Log Cabin Vacation Retreat

This beautiful authentic log cabin Bach offers panoramic views of the bay and will have you relaxing in no time. A great sized section with petanque court and native planting that attracts kereru (Wood Pigeon), piwakawaka (fantail) and Korimako (bellbird) for a lovely morning chorus.
The Bach sleeps 10 with room in the 2nd and 3rd bedrooms for a stretcher or port-a-cot if needed (not supplied). The first bedroom has a queen bed, the second bedroom has a queen bed and the 3rd bedroom is a large mezzanine with a queen bed and 4 single beds.
Great indoor-outdoor flow to a large deck with views of the bay and perfect for a classic kiwi BBQ (provided) or watching the sun go down. There is an upstairs deck looking out to the heads which is a great place for a relaxed breakfast.
There is a dish washer and washing machine available (please bring your own washing powder/detergent) and a heat pump to keep you warm.
So much on offer in this stunning location with the beach and jetty just a couple of minutes walk and a longer walk out to the heads or a monument accessible right from the front door. It is also just a short drive to Akaroa, Purau, Pigeon Bay or Diamond Harbour for some further afield exploring.
There is limited / no cell phone coverage in Port Levy, so this is a fantastic place to escape from technology and truly unwind. We love that our batch has no TV and we enjoy wonderful days and evenings of games and socialising with family and friends.

Linen isn't provided so please bring your own.

Some pets maybe accepted. Please ask a question to discuss.

NOTE: Under Kiwi Bach tradition you are expected to: Leave the cabin clean and tidy and do the dishes before you leave.

The bach is well located in port Levy, a close 2 min walk to the jetty. The lical community are very friendly. Remember to buy all your supplies 8n Littleton or Diamond Harbour before going over the hill. It is quite a drive to shops from the bach. Views are breathtakingly beautiful. Bach is cosy and well equiped. Nights are pindrop quiet.
