Fantastic spot, lovely charm to the building. I would recommend it’s an excellent spot for spring/summer.

Great character and tons of charm.

Really cold on arrival, and it took all evening to warm up. Only one bed was made up with an electric blanket, we had to dig the other blanket out of the storage cupboard to dress the 2nd bed ourselves. No place for storing clothes in the second bedroom, not even a hook on the back of a door a hang an item.

Enjoyable stay in a charming historic building.

Cute place, very unique. Decor was pleasant. Very handy to restuarants on the waterfront

Just feel it could do with a few more luxury touches, to validate the price position.

A bit dissapointed as interior standard was not what I expected.

Historic exterior. Handy to everything. Off street parking. Good heating. Plenty off space inside and out.

No milk, no face cloths, no tissues. Cleaning not very good. Toilet cistern bowl and seat need replacing. Water needs a filter as smells and tastes bad. Windows onto beach side back alley need frosting as veiw is not good and people can and do come and peer through.

perfect location, very spacious and clean.

the location was perfect - in the heart of Akaroa. it had good parking, so we could leave our car - and we could easily walk to most places. We had lots of space, and the spa bath was a welcome feature.

It wasn’t very private once all the curtains were open.

What a beautiful sanctuary close to the bay and all amenities. A wonderful place to rest and take in the history of Akar

the location by the sea and township was perfect and I loved the history of the place

So you know I’m telling everything: a new tea towel is needed as it doesn’t dry dishes properly. Everything else was amazing!

Beautiful place to visit for gorgeous views and scenery.

Great location, great place to stay. Perfect for our family get away. Views and scenery out of this world. Best place to go for a great platter and gin tasting was the Akaroa Craft Distillery -highly recommended.

The only thing we could say that was a negative that it was so cold. The heat pump although was going 24/7 barely heated the place. The electric blanket on one of the beds, only half of it worked. The food / cafes were a bit of a disappointment ...if you are foody people not the place to visit for great food.

Fun with friends

Location was great. Real central to shops and cafes. Was a special weekend for a friend's birthday

The Kitchen was a little disappointing. A larger microwave perhaps one that you could grill in. It would have been good to have a vacuum cleaner on site as we had croissant and the pastry made a mess I would have like to clean it up

Little piece of comfort in historic Akaroa

Perfect location. Great sized apartment with everything you needed. Loved this place and will definitely be back one day

It took while to heat up but once warm we kept it warm.
