    Love this hotel's stunning location right on the waterfront. The view across the bay is simply breathtaking. It's set one street back from the main street, ensuring a peaceful and quiet stay. The staff were friendly and attentive, making sure that our needs were met. The rooms were well-appointed, with balconies overlooking the water. And to top it off, breakfast was offered. Truly a great find! All was perfect!

    The bed with electric blankets was very comfy and the room itself was well-organised. The location was stunning, close to Akaroa township the other side, all the shops and most shops and attractions, and the free parking was an excellent bonus. Found Rona's Restaurant very close to the hotel where I had supper.

    The venue was set in the very central position next to other local amenities such as locals restaurants, the sea front and the wooded walks on the hillsides. The staff was very obliging, we got their full attention.

    We think it's a lovely base for staying in Akaroa. It has both nice and pleasant staff. The location is marvellous and stunning, not far from Akaroa, close to restaurants and shops and township - couldn't be better. Stay here and enjoy your Akaroa trip.

    The apartment was well laid out right on the water, so that guests had essentials. A microwave oven, an electric kettle and a refrigerator were a nice touch. As for me, the location was good, so close to restaurants and shops, Christchurch and the shops and the lighthouse.
