A lovely stay. Lots of room. A nice quiet location for our stay in Akaroa. Great beds, well equipped (Nespresso). Walk to town in about 15, or better up to Caldera Winery!!

An incredible house. Beautifully designed and a joy to stay in. The morning sun on the deck was just magic, with kererū swooping past and birdsong filling the day. Fantastic amenities throughout, and everything felt thoughtful and high quality. We absolutely loved our stay and would 100% come back.

Bellbird Bach

We loved our stay. The Bach was beautiful and conveniently located. We loved the ability to fully open the walls of doors and window - such a beautiful space. The bedrooms were comfortable and cozy. The hosts were friendly and very responsive. I highly recommend this home.

The Bellbird Bach is the Best!

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. Stay here if you can! And take good care of the Bellbird Bach : )
