Property Description

On Highway 75 and overlooking Akaroa Harbour and Onawe Peninsula, Twin Gullies lies nestled amongst bush, an orchard, paddocks and garden in it’s own secluded five acre little world.
The original farm cottage and converted out-buildings date back to the early 1880’s. Twin Gullies offers two self contained units each with loft accommodation.
From the upstairs bedrooms of The Stable and The Barn there are spectacular views across the garden and rolling farmland, on to Barrys Bay and Onawe Peninsula and out to the Akaroa Heads.
As keen restorers of old buildings and lovers of Banks Peninsula, hosts Victoria and Doug are realising a long held dream with their adopted rural lifestyle which they are eager to share with both local and overseas visitors.
Guests have complete privacy, but the whole property, which is constantly being improved, is there to explore and enjoy.
While the more energetic are keen to investigate the whole area, others are content to breathe the country air and take in the view from a seat in the garden.
Because of its position at the head of the harbour, Twin Gullies is ideally situated for you to enjoy all that the Akaroa Harbour area has to offer.

Local Area Information

During summer, there is good swimming at both Wainui and Tikao Bay.
Okains Bay has an excellent Colonial Museum and a lovely white sand beach and you can have a Devonshire tea in Little Akaloa, at Chorlton Hall.

If you fancy a drink and a meal in a rural atmosphere, the Duvauchelle Hotel is only 3 minutes away, or you could head round to French Farm
Winery for a special lunch. Also close by is an excellent golf course and club hire can be easily arranged.
