent sized supermarket, many cafes, tennis courts, skate park, bmx track, bowls club and a host of wonderful restaurants. The safe bay offers great walks and hikes, boutique shopping, galleries, wineries and and the famous Barry Point cheese factory.

This is truly a property where long-lasting memories are made

Review Score:   6
Summary: Very basic bach. Cold, some upgrading of appliances might be safer, furniture very old. On the expensive side for the level of facilities. Excellent views.
