Rose on the Bay - Akaroa Holiday Home

Finding your own little haven for relaxation won’t be a problem at this absolutely gorgeous Akaroa accommodation, where the gardens invoke a feeling of serenity and the harbour views take your breath away. Welcome to Rose on the Bay!

Spread across two levels and boasting four bedrooms, two bathrooms and great indoor and outdoor living, there’s ample space for everyone to come together at this family and pet friendly holiday home.

Natural light pours into this home through an abundance of picture windows, revealing lovely harbour views that make the perfect backdrop for a tranquil getaway. Three ranch sliders provide seamless indoor-outdoor flow on to the wrap around deck for fresh coastal air and fantastic alfresco dining, with a soundtrack of native birdsong.

The semi-open-plan living space will certainly become the hub of the home, furnished for comfort and equipped with a heat pump and ceiling fan for temperature control. A Smart TV with all the bells and whistles, and complimentary WiFi, are on hand for entertainment and connectivity, while a fully equipped kitchen, complete with a Nespresso machine and complimentary coffee pods, offers everything you need to self-cater your stay.

If you're looking for a cool and shady spot to enjoy a date with your book and a glass of wine, the rear deck is the place to be; the kids and the dog enjoying the lush lawn and the sunshine.

Four bedrooms, including a top-level space set up with the kids in mind, comfortably sleep up to nine guests here at Rose on the Bay. A bathroom on each level, plus a full laundry, complete the setup for your stay.

It’s an easy 1.2km walk to the Akaroa Village from Harbour View, where you’ll find a great selection of shops, cafes, bars and restaurants. Stroll along the foreshore with an ice-cream, or book yourself on a dolphin watching cruise to spot the native New Zealand Hector’s Dolphin!

If you’ve brought the boat, there’s space to park it at Rose on the Bay, and the nearest ramp to launch from is just a three-minute drive away. If you want to take the kids for a swim, the beach at French Bay is just a five-minute drive from your home away from home.

When you’re looking for a seaside getaway for your family, Rose on the Bay will not disappoint!
Please note a bond may be charged at certain times of the year. One of our team members will contact you if this is required for your booking.While the property welcomes pets, it isn't fully fenced so pet owners need to keep an eye on their pets at all times.

Lovely location, very easy place to live
Both 'older adults' and younger ones loved our stay here. Plenty of room to stretch out and an easy stroll to the Garden of Tane and downtown Akaroa. We appreciated the dog-friendly environment also. It will be our first choice to stay when we go back to Akaroa

Perfect for a group getaway
This was a great property for our group of five adults and a dog. Four bedrooms meant we all had our own space and the open plan living was great for shared meals and entertaining drop-in visitors. Plenty of toys for little ones, hundreds of CDs, some DVDs, books and Netflix on the smart TV kept us well entertained. Even bowls and bed for the four-legged member of our group. Check-in was a bit gnarly (wrong pin provided) but the Bachcare 0800 number was a quick call and they got us sorted in ten minutes. This was a well-stocked house in reasonably tidy and clean condition. It would be great if other pet owners cleaned up the outdoor mess - perhaps a condition that should be put on the property. Lovely gardens and outdoor areas. Totally instagrammable house. Quick walk to lighthouse and town through the Garden of Tane. We’d rent again!
