“Great house, very clean and tidy.”

There was a note saying the heat pump wasn't working... this was a bit annoying as the mornings were a little chilly without it. The fire was perfect in the evenings though! The power points in the bedroom closest to the road weren't working when we arrived... we did figure out the fuse had blown but for people less 'switched on' this could have been a problem! Overall though we had a lovely stay and recommend this property. Thanks for sharing it!

Thank you for reviewing your stay, Joanne. The property owner has since notified us that there has been a new heat pump installed and the note has now been removed. We can definitely understand the inconvenience this would have caused for your trip, so we appreciate the feedback shared. Bachcare

“We feel that if this lovely place is unoccuppied 24 hours before holiday makers arrive , it would be great to have the hot water cylinder turned on 24 hours before hand.”

As we had no hot water at all until the next day at Lunchtime. otherwise we arrived to a lovely warm house, which was very welcoming. We had a lovely view from the lounge, and enjoyed seeing the native birds in the area especially the resident Native Wood pigeon. will come again, Thank you.

Thank you for reviewing your recent stay, Chris. We appreciate your feedback on your holiday spent here and wanted to provide a response to your comments. It was our error to not have the hot water ready for your arrival and have since reviewed our processes. This should not be an issue for future stays here. As such, we look forward to potentially hosting you again. Bachcare

“The house was very comfortable and clean, we enjoyed the view and appreciated the garden.”

We also enjoyed being able to just walk to downtown Akaroa for the shops and restaurants. We arrived very late on a rainy evening so it would have been nice to have the heat pump working but once we got the fire going, it warmed the living space very effectively. We would happily stay there again.

- Paul, November 2022

Thanks for your feedback Paul. Glad you enjoyed the stay! The owners have advised us that they took your feedback onboard and have since installed a brand new heat pump. We hope you will take this into consideration next time you are looking to book a stay in the area. Hope to see you again soon! Bachcare

“The house, rooms, wifi and kitchen facilities were good and the batch was very clean.”

Unfortunately the hot water had been turned off when we arrived and we didn't realise until the following morning (we weren't informed about this anywhere). We then turned the system on but it took the cylinder 24 hours to heat up. This meant that we didn't have hot water for the first day and a half. We contacted batch care mutliple times over the Saturday and their responses, particularly on Saturday afternoon (the morning assistant returned our calls and checked up regularly) were very unprofessional. We were told the property manager would check in with us which they never did and the afternoon helpdesk also didn't follow up on what they said they would do. We were extremely disappointed with this as it meant that we didn't know what was happening; whether the system was faulty or whether we had done something wrong. Also, not having access to hot water over Friday and Saturday for general cleaning and showering three children and two adults was really not acceptable.

Hi Thomas. Thanks for leaving a review on your holiday spent at Libeau Lane Views. Your comments have been discussed with the property owner and local team, who wanted to address the issue with the hot water. Firstly, let me apologise that the communication your received from us was so poor. This has since been investigated and addressed with our teams. The property owner has informed us that there may be some confusion around the hot water cylinder controls, so there is now a clear label next to the switch. It is disappointing to hear of this issue, as I can understand this would have a significant effect on the overall experience of staying here. I am glad that this has now been addressed. Bachcare
