    Lots to do here. Great shops and cafes/restaurants.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Great view of Akaroa harbor. Comfortable accommodation. Fantastic continental breakfast, lots of choices and plenty of food. We enjoyed the walking trails on the property. Would definitely recommend this place if you are looking for a relaxing break away in a private setting with great views. Extremely clean and tidy.

    The cottage was clean and comfortable, and is located in a very quiet location. “Tranquil and Relaxing” is very true. You can hear all the birds sing. It had everything we needed. The heater worked very well. The bathroom was spacious. It was unfortunate that we could only stay one night in that area.

    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 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.

    A lovely and quiet stay that is close enough to the main town of Akaroa but still allows for a private experience. There is a trail on the property that links up to a larger walk. The cottage had a lovely fireplace and nice garden.

    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.

    In the end we did not stay in the Summerhouse as Anne kindly upgraded us to the cottage at no extra expense as the weather was forecast to be a bit unsettled Therefore this review applies to the cottage.
