No wifi network at all. Cobwebs and spiders all through the inside and very dusty. Sticky surfaces. This place really needed a good clean. Location was beautiful and only took a small walk to get into town. We had booked for two nights but only atayed one. Definitely wish we had booked somewhere else. ##### Mel L. Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Nicholas C. 14 Jan 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, location, listing accuracy #### Excellent Property Lovely location and the access to Childrens Bay, Akaroa and the local walks.
