“A Delightful place”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed April 8, 2012

I stayed overnight at Akaroa House in February with a friend from Belgium. This really is a beautiful home with oustanding furnishings, lovely garden and wonderful view. We had intended to stay in Christchurch but luckily for us most places were full so we made the trip to Akaroa and what good fortune this was. My Belgian friend absolutely loved... More

The house was amazing, very roomy, lovely views, everything there and a lovely kitchen that we shared lovely meals around... More

“View from Above”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 15, 2012

As Christchurch residents, we have been to Akaroa many times over the years and stayed in many different places. Last time we did a lovely B+B but with the extended family in tow, we opted for something a bit bigger and more sumptuous. Akaroa House is situated up the hill at the end of the village. It has wonderful views,... More

There is plenty of space and the kitchen is fantastic. Akaroa is one our favourite places in New Zealand so hopefully we'll get to stay here again when we are... More

Hello Ellen - lovely to meet you both. Thank you so much for your review. Akaroa House is offered for Bed and Breakfast occasionally when I am in residence :) and can be rented as a whole house (five bedrooms/four bathrooms) for advanced bookings. Upstairs we can make the twin rooms into a "Kings" - so a few bed options.... More

“Amazing View and Hospitality”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 11, 2011

This house is impeccable, two couples stayed for B&B (not always available). The host is lovely & made us feel very comfortable. I think it would be the best in Akoroa. Also within walking distance to shops & restaurants. Highly recommended. More

“Simply the Best”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed October 25, 2011

This is by far the best house in NZ that we have ever rented. Lovely atmosphere, views and a really homely feel, with all that we could have asked for. Perfect for a large group, family reunion or wedding. Our french themed weekend was made even better by our surroundings. And finding a welcoming basket of goodies on our arrival... More
