Housed in a historic building, the recently renovated Halfmoon Cottage features accommodation with a garden and free WiFi. This homestay offers free private parking and a shared kitchen. The homestay provides garden views and a picnic area.

An amazing cottage located right in front of the water. The cottage itself is super beautiful, surrounded by green trees, colorful flowers and everything is so clean and inviting. Beds are comfy and the shared kitchen has everything you need. The cherry on top of it were definitely the hosts, Cor and Margo, who welcomed us so warmly and were so fun to talk with. This is your place to stay when visiting Banks Peninsula!!!

    Very pretty traditional style NZ home. Beautifully appointed. Great sized room. Lovely communal lounge with lovely roaring fire. Super for meeting other guests and sharing travel tips. Lovely breakfast, too. Lovely hosts with a very warm welcome. And a complementary glass of port was a nice touch after dinner.

    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.
