A great 2 days in Akaroa. Great accommodation easy walk to all amenities. Only issue was restaurant which could not accommodate daughters nut allergy but they did try. Boat trip to see dolphins a must. Family run business that is second to none. A true highlight.

This place is great. The beds are incredibly comfortable, which is always a major plus. The showerhead is relatively low, the bedding is especially heavy, and the towels require replacing. Otherwise, it's outstanding.

The property is in a great location but has ANT problems. We checked out early as could not deal with the ants that were every where. Beds need to be replaced. Fringe is too small and does not work well.

Location was good but property needed some maintenance. Steps needed a water blast. Really cold only a fan heater downstairs. Needs a heat pump. Need an update. Great location but not worth what they’re charging. No Nespresso or coffee plunger. Have stayed in a lot nicer for the same price in Akaroa.

Great position but getting a bit tired. Had an issue with noisy pipes when turning on the tap that needs fixed. Small TV compared to what you would expect these days.
