Large home suitable for a large group or family. Well equipped kitchen. Option of hiring linen for a fee or bringing your own. The location was great, beautiful view from the deck and short drive to the main street.The house unfortunately had a really musty smell, particularly in the laundry,we aired the home out while we were there but it was noticeable every time we returned. We didnt use the sleepout but the area between the sleepout and the house needed attention to get rid of all the leaves, fallen apples and overgrown paths. We did enjoy our stay but just pointing out those couple of things so the owners know and have the opportunity to rectify.

Hi Heather. Thanks for your comments. We have noticed that musty smell from time to time. We think it is possibly coming from our washing machine. But apart from replacing the machine, there is not a lot we can do. Also we have had an exceptional amount of rain this season. Because the house is on a slope, we think a lot of water migrates down through our back yard and under the house. We are looking at options to negate this too. Fair comment about the state of the back yard. We have probably let things slip over the last few Months. We are happy for people to make these comments. There is always things we can improve on. We would be happy to have you back for another stay.

Lovely views and plenty of space

This was a great place for two families to stay. The views from the deck were amazing. The kitchen was well equipped, and there was plenty of space for us all. The location was great, a bit of hill walking but not too far into town.

Great place to stay

Le Bach is in a perfect location, easy walk to the beach and shops. The house is lovely, very large, and very well equipped. We used it for a writing retreat and it had everything we needed. We particular appreciated the big dining table to work on. The beds were very comfortable.

Hi We purchased this property in 2018 having been a visitor to the Akaroa district for many years. We love the friendly small town atmosphere that Akaroa offers. The area has something for everyone. We love getting out on the water - fishing diving waterskiing etc. If you are into walking or mountain biking, there are many varied trails close in hand.

What makes this property unique

We are happy to supply linen if required. The charge for bed linen and towels is $25 per room per stay
