Great place and peaceful location with easy walking to shop and other facilities. We walked low and high and saw dolphins with Akaroa Dolphins. The walk as we left onto Onawe Pa was an emotional experience in many ways knowing some of the history. This holiday house had all we needed to help make for a great 3 night start to a 4 week tour of South Island!!

Perfect location for French Fest weekend with the domain a short stroll away.
We didnt bother getting to the other end of Akaroa.
The house was great for the 4 of us, all facilities worked well, the log burner a treat for keeping chill at bay.
A good front balcony for morning coffees and evening drinks.
Will save this for future visits.
Many thanks.

This property was in a great position - 5 minute walk to the village! The bach was comfortable with everything needed for an enjoyable stay. Perfect balance of cosy and kitsch.

we very much enjoyed our stay at this house. We took a bus to Akaroa & the house was further from the bus stop than we expected. Overall, the house was fine: wi-fi worked well, beds were comfortable & kitchen was well appointed. The rugs had stains on them (I always worry I’ll be blamed for this!) but otherwise the place was clean & comfortable. The host responded promptly to all queries & the property manager was on site when we arrived & allowed us to check in early. She also allowed us to store our luggage in the carport on our last day so we could continue sightseeing until it was time to catch our bus. I recommend this house without any reservations!

I was disappointed with the cleaning of the house. A few small things. No paper to light the fire or kindling some cobwebs in the living area which needs an update. Lovely new bathroom and the 2 queen beds comfortable and nice heaters in bedrooms. Not enough toilet paper for our stay

Well presented. Comfortable beds. Good quality fittings. Kitchen facilities great. Shower room and toilet lovely. As the visit was in cold weather we needed to use the Woodfield, but this made it a very cozy house. . No views, but a quiet spot and an easy walk, mostly flat to the village.
