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.
Lovely big room with a balcony overlooking Akaroa harbour.
Very comfy beds - king sized main bed plus a single bed.
Lovely large bathroom. A kitchenette - toaster, electric kettle, microwave, hotplates and all the things you need to prepare a simple meal.
I left my Kindle in the room and the hotel contacted me straight away and have sent it via courier to my next location! Above and beyond - thank you :)
The location is right in the heart of Akaroa, straight across the road from the waterfront.
The sunny courtyard accessible from the lounge and master bedroom was a lovely private area, but with a wrought iron gate that afforded views to the sea and street.
Lovely views of the sea and street from open plan lounge/dining/kitchen.
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
We had a fantastic time at the historic Mill Cottage. We had afternoon tea on the deck before exploring Akaroa. The bed was very comfortable, and with no street lights or traffic lights, we had a great slepp. We enjoyed breakfast! Highly recommend for a treat weekend or night away.
We needed a room in Akaroa as attending a workshop, so location was very good for us. We arrived quite late after a long drive from Nelson, and the host was so kind to still be available and have the bar open for an end-of-day brew. Parking right behind the house was a breeze.
We love this homestay. Very clean and tidy. The couple are very kind and friendly. The husband told us in detail where to visit in Akaroa. We appreciate that. We love the courtyard with very beautiful flowers. We enjoyed our stay in Halfmoon Cottage.
Beautiful historic cottage in lovely garden setting. Very peaceful spot - didn't want to leave!
Easy 10min walk into Akaroa township.
Cottage was beautifully furnished and decorated.
Bed very comfortable with lovely linen.
The room was spacious, warm and a fabulous view of the harbour from our balcony. Walking distance to everywhere in the Akaroa township. Comfy bed and pillows.
The room was very clean and value for money. We will stay again.
Beautifully furnished, comfortable and with commanding views of the harbour, this property exceeded our expectations. It sits on grounds with other cottages but privacy is guaranteed. Only 2mn drive out of Akaroa.
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!
Very close to the centre of Akaroa, easy walking distance to all shops and restaurants. Across the road from the peir so close to going on the Dolphin watching boats.
Lovely view and quiet location, convenient drive into Akaroa. Comfortable warm beds and warm house, especially with the fire on. Would definitely stay again!
