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

Make yourself comfortable in this vacation home, which features a fireplace. There's a private patio. A kitchen is outfitted with a refrigerator, an oven, and a stovetop. Conveniences include a microwave and a coffee/tea maker.
Take in the views from a garden and make use of amenities such as barbecue grills.

Lovely stay. Peaceful outlook. Clean tidy and really nice to be able to take our dog on holiday with us. Just what we ordered. A little further from the beach than expected but easy quick car ride. The bird life was really special.

WONDERFUL holiday home

Would love to stay again. Nice and clean, great games and books, nature views, private and peaceful. Beautiful, gentle dog from a few houses down came to visit to ask for endless tummy rubs. We kept wishing she'd come back the next days (we were missing our dog who didn't end up coming with us)!

Great place to stay

It was a great experience staying in the property, very safe for kids and dog. 5 minutes drive to beach. Its a nice quiet place, sheep's, cows farms are around and natural habitats for lots of birds. Stream behing the property is great. Owner expect to clean the property at the end of your stay, it was ok for us to do, as much as we could.. definitely recommended.

Very nice house, and lovely location. Very quiet. Be aware that there are no shops in Le Bons Bay - not a problem, just need to be organised! Akaroa is only 20 mins away, beautiful drive and lovely town. The zipline and cemetery nearby are well worth a visit. Amazing countryside around. Small point, but water pressure is low, and the water pump is a little noisy - suggest turn off at night. No problem doing this; just turn it on again in the morning. It was lovely to stay here as the property was as advertised – I cannot say the same for other Bookabach properties. Immediately after staying here, we stayed at a “Cottage” in Windwhistle (the Granary) that turned out to be 2 cottages conjoined by a paper-thin wall. Very noisy - neighbours clumping up and down creaky stairs next door, talking (you can hear everything), being woken up (at night and morning). Awful. This Le Bons Bay property is the opposite – very nice and no “surprises”. Excellent.
