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.

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.
Fantastic location with a great view out the window. Nice and quiet, everything needed for a short stay. Bedrooms were super comfortable, but not a lot of space for luggage in the room so ended up with suitcase in the lounge. Check-in/pick up of the keys was at a hotel 1 minute walk up the road, so nice and easy. Entrance to carpark is a very narrow arch under the apartments, but once through plenty of space for turning and parking etc. Nice clear signs on where to park.
The property is located just a little further from Akaroa and is a very beautifully landscaped place. We enjoyed our visit very much and walked the property with all the flowers and nice views.
The hosts Nicky and Fram treated us so well and surprised us with several delicious treats at our arrival. We also enjoyed the great advice for food and things to do in the area.
We would stay there again for sure.
Exceptionally beautiful surroundings, remote yet close to town…. The bird song here at dawn was one of the highlights of my trip. The hosts are friendly and attentive. The view is from a high hillside overlooking Akaroa, very special. The lodge room was entirely unique, especially the sweet loft room ( for fit adults or children only) .
We 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.
This is a delightful place. The owners are friendly & helpful. They work hard to keep up a beautiful old house along with gorgeous flower gardens. Everything was neat, clean and tidy. They had lots of suggestions of places to visit. The location is convenient to Akaroa, about 12 km away,’and very close to the water.
Stunning location - very quiet and quaint. Awesome to have use of the pool on a hot day (though we did have to clean it ourselves!), beds were extremely comfy and the property itself was just stunning. Nice quick 5 min drive into Akaroa so perfect for a relaxing getaway.
We had the most wonderful stay at Mill's Cottage. The accommodation was perfect, our hosts wonderful. The garden is beautiful. The cottage is just a few hundred meters away from Akaroa's main centre but secluded and unique enough to make our stay just magic.
Lovely cosy cottage with everything you needed. Close to Akaroa town . Would stay again when back in New Zealand.Lyn sent directions to the cottage very easy to follow. Lyn has done a lovely job of doing the cottage up. Would highly recommend.
Setting was private and tranquil. Cottage was spotless and well appointed. Great kitchen area and bathroom. Spacious inside and out. Lovely grounds and setting for walks, very quiet at night. Loved the song of the Bellbirds.
Peaceful, secluded cottage. Clean and tidy. Lovely balcony with small BBQ, table and chairs. Nice to hear the birds. Close to Akaroa town centre. Good communication regarding directions and key access.
Location was an easy stroll to the waterfront, wharf, restaurants and shops. The apartment was well set up with 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and an extra toilet. All very clean and comfortable.
Beautiful old house, friendly hosts more than happy to share their house and history. Peaceful grounds, lovely bird life, easy walking distance to the Akaroa waterfront.
Despite being in the centre of Akaroa, the apartment was wonderfully quiet. There was plenty of space for the two of us. We will certainly consider returning.
