It was easy to find, convenient to walk around town. It had a convenient kitchen. We liked the quiet, private patio which looked out at green trees and a little stream. I was so thrilled to see the fan tailed bird outside.

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!

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.James And CarmelNew Zealand - 10Scored 10
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.FrancesNew Zealand - 8.0Scored 8.0

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.JulianaAustralia

- 7.9Scored 7.9GoodRated good· 31 reviewsThe location was quiet, loved waking up to the birdsong. The cottage had everything we needed, good cooking facilities, good sized fridge, washing facilities and the bed was very comfortable. The couches were comfortable. The pool was an extra bonus. Loved being away from the busy Akaroa village yet only 5 minutes away by car. Very much looking forward to staying again.

We had a fabulous stay here - the location is perfect for exploring the town, the room was super clean and comfortable, and breakfast was amazing. We especially loved spending time in the sitting room with the fireplace going - so cozy! Jacqui and Tim are wonderful hosts.

- From $118.18 per night8.6Scored 8.6ExcellentRated excellent· 881 reviewsWe 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.
ElizabethAustralia - 9.9Scored 9.9ExceptionalRated exceptional· 91 reviewsReally? 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.
