Anne 
“The house was very comfortable and quiet, but the outside was a mess.”
Leaves and litter at the front door are not very appealing. The decks both sides of the house were covered in leaves and dust and the outdoor furniture was very dusty. The view would have been great if we could have looked at it through clean windows!

We apologize for the condition of the outdoor areas and understand the importance of a clean exterior. We’ll address the leaves, litter, and dusty furniture, and ensure the windows are cleaned regularly so guests can fully enjoy the views. Your input helps us improve, and we’ll take extra care in maintaining these areas moving forward. We hope to welcome you back for a better experience in the future. Bachcare

Kirstie “The location is great.”
Cleanliness was excellent. The property requires maintenance. There are doors that don’t close, the outside had old furniture that needed to go to the dump. Outside lights didn’t work making it tough going to BBQ!
- Kirstie, April 2023Thank you for reviewing your recent stay, Kirstie. We appreciate your feedback on the maintenance that is needed at the property. This is being discussed with the local team and the property owner. Bachcare
Michael “Great location & lovely home with large lounge and dining rooms.”
- Michael, February 2023Helen “The property was very spacious and in a fantastic location.”
It was in a quiet cul-de-sac but only a few minutes walk to the town. The views from the balcony were lovely. Unfortunately a few things let it down a little. Cleaning could have been better. There were crumbs in the kitchen and thick dust on the drawers in the master. The bathroom toilet bin had not been emptied from previous people, so I did that. There was not enough toilet roll for 6 people (previous people have complained about this and the comments showed more provisions would be available), we paid for linen and not all pillows had pillowcases on them. There were no locks on either toilet door. A little more effort would make it a fantastic place.
- Helen, January 2023Thank you for your review, Helen. We are very sorry to hear there were issues with the cleanliness and amenities of the property. We've addressed these issues with our local team. Thank you for taking the time to provide this feedback as we are always working on improving the care of our properties. Bachcare
Duncan “Have stayed here before but we should have been warned about the condition of the house.”
1/ Toilet in en-suite not to be used and out of order and no door catch. 2/ Other upstairs toilet struggled to flush properly and door catch installed the wrong way round. 3/ No lights working in passage or stairwell 4/Bathroom Shower rose falling down on friction control 5/Screws in top hinge on bathroom door flagged out so door won't shut properly. 6/ Plug with WiFi on it wouldn't work vacuum cleaner. Bit short on good glasses. The house is ideal for 6 to 8 people and we made do with any inadequacies ,but we should have been warned about the things I have mentioned.
- Duncan, October 2022Hi Duncan, We are sorry to hear about your most recent experience with your stay. These items have now been rectified in full and thank you for bringing this to our attention. We do hope to have you stay again in the future. Bachcare
Grant “Great location nice in quiet house and outdoors needs tidying up”
- Grant, March 2022Carolyn “House was nice and spacious, beds very comfortable.”
Fantastic location and views. However the house lacked basic amenities like kitchen cleaning products and basic pantry staples you would expect when paying this amount for house. Had to buy toilet paper and various other cleaning products that one would have thought would be available.
- Carolyn, March 2022Joshua “Great house for large groups of people with plenty of parking, was very spacious, and is close to Akaroa Village.”
Would highly recommend.

- Louise, November 2021Lesley “Lovely house.”
Had enjoyable stay.
- Lesley, October 2021Beverley “Great house with a nice view.”
Spacious and with excellent facilities inside and out. The Kitchen had good plenty of crockery and utensils. The only thing that would stop us renting this property again is that it is just too big for us and that is not a bad thing.

It’s location is very close to the beach and shops and has a beautiful outlook of sea and hills. The neighbouring properties are a lovely setting and the people are very friendly and welcoming too.

- Amy, October 2019Duncan “We had a catchup of old friends and this house was perfect for the 7 of us to meet.”

- Bevan, June 2019Yvonne “Lovely place to stay.”
Very good for groups
- Yvonne, June 2019Jo “This holiday home more than delivered.”
The weather was very bad during our stay however the beds were comfortable and warm, the central heating kept the house toasty during our entire stay and the internal garaging kept us dry while getting in and out of the car. The view was ever-changing but especially beautiful when the sun did peep through.

The property
Resting on the hillside up against the lush native bush of Stanley Park, Rue Noyer Lookout was built to embrace the scenery of Akaroa countryside and the waters of Akaroa Harbour. This holiday home has a large open plan living space that is filled with natural light and connects itself to the balcony that spans the length of the front of the house. So for those mornings spent taking in the fresh air, step out to the balcony straight from the master bedroom! If you're planning a summer escape, then you can't go wrong here at Rue Noyer Lookout. With indoor/outdoor flow from the living areas, air conditioning to set the perfect temperature for you and your family and BBQ on hand for those classic kiwi summers dinners. Stay home and enjoy some downtime with the family or venture out to explore Akaroa. You'll love being just a 5-minute walk from the downtown waterfront and wharf, local restaurants, cottage library and cafe/movie theatre! Relax in comfort and take in the views of Rue Noyer Lookout!
