The cottage is super comfy and cozy... Margo and Cor were super friendly and gave us the best welcoming, and great tips for things to do around.

Margo and Cornelius are fabulous hosts, they made me feel very welcome. It was like home away from home, relaxed, comfortable, clean and well maintained. It's a beautiful house and the gardens are superb. Margo gave me a capsicum from the garden to have in my stir fry, yum! Thanks for everything... and charging my PHEV :-)

I really can't fault Halfmoon Cottage. From arrival to departure, everything was just brilliant! The cottage and the garden are beautiful and cosy. The kitchen was well equipped with all the utensils you needed, as well as plenty of space in the cupboard/fridge for you to store things. It was spotlessly clean too, which is the same for the shared bathroom facilities. We had a twin room which was cosy and comfortable, with some space for the two of you to spread out your luggage. The location was great, just about a 10 minute drove out of Akaroa itself and just on the main road so it's pretty easy to find. The owners were very attentive and helpful with any information we needed about the area/things to do. You could tell that they really have an interest in their guests staying there and want them to have a good time. If/when I come back to Akaroa, I will definitely be staying here again!

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!!!

Lovely space with incredible garden, and peaceful setting near water. Well equipped and modern kitchen. Dangerously close to a cheese factory and shop… :)

We loved the homely feel of Halfmoon Cottage. Such a beautiful garden, spacious rooms, clean kitchen and shared bathrooms. Loved having a comfortable loungeroom as well as lots of tables and chairs on the verandahs. We felt very relaxed and the hosts were very friendly and helpful. Would definitely recommend to others looking for a peaceful place to stay.

Stunning place! Beautiful rooms with a kitchen and dining room that make you feel at home. The garden is beautiful, full of fruit trees, and so serene. Cor and Margo went above and beyond to make us feel welcome 🙏 Just a quick drive to Akaroa!
