SEACLUSION: Great Water Views, Wonderful for Big Families & Groups

The perfect place for large groups or several families to holiday together… This spacious 5-bedroom home is superbly configured to help guests come together when they want to and have privacy when they don’t.

Downstairs includes the kitchen, dining and living rooms as well as separate toilet, bathroom with shower, 2 large bedrooms featuring water views and Queen beds, and a third bedroom with single bunk beds.

The kitchen comes totally equipped with everything imaginable including an XL airfryer, dishwasher, nespresso machine (BYO pods), kitchenaid stand mixer, blender, toastie and smoothie maker. An 8-seater dining table facilitates communal feasting and competitive board-gaming, and the expansive lounge has a 75" smart tv and Bluetooth speakers. Unlimited wifi, SKY (including Sports), an extensive DVD and games collection as well as plenty of books and magazines provide numerous options for rainy/lazy days.

Upstairs is a huge Master bedroom featuring a Californian King bed, office desk and sitting area overlooking the water, a flat screen TV with DVD player and chrome cast and an ensuite. Between the ensuite and the Master room is a smaller bedroom with single bed trundler and additional room for a portacot if needed. The deck has fantastic views right down to the harbour and is the place to be for tea, coffee and books during the day or sundowners into the evening.

This property comes beautifully equipped for young families with 2 portacots, a highchair for babies, a wooden highchair for toddlers, an umbrella stroller, body board, books and toys provided. For the adults there is a games room in the garage which includes a 7ft pool table and dart board. There is also plenty of gym equipment for those who like to earn their down time.

In the cooler months heat-pumps in the lounge and Master bedrooms, individual heaters in other bedrooms, electric blankets for the Queen beds and extra blankets are available to keep you toasty warm.

There is plenty of parking both on-site (including one space under a carport) and off for a boat and cars.

This home is maintained to an excellent standard by a fabulous local cleaner, and linen and towels are included in the cost so you can pack light! Please note that bed making and bbq/games room cleaning is not included in order to keep costs to a minimum.

Located down a private drive and surrounded by native birds you will find this home to be incredibly peaceful while being only a 10-minute walk down the hill into town, making it a great base from which to explore and enjoy beautiful Akaroa.

* This home is situated in a family friendly neighbourhood and isn't available for parties.
* 1 Night stays may be available as last-minute gap fillers - please enquire
* Additional $100 applies per stay for cleaning and linen/towel provision

Akaroa Hide Away
After we found the right road (there was no road sign at the start of the road) and negotiated the steep drive we found a very pleasant and well-appointed property. It had everything you need for group or family holiday. There are some repairs needed in the downstairs bathroom, but everything worked well. We were an older group of men and had plenty to do and a family group would find even more.

Perfect for family!
This was perfect for our family stay of 6 adults, 1 x 7 year old and a 7 month old baby. Well equipped and with plenty to keep the 7 year old amused especially as the weather was very wet! We will return sometime!

two day family stay
We were happy with the accomodation, although a little tired. It rained all weekend and were impressed at all the games and entertainment available to keep the kids and ourselves occupied. Over all, a very relaxing weekend.
