Great house close to everything in Akaroa. Had all we needed as a group of 6 adults and 2 small dogs. Very comfortable for our family group, which included 2 adult daughters who were happy to share a small room. Only thing we would change would be the pillows, which were hard and thin. Would definitely stay here again.

Helen, we're so pleased to hear the house suited your family group and furry companions so well during your time in Akaroa. It’s lovely to know the layout and comfort worked for everyone, even in the smaller room. We appreciate the feedback on the pillows and will look into refreshing these. We'd be glad to welcome you back when you're next visiting the area.

Enjoyed our 3 nights in Akaroa. We had 2 well behaved small dogs who enjoyed walking around the waterfront and streets. Property was clean and tidy and had a good range of cooking equipment. Woodburner kept the house warm. Very comfortable. Close to town.
