4/10 Poor

I was very disappointed with this accommodation. The driveway was scary, the exterior had lots of moss on the bricks and tatty weeds on the driveway and paths, and it looked very tired. Inside, the exterior doors had significant cobwebs on the hinge parts of the frames. One of the televisions didn't work, one of the heaters didn't work, one of the fridges was set at freezer temp and froze my milk, eggs, lettuce, hummus solid. The lounge kitchen drawer was filthy, the west bathroom door's hook was broken, the view out of the lounge window had dead flax flowers and rust streaks.On a positive note, I loved discovering a Nespresso machine because I love coffee. Thanks for that. But I would not use this for any future stays in Akaroa. I truly expected better and was extremely disappointed.

Beautiful location but disappointing stay

Outside windows were stained and covered with cobwebs, gatden needs some trimming so you can enjoy the view. No wifi network at all. Cobwebs and spiders all through the inside and very dusty. Sticky surfaces. This place really needed a good clean. Location was beautiful and only took a small walk to get into town. We had booked for two nights but only atayed one. Definitely wish we had booked somewhere else.
