    Lots to do here. Great shops and cafes/restaurants.

    Lots to do here. Great shops and cafes/restaurants. You must sail on the Fox II to see the dolphins, penguins and seals and learn about the local history. Outstanding! Very walkable town and also some good hiking.

    Akaroa is a must-visit township, it has some amazing cafes/restaurants, and the food is great and varied. Some of them have both inside and outside seating so it is lovely to take advantage of that on a nice day. There are also some great wee shops to visit where you can find a treasure of two. We found a gin-tasting cafe that is a must-visit when you are there and also an Indian Restaurant whose food was amazing. All the shops and cafes are within walking distance if your accommodation is in town. There are some great walks to go on and we also went swimming with the dolphins which is an experience I highly recommend when you are in Akaroa.

    We loved the quaint historic town.

    We loved the quaint historic town. We loved its French flavour. The cafe’s and restaurants outstanding especially Ma Maison where we had the best meal ever. The food, the flavours and the welcoming staff, outstanding! We had breakfast at The Common, again fabulous. We loved walking round the bay to the quay. Everyone was so friendly and happy to stop and talk. At the end of the quay was the prize, the beautiful pearl shop, an absolute must to visit. We can’t wait to return. Already planning a longer trip.

    Akaroa is a lovely historic town with many lovely old cottages and a beautiful harbour. Lots of things to do eg. dolphin watching, nearby cheese factory and winery, Eastern Bays Scenic Mail Run. Lovely cafes and art galleries.

    I have been a regular visitor as my French ancestors founded it. The only thing that stops me coming more often is that dangerous-feeling hill up and down. Nice, quiet (mostly) place that focuses on food, events and nature. Need to put in a lot more effort to add more genuine French flavour to shops and activities. A simple Bonjour is not too difficult. Akaroa's true French nature is being dumbed down by new arrivals who are only interested in commerical gain.

    I had heard about the bottle nosed dolphin cruise but it was cancelled, as the night before there were ferocious winds. The trip to Akaroa was pretty hairy because of the winding mountain road, overlooking deep valleys and there were no guard rails. However, the scenery is very nice, although the town itself is a true tourist trap.

    Fantastic hotel! Rooms with the ocean view, spacious, and they look fancy. The small kitchenette has everything you need, the area is great and quiet. And the neibourhood is full of roses with a wonderful smell! The staff is also very friendly and responsive: late check-in? not a problem! All instructions were clear, and in the morning they were happy to tell us about Akaroa and activities around we could do :)

    The property is located just a little further from Akaroa and is a very beautifully landscaped place. We enjoyed our visit very much and walked the property with all the flowers and nice views. The hosts Nicky and Fram treated us so well and surprised us with several delicious treats at our arrival. We also enjoyed the great advice for food and things to do in the area. We would stay there again for sure.

    We arrived on Labour Day public holiday and found the town humming with tourists. It had been 22 years since I was in Akaroa and once late afternoon arrived, then the tourists returned to Christchurch. This property has its own waterfront area so it was great to see all the different varieties of birds on the rocks and in the water.

    Great view of Akaroa harbor. Comfortable accommodation. Fantastic continental breakfast, lots of choices and plenty of food. We enjoyed the walking trails on the property. Would definitely recommend this place if you are looking for a relaxing break away in a private setting with great views. Extremely clean and tidy.

    This hotel was a great find and in a perfect location. Jacqui was a wonderful hostess, with nothing too much trouble and great to chat with. The whole place was spotless and comfortable, very homely and breakfast was excellent and just enough to set us up for the day ahead. We loved our stay and will be back.

    The whole experience whilst only an overnight stay was what we were looking for at the end of our 30+ day NZ holiday. Akaroa was much like we expected and really not too far from Christchurch airport ( 1hour 45 min ) Property was just great as was the host and the included breakfast was delicious.

    Exceptionally clean and good value. Bar staff were polite and helpful in assisting me. Despite a crowded Saturday night event my room was very quiet The Hotel was up the North end of town away from the noise and bustle of the the main part of town. Easy walk to all activities and shops.

    Stunning location - very quiet and quaint. Awesome to have use of the pool on a hot day (though we did have to clean it ourselves!), beds were extremely comfy and the property itself was just stunning. Nice quick 5 min drive into Akaroa so perfect for a relaxing getaway.

    This was the first Top 10 Holiday park we have visited in New Zealand. It was well beyond our expectations. The grounds were immaculate and the facilities (bathroom, kitchen etc) were clean and complete.
