Chemin Wonder - Akaroa Holiday Home
Basking in all-day sun, the large open plan living and dining area flows effortlessly through French doors to an expansive, sheltered hardwood deck with a sun canopy, perfect for relaxing or entertaining.
Featuring a tastefully decorated interior with naturally warm solid wood pine walls, the lounge is perfect for your relaxation and entertainment; boasting quality furnishings which include a large & very comfortable lounge suite, a Rimu coffee table, a 65" Samsung smart TV with Sky TV & Sports, Fibre internet with a wireless printer (great for those on a working holiday!)
The adjoining dining area has a 6-seater table, with a window overlooking the small garden. The kitchen is also well-equipped with the essentials for whipping up homestyle meals at your pleasure.
The generous main bedroom features double wardrobes and opens onto the deck. Both bedrooms provide an excellent sanctuary for a couple/small family and frame a wonderful view of the lush garden, hills and the sea over Children Bay. The spacious bathroom is equipped with a separate shower, a full bath, and a heater. A laundry area with a quality washing machine and dryer is also available next to a door that opens to the backyard with a clothesline if you prefer drying your clothes under the sun. Talk about total holiday convenience with all these amenities!
Chemin Wonder is just a 15-minute stroll to the main shops, only a 5-minute walk to the nearest excellent cafe/restaurant at the Grand Hotel, and a short drive to exciting attractions such as the Akaroa Dolphins and the harbour.
Enjoy a peaceful and memorable sun-filled getaway in beautiful Akaroa!
Please note there are surveillance cameras at this property, placed in the outdoor areas for added security during your stay.
Please note that the parking area on the driveway can have a maximum of 2 cars only. Another parking option is on the street, approximately 100m away.
As the mezzanine barrier is below 1 metre high, all guests should take care in this area due to the risk of falls.
Please note that the darts are not suitable for children.
Please note a bond may be charged at certain times of the year. One of our team members will contact you if this is required for your booking.
