Had everything you need I suppose. Warm and clean.Lovely views and outlook. Piles under middle of house need some attention. Seems everything in the world is overpriced now, but I say it is a 200 a night room with a 200 a day view, so I guess it tracks. Overall good stay with 4 days of inclement weather.

Such a stunning view!! I could have sat in the spa soaking that in all day, especially when the sun is shining across the bay! The house is a perfect size for 2 adults with all that is needed to cook and have a few days out of the hustle and bustle. Akaroa is close by and there are plenty of great cafes and bars to eat at a short 10 min drive away.

Not worth the money

Bach has a nice hot tub, great view, but is very small. It wasn’t very clean either. So not really worth the money.
