About this property
Maison du Campagne in French Farm, Akaroa
Are you looking for a classic Akaroa Harbour experience, but just can't seem to find an authentic property to fulfil the dream? Are you looking for stunning harbour or restful garden and rural views from every window? Are you looking for modern technological convenience, state of the art kitchen and well-appointed bedrooms? Could you believe that such a place exists, just 60 minutes from Christchurch and less than 20 minutes around the harbour from Akaroa town?
Look no further. This is it!
Whether you are a couple looking for a special self-contained and private getaway, or a family seeking a weekend break from the hustle of Christchurch city, Maison du Campagne will tick every box. Stunningly equipped at every turn, this house is ready to occupy and to be enjoyed for a multifaceted pallet of features that few can rival.
The house itself boasts 3 bedrooms, two double with en suites, and one set up for children. The beds are comfortable and conducive to that perfect sleep, so elusive in one's everyday life. In the morning, throw open the curtains and stand there and just take it all in: Onawe peninsular jutting jaunty and imposing across the reflective inner harbour; the part-reforested slopes of the Eastern harbour rim and the blue, blue sky of another perfect French Farm day.
Hungry? Time to brew that coffee and sit outside on any of the three patios with your breakfast. Fancy a few berries to sprinkle on your muesli? Go help yourself - the garden will provide home-grown seasonal produce to enhance your stay.
What will you do now? Drive south down the western edge of the harbour, ascend the Jubilee to the Summit road, or continue around to the Southern Bays. Or perhaps drive down into Tikao Bay for a swim and a picnic, just minutes from the bach.
Further afield, explore Barrys Bay for cheeses, Duvauchelles for golf or continue around to the amenities of Akaroa itself: Dolphin encounters, Harbour tours, nature reserves, cafes and bars. Special conditions: Two day (or more) stays only thanks. Smoking only outside. Two small water features: please supervise toddlers.
Extras: Linen (included);

Our 3rd time visiting this idyllic place, and although it’s been a few years it still didn’t fail to disappoint. We had relatives from Napier with us this time and they were absolutely blown away by the property and the garden. Thanks again and we look forward to our next visit.
Amazing, unique house in an absolutely stunning location! Very comfortable with incredibly thoughtful little touches. We were on a multi-generational family trip and both my boys and my elderly mum absolutely loved this place. We wished we could have stayed longer!
OMG! What a wonderful house to stay in! If you want somewhere to unwind and relax look no further. It is such a comfy, quiet and well appointed house - it is beautiful. I’m already planning to return, but for a longer stay.Akaroa is a beautiful location and there is an amazing view around every corner. You will need to travel about 20 minutes via car into Akaroa itself but that means lots of lovely views and a house in a quite location. Thank you Danielle
Absolute treasure, sea views, beautiful spacious holiday home and tranquil garden. Loved our stay and will definitely be back. It is such a special place and our hosts are very generous sharing their slice of paradise.
Was a fabulous stay, had everything you could think of, lots of curios to look at. Will love to experience summer there

The kitchen was fully equipped with generous extras for guest use.
There is a general store in nearby Duvauchelle and also in Akaroa, 20 minutes drive away.
Exceeded expectations. It truly is a home away from home. Full of charm and character. It has everything you need and more! Stunning views, in a nice quiet location. Be sure to try the local cheese & wine - only a few minutes drive from the house! It was a great base for us to explore the wider Banks Peninsula area.
