Summer 2025 Fab in Le Bach

Our large extended family with multiple younger children so enjoyed staying at le Bach this summer. So many different spaces in the house for rest, quiet, catching up, having fun, enjoying sun, watching birds, cooking up large... Fantastic place for a large family, with lots of things for kids and families to do together, very nice walks nearby including down to town, and wonderful views.

Family Getaway from Christchurch

A large house with lots of different rooms, lots of bathrooms, well set up for children, great views. There was a cold snap while we were there, but the log fire works well and 2 heat pumps help. Lovely short walk into the town. Beautiful views. Great communication from hosts.

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.

Wonderful family weekend away

If anything, our expectations were well and truly exceeded. Fantastic location within walking distance of township and amenities - albeit a bit of a hill to hike up. Great views of the harbour, hills and general landscape. Beautiful sunset and sunrises. We celebrated a birthday here with all children and grandchildren. Plenty of room and space in and out of the home. Kitchen and bathroom facilities were excellent. Home was very safe for little people. Good parking. We had such a wonderful weekend away and I would highly recommend this home. We will return.
