The stay is ok.

A residential home that has been split into two apartments to stay in; we stayed on the bottom level. The owner was really helpful about getting us set up and helping us to check in early, I loved the surrounding area. Lots of nice homely touches like multiple heaters around the home, electric blankets on the bed.

We stayed in the seaview room. Nice place opposite the water. The apartment is spacious for 2. The queen bed was comfortable but would have preferred a king. All amenities, utensils, cutlery, crockery for cooking were included. There were also some board games, dvds and hifi which made good use when it was raining. There was no cable tv only regular tv channels. Information about the place and things to do was also in the compendium. Mary the host was friendly and made us feel welcome. I would definitely stay a few nights again.

Lovely location. Spacious with good facilities and well equipped. A very pleasant walk into town.

Clean, warm, well presented and appointed, well positioned!

Nice relaxing spot but not really a beach in front

This is a great location away from the noise of the village but easy walking distance and so close to the sea. Great bedding and excellent facilities

We were looking forward to our stay but found ourselves a little disappointed. We could forgive the godawful colour scheme and dated decor, but we found the cane lounge chairs to be incredibly uncomfortable and ended up sitting on the floor! There were no curtains or blinds in the lounge/dining, so no privacy. There was no soap for the shower, or shampoo, nowhere to hang your handtowel, the milk provided was out of date and off, and we had to ration the toilet paper because there were no spare rolls. There were many signs around the house warning us "not to touch this and that" which didnt make us feel welcome.

2 relaxing nights in the property. Weather was average outside but the property was cosy and warm and could still look at a beautiful view out of the large windows. Bed was slightly hard but thats probably comparing to our own. Still a pleasant sleep. The kitchen is well stocked with items - very impressed. Bathroom was tidy and clean and had a great shower. only complaint would be a slightly off smell when we first arrived, maybe a bit of spilt milk or something in kitchen? All good after opening the windows. A great stay and have recommended to family and friends.

Just a top spot. Aparment clean and well presented

Akaroa on the Beach is an amazing place to stay. The view is great and the sound of birds singing incredible. A must place to stay when in Akaroa!

Beautiful location and view. Nice layout in Beachside unit. Not immaculate- crumbs on dining table, pans greasy. Laundry "out of order" $16 per load to drop it off at in town laundry. Welcome drink advertised, not provided. Little things- no sponge to wash dishes, no daily change of towels, no liners in trash- had to use grocery bags and outside bin completely full. But for these small details, it would have been the perfection stated in other reviews.

Two Night Stay at Akaroa before going back to Oz. This was a three storey house, we were on the bottom floor. Views of the Harbour. 10 min walk to town. The bed was too small for both of us, I slept on the Sofa Bed in the lounge. A lovely spot to stay in. French influence. Plenty of Cafe's, Very busy when the Cruise Ships are in the Harbour, otherwise very quiet. Beautiful scenery. Lots of History here.

Very quiet and comfortable.Would go back again. The only hick-up was on arrival we were supposed to have a code to open the lock box for the apartment key, but our printed booking sheet from Hotels.com did not supply a code.
