Elegant Coastal Escape with Pool and Harbour Views

MichelleRating, 5 stars3 months ago

What a beautiful home in a unique location. Our three generations gathered from three countries for a lovely 5 days together in Christchurch. The views from all levels of this home are over the top. With high end cookware, two dishwashers and (my personal favorite and usual airbnb pet peeve) sharp knives, we grilled and gathered for “dinners in” every night instead of going out. Great access to governors bay pier and coffee/pizza just a short walk away. Loved this place so much and would return in a heartbeat.

Escape to Duvauchelle

RebeccaRating, 5 stars2 months ago

Wonderful place for a large group. We were two families with grown teens and young adult children and we all had plenty of room to spread out and hang out. Comfortable and spacious house with an amazing outlook and a wonderful large front deck. The kitchen is large and very well stocked and the BBQ is well placed on the back deck beside the kitchen. Comfortable beds with high quality linens. Great walking tracks nearby and an easy drive into Akaroa or Barry's Bay. Had a fabulous time and hope we have a chance to return! Highly recommend.

If you're looking for a warm and cosy house with stunning views overlooking Diamond Harbour, this is the place to be! The spa was a perfect bonus to our relaxing weekend getaway. Kelsey and Guillaume are incredibly responsive and helpful hosts who have organized this house with great thought and full of amenities. Their instruction manual and guide gave us lots of ideas on what to do in the area. The driveway is a bit steep, but plenty of parking on the street also! Highly recommend - would definitely return!
