Bay View Family Retreat — Harbour Views

A single-level home with expansive views over Duvauchelle Bay, in one of the most peaceful corners of Banks Peninsula. Warm in winter, cool in summer, with a balcony and garden made for the view. A scenic 15-minute drive from Akaroa village.

Bay View Family Retreat sits above Duvauchelle with wide, uninterrupted views over the bay. It's a private, single-level house — no stairs — which makes it easy and relaxed for small families and couples alike.

The living spaces are comfortable, with a large TV and a contemporary kitchen set up for easy self-catering. Two bedrooms sleep up to four (a Queen plus a twin room), and you'll have the whole house to yourselves — no shared spaces.

Duvauchelle is the quiet alternative to staying in the village: you've got the local hotel, convenience store, boat ramp and golf course close by, and Akaroa's beaches, cafés and restaurants are a scenic 15-minute drive around the harbour. Off-street parking is included.

It is a short drive to Akaroa or shops/restaurants but amazing place. The view is stunning and the cabin is great. I’ll come back
