*Top single bunk - maximum weight of 60kgs

We don’t have WIFI, so enjoy reading some books, playing games, watching movies (there is a small range of DVDs available) or just sit back and listen to the birds chirping!

Enjoy walks and swims down at the beach as well as a short drive to some local wineries.

Akaroa is only a 20min drive if you want to explore some of the local shops or have a meal out. The Duvauchelle Pub also does great meals!

Tea, Coffee, Sugar, cooking oil, salt & pepper, laundry powder is available for use.

There is no shop in Wainui so it’s important to come prepared. The closest shop is Duvauchelle.

Please be aware that there is no railing around the deck so there is a need to be mindful with small children and the drop off it.

Incredibly peaceful and quiet. The birds were incredible to see and hear! Easy walk (at the end of the cul-de-sac at the bottom of the hill) to the beach by way of a mowed path. Beautiful!
