Beautiful cabin with everything you could need and more. Loved the claw foot bath and outdoor shower amongst the trees and birdsong. Just perfect! Thanks for having us will be back again

Fresh baguette, fruit, preserves and cereals were delicious and generously provided. Property was beautiful and unique. Wildlife right at the doorstep with more tuī than I have ever seen in the wild, kererū, bell birds and then morepork owls heard at night. Lovely sheep on the walk up the farm with spectacular views of the Harbour. Loved every bit of it.

Absolutely beautiful surrounds with a gorgeous wee cabin. Large deep bath inside and outdoor shower with epic views of the trees and birdlife. Cosy, warm, clean with internet signal, books, cards, etc. This is a unique accommodation option so if you’re looking for a different experience where you can enjoy nature then I recommend this place. Great customer service with fresh baguette and home made jams.

“Private and peaceful getaway in a little corner of native forest”

Located in the trees, birdsong was incredible. Peaceful and relaxing and private.

“Bird song”

The bird life

“Maximum relaxation amongst the trees.”

The location was perfect, and the hut is beautiful, tucked away amongst the trees and the birdlife. The bath and the outdoor shower amongst the trees, are so relaxing. It is easy to walk into town and there are various hikes directly from the house. With a car the entire peninsula and all the beaches are a little drive away. The owners are so lovely and have created a perfect little getaway.

“Double room, cosy cabin”

Location amongst forest and birds. Very tranquil. The shower is outdoors in the open which was lovely. Nice bath with candles.

“Gorgeous, loved it!!!”

Kanuka Retreat is a quirky and gorgeous cottage set amongst the trees. So peaceful and tranquil, a perfect place to simply relax and enjoy the birdsong. Close to Akaroa village.

Full of character, great privacy, beautiful area. . Our favourite place

“Stunning location & property”

The most gorgeous cabin with lots of thoughtful touches by the owners. The pictures on booking.com really don’t do it justice. We loved walking around the land up to the vineyard & to see the sheep. The location is idyllic, an absolute 5 star stay

“A true retreat”

We loved the setting - peaceful and private with only the sounds of the stream and the beautiful birdsong. A wonderful oasis to slow down and relax.

Wonderful location and great hosts - such a unique and cozy experience with a lot of thought employed into making it blend into beautiful surrounding and be a unique experience - we will be back !
