Such a stunning view!! I could have sat in the spa soaking that in all day, especially when the sun is shining across the bay!
The house is a perfect size for 2 adults with all that is needed to cook and have a few days out of the hustle and bustle.
Akaroa is close by and there are plenty of great cafes and bars to eat at a short 10 min drive away.

Not worth the money
Bach has a nice hot tub, great view, but is very small. It wasn’t very clean either. So not really worth the money.
