Our stay

We had great, fast communication with Lesley throughout which was a great start and we got to Duvachelle to discover a lovely spacious home with a relaxed feel with everything you needed and more. With a 6 month old it was so well set up with a washing machine and separate end of the house bedrooms. Super handy to the launching ramp and close by to the amentiites of both Duvachelle and Akaroa. Lesley even empties the dishwasher and washes the bedding if your require- great value and homely vibe Thankyou :)

Great spot

Great house with lots of room, both inside and outside. Lovely location, and the house was well appointed. Lesley was a great host, even bringing us around an iron when we needed one. We would definitely stay again. Thank you for having us.

Easter Break

Overall, very clean, comfy, well serviced house. Peaceful location. Pool table could not be used properly as one pool cube did not have a tip and we noticed the top on one side was coming away. Not by us! Would certainly stay there again if needed for family
