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.
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.
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.
This hotel was a great find and in a perfect location. Jacqui was a wonderful hostess, with nothing too much trouble and great to chat with. The whole place was spotless and comfortable, very homely and breakfast was excellent and just enough to set us up for the day ahead. We loved our stay and will be back.
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.
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.
An amazing tranquil place stay, a beautiful little cottage with the sound of birds. A fabulous place to relax and unwind
Very handy to the little town of Akaroa for restaurants and sightseeing.
Would definitely go back.
Wonderful small hotel with views and balconies looking out over the water. Restaurants, bars and coffee shops are all within walking distance. Very friendly and attentive staff. Really made you feel welcome.
The Holiday park was clean and comfortable. Location was good, have a beautiful view.
The person at the reception was very helpful and in detail explained everything about getting to the room and wi-fi etc.
Could not fault this place. Always wanted to stay in the Shipping Office and it was exceptional. Great for two couples. Close to waterfront in the best part of Akaroa.
