Secluded Stream Side Bungalow

Only 90 minutes from Christchurch you will find this secluded property nestled between the old school and architecturally renowned St Andrews Church. The property is situated four kilometers from the beach, this stream side bungalow provides a relaxing break away.

You are twenty minutes from Akaroa which has a number of amenities. You are a short distance from a number of walks if you want to explore the Peninsular or simply relax and enjoy the native Kereru and Fantail that inhabit the surrounding trees.

For the children there is a stream at the back of the property which will keep them entertained for hours. The property is fenced although for those intent on escaping it is not fully secure.

The property is minutes from the beach and domain that contains tennis court, kids play ground, flying fox, basketball hoop and rope swing. The beach is safe for kids and there is a river at the southern end of the beach which is a perfect place to play and explore. Seals can often be seen playing around the rocks and Dolphins are often spotted in the bay.

The house has been renovated and has been tastefully decorated. This is an ideal destination for families and couples looking for a relaxing get away.

NOTE: Under Kiwi bach tradition you are expected to: Clean the house and do the dishes before you leave; Bring your own towels and sheets, tee towels etc

Peaceful location, just what we wanted. Great place to get away from it all. Water pressure and temperature are not the best and the water pump is very noisy - these are just nit picking critiques of what is otherwise a great bach. Would certainly go back there.

Lovely wee getaway

Great little bach. Homely feel and so close to the beach which the kids loved, especially exploring the rock pools. Nice wee stream in the back garden, great place for an Easter getaway and egg hunt
