It was easy to find, convenient to walk around town. It had a convenient kitchen. We liked the quiet, private patio which looked out at green trees and a little stream. I was so thrilled to see the fan tailed bird outside.

The house is so charming and right near all of Akaroa’s restaurants and shops. Breakfast was such a highlight — we loved getting to know other guests and of course Tim’s amazing food!

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.
Location was superb as was the view.
Place was tidy, comfortable and warm and we really enjoyed the balcony as the sun went down.
There is a restaurant/bar below and we were worried that that noise might affect us but it didn't, I guess the people in holiday in Akaroa at this time of year are really chilled
Accommodations were very clean and comfortable. Great to have sliding doors onto small balcony. Kitchen was well stocked with dishes & cookware. Great location for exploring town of Akaroa. The staff were very helpful. We would stay there again if in the area in the future.
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.
great location in a private bush setting about a 15 minute walk to Akaroa. the deck had beautiful harbour views and the cottage had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. it was clean and fresh with a very comfortable bed.
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.
Lovely view and quiet location, convenient drive into Akaroa. Comfortable warm beds and warm house, especially with the fire on. Would definitely stay again!
Great location in Akaroa and also to the waterfront, sea views from our balcony, large room with comfy beds, fully equipped kitchenette, helpful staff.
