    My Partner and I have visited Akaroa three times, the views are absolutely beautiful, the French heritage is evident, gardens are well maintained around the village. There are lots of little shops, cafes and restaurants to suit all.

    Lots to do here. Great shops and cafes/restaurants.

    Lots to do here. Great shops and cafes/restaurants. You must sail on the Fox II to see the dolphins, penguins and seals and learn about the local history. Outstanding! Very walkable town and also some good hiking.

    Akaroa is a must-visit township, it has some amazing cafes/restaurants, and the food is great and varied. Some of them have both inside and outside seating so it is lovely to take advantage of that on a nice day. There are also some great wee shops to visit where you can find a treasure of two. We found a gin-tasting cafe that is a must-visit when you are there and also an Indian Restaurant whose food was amazing. All the shops and cafes are within walking distance if your accommodation is in town. There are some great walks to go on and we also went swimming with the dolphins which is an experience I highly recommend when you are in Akaroa.

    We loved the quaint historic town.

    We loved the quaint historic town. We loved its French flavour. The cafe’s and restaurants outstanding especially Ma Maison where we had the best meal ever. The food, the flavours and the welcoming staff, outstanding! We had breakfast at The Common, again fabulous. We loved walking round the bay to the quay. Everyone was so friendly and happy to stop and talk. At the end of the quay was the prize, the beautiful pearl shop, an absolute must to visit. We can’t wait to return. Already planning a longer trip.

    I have been a regular visitor as my French ancestors founded it. The only thing that stops me coming more often is that dangerous-feeling hill up and down. Nice, quiet (mostly) place that focuses on food, events and nature. Need to put in a lot more effort to add more genuine French flavour to shops and activities. A simple Bonjour is not too difficult. Akaroa's true French nature is being dumbed down by new arrivals who are only interested in commerical gain.

    Fantastic location with a great view out the window. Nice and quiet, everything needed for a short stay. Bedrooms were super comfortable, but not a lot of space for luggage in the room so ended up with suitcase in the lounge. Check-in/pick up of the keys was at a hotel 1 minute walk up the road, so nice and easy. Entrance to carpark is a very narrow arch under the apartments, but once through plenty of space for turning and parking etc. Nice clear signs on where to park.

    The gas fireplace definitely took off the chill on the winter evenings. Everything looked to be meticulously cleaned, which is a very comforting touch. The remoteness away from the town makes this a very relaxing holiday cottage. Being able to use private cooking facilities meant we were able to have some lazy time at the cottage while reducing the cost of food by preparing ourselves.

    The location was quiet, loved waking up to the birdsong. The cottage had everything we needed, good cooking facilities, good sized fridge, washing facilities and the bed was very comfortable. The couches were comfortable. The pool was an extra bonus. Loved being away from the busy Akaroa village yet only 5 minutes away by car. Very much looking forward to staying again.

    What a gem! We had a fabulous stay here - the location is perfect for exploring the town, the room was super clean and comfortable, and breakfast was amazing. We especially loved spending time in the sitting room with the fireplace going - so cozy! Jacqui and Tim are wonderful hosts. If you're planning to visit Akaroa, look no further for the best accommodation!!

    Room 1 had a beautiful view of the Akaroa lake from its balcony. We enjoyed the sunset views from the room's balcony. Lyndal was very pleasant and patient with her explanation at the reception! The room is located near all the amenities in the town centre so it was very convenient to move around on foot.

    The whole experience whilst only an overnight stay was what we were looking for at the end of our 30+ day NZ holiday. Akaroa was much like we expected and really not too far from Christchurch airport ( 1hour 45 min ) Property was just great as was the host and the included breakfast was delicious.
