The shipping office had a lot of charm and was centrally located. It was a bit funky, but in a good way. Lots of space to spread out and organize while on our road trip.

The house is so charming and right near all of Akaroa’s restaurants and shops. Breakfast was such a highlight — we loved getting to know other guests and of course Tim’s amazing food!

My Partner and I have visited Akaroa three times, the views are absolutely beautiful, the French heritage is evident, gardens are well maintained around the village. There are lots of little shops, cafes and restaurants to suit all.

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.

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.
Sharron & Noel went that extra mile to make our holiday extra special. The historical home was set in romantic gardens - trees 160 years old - native birds. Loved sitting under the verander taking coffee with home baking. The breakfast was a dream berries, pastries and those amazing cooked breakfast. Our hosts had thought of everything to make our stay extra special.
Really? 5 star Michelin rating for our breakfasts. View from the B&B toward Akaroa delightful. The hosts were both helpful with touring advice and very pleasant. We left feeling sad to leave them both.
Note: The entire B&B is spotless and beautifully furnished.
They are the place to stay on the Banks Peninsula.
Location was superb as was the view.
Place was tidy, comfortable and warm and we really enjoyed the balcony as the sun went down.
There is a restaurant/bar below and we were worried that that noise might affect us but it didn't, I guess the people in holiday in Akaroa at this time of year are really chilled
The property consists of 2 apartments. We had the Penthouse on top of the building. It had amazing views over Akaroa Harbour. The property is an easy 20min walk along the waterfront to the centre of Akaroa where there are many dining venues. "The Common" was frequented by us a lot during our stay!
We had the most wonderful stay at Mill's Cottage. The accommodation was perfect, our hosts wonderful. The garden is beautiful. The cottage is just a few hundred meters away from Akaroa's main centre but secluded and unique enough to make our stay just magic.
A truly relaxing hideaway, set in a tranquil location just outside of Akaroa township. Loved the feeling of being remote while remaining close to everything. This charming cosy cottage was just what we needed for our weekend getaway!
great location in a private bush setting about a 15 minute walk to Akaroa. the deck had beautiful harbour views and the cottage had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. it was clean and fresh with a very comfortable bed.
Tranquil and secluded cottage, Very well presented and comfortable. Very clean, tidy and well stocked bathroom towels etc. Perfect for getaways and romantic weekends. Only wish we'd booked for longer. Will definitely be back.
What a lovely apartment, in a superb location! The furnishings were shabby chic and tasteful and the large windows gave a wonderful view across Akaroa harbour. Comfortable beds and intimate space.
Location was an easy stroll to the waterfront, wharf, restaurants and shops. The apartment was well set up with 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and an extra toilet. All very clean and comfortable.
Very comfortable and spacious. Great waterfront location and easy walking access to shops and cafes in Akaroa Village. Lovely view. Enjoyed the spa bath.
