Bayview Retreat

Breathtaking views and fantastic outdoor living will be the stars of a getaway to this gorgeous Banks Peninsula holiday home. Welcome to Bayiew Retreat! Sitting high above Duvauchelle Bay and just a 12-minute drive from Akaroa Village, this absolute beauty offers enough space for the whole family to spread out and relax on holiday. Sliding glass doors from the top floor, open-plan living space create seamless indoor-outdoor flow onto the deck. Prepare a delicious charcuterie platter in your fully equipped kitchen and enjoy a glass of wine against the ultimate backdrop; the glass balustrades ensuring nothing obstructs the view over the bay. When the weather has you snuggling up indoors, heaters in every room mean you'll be toasty warm, and a TV with Chromecast and basic Sky TV is on hand for some family entertainment. Complimentary WiFi also ensures you stay connected throughout your stay. This top floor is ideal for a couple's getaway with everything you need for a fantastic stay, but wander downstairs and find yourself in another haven for relaxation! Two bedrooms and a bathroom await, as well as an impressive cliff top BBQ deck, calling out to host alfresco dinners. Duvauchelle Bay is a wonderfully quiet spot to unwind, while still being just a short drive, or 20-minute catamaran ride, from Akaroa. Visit Akaroa to enjoy delicious food, check out boutique shopping, and head out on a cruise to spot unique wildlife. If you’re staying close to home you can grab a coffee and a bite to eat at the Duvauchelle Store, or play a round of golf at the Akaroa Golf Club, both just four minutes drive away. Your relaxing escape awaits, here at Bayiew Retreat! Great news – Bachcare provides cleaning and linen services for all HomeAway bookings.
