- "Great stay over a long weekend. The house was larger than expected and had everything we needed. The house is at the top of a very steep hill so we ended up driving closer to the shops instead of walking in." - "The house was perfect for our family of 5. Very well maintained and plenty of room kids and adults alike. All the amenities are in good condition and there’s everything you need for a lovely stay. The location was perfect. A stunning view over the valley, lots of sun and just a short walk into Akaroa. I had a couple of queries of my own making and Dave was super helpful and really responsive…an excellent host."

The bedrooms were comfortable and cozy. The hosts were friendly and very responsive. I highly recommend this home." - "Lisa and Paul's bach is perfectly situated between the town/beach and the waterfall on the outskirts of Akaroa on the Banks Peninsula. With an easy walk (via a bridge over the stream) to everything Akaroa has to offer and a short drive to all of Banks, it couldn't be in a better location in the woods and amongst the song birds yet north-facing and receiving a ton of sunlight. And the house itself is gorgeous and fun, with everything you need, nothing you don't need, and the perfectly sized for a couple or even several people. We were lucky enough to stay here for an extended period of time and recommend the home -- and Lisa and Paul who will make sure you are well taken care of -- with the greatest possible enthusiasm.
