On the ground floor there are 3 bedrooms, a bathroom and kitchen/dining/lounge, all easily accessible for those who find stairs tricky.

Upstairs is a huge Master Bedroom with California King bed and ensuite, a private sitting area overlooking the water, office desk, and flat-screen TV with DVD player and chrome cast. An ottoman that opens out into a single bed offers more sleeping options. Between the ensuite and the Master room is a smaller bedroom with single bed trundler and additional room for a portacot if needed.

The deck has fantastic views right down to the harbour and is the place to be for tea, coffee and books during the day or sundowners into the evening.

The kitchen comes totally equipped with everything imaginable including an XL airfryer, dishwasher, espresso machine, nespresso machine (BYO ground beans and pods), kitchenaid stand mixer, toastie maker, blender and smoothie maker. An 8-seater dining table facilitates communal feasting and competitive board-gaming, and the expansive lounge has a 75 smart tv and Bluetooth speakers. Unlimited wifi, SKY (including Sports), an extensive DVD and games collection as well as plenty of books and magazines provide numerous options for rainy/lazy days.

Young families are fully catered for, with 2 portacots with mattresses, baby bath, baby gate, mocka highchair, a stepped wooden highchair for toddlers, umbrella stroller, body board, books and toys all provided. For the older crew, there is a games room with couches, a 7ft pool table, and dart board. There are weights with a weights bench for those who like to earn their down time :)

In the cooler months, heat-pumps in the lounge and Master bedrooms, individual heaters in other bedrooms, electric blankets for the Queen beds and extra blankets are available to keep you toasty warm.

There is plenty of parking both on-site (including one space under a carport) and off for a boat and cars.

This home is maintained to an excellent standard by a fabulous local cleaner and linen and towels are included in the cost so you can pack light! Please note that bed-making and bbq/games room cleaning is not included in order to keep costs to a minimum.

Located down a private drive and surrounded by native birds you will find this home to be incredibly peaceful while being only a 10-minute walk down the hill into town, making it a great base from which to explore and enjoy beautiful Akaroa.

    Host was very friendly & welcoming. It was a very well equipped house. We had 4 generations staying & found the house had all we needed from pots, pans, crockery, 2 coffee machines, all the linen required plus the toys/books for our great grandchildren to use were much appreciated too. Unfortunately Settlers Hill is not sign posted on Rue Balguerie so 4 of our party missed the turn off. I know this is not the hosts fault. We had a wonderful stay thank you.

    Large family home,great toys for kids and pool table a bonus. Very good communication and clear instructions on how to enter property. A narrow and steep road up to house limits ability to walk to town with small children.

    Lovely view over Akaroa Harbour from upstairs. We enjoyed our stay. The house was large and just accommodated us all. A couple of wee things like some coffee pods and the beds made as we paid for the linen and towel option would have been good. Overall our stay was very comfortable thanks.

    Plenty of room for our group of 8 ladies - this house had everything we needed and was in a great location. Lots of room to spread out and relax. Well appointed kitchen & pantry, and more than enough wine glasses :-)

    We enjoyed our stay and liked being able to walk into town(15min walk). The view from the master bedroom balcony was lovely! Annette did a great job of keeping in touch and providing all the information we needed. The only suggestion we had to be a 5 star rating would be to update some of the furnishings/decor.

    The house was perfect for our family holiday. Unfortunately the weather was terrible and we only had one sunny day. The games room was a blessing. Driveway was challenging with a boat but we managed. A good time was had by us all.

    Was happy with this property and ease of checkin. It has everything you need for a long weekend with nothing locked away - kids toys, books, fishing rod - even bait you can use. Thanks for the stay.
