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.James And CarmelNew Zealand - 10Scored 10
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.FrancesNew Zealand - 8.0Scored 8.0

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.JulianaAustralia

- 7.5Scored 7.5GoodRated good· 157 reviewsFantastic 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 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) .JenniferUnited States of America
- From $105.86 per night8.6Scored 8.6ExcellentRated excellent· 872 reviewsWe 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.
ElizabethAustralia - From $91.67 per night7.1Scored 7.1GoodRated good· 420 reviewsHONESTY! As I got a message from bookings after I checked out that the house cleaner found my phone in my room. After a few calls with hotel staff, they went an extra effort to help get the phone returned to me. Many thx for that. My stay at the Grand Hotel was pleasant, and the food was good.
ChristopherUnited States of America - From $91.67 per night7.1Scored 7.1GoodRated good· 420 reviewsWe needed a room in Akaroa as attending a workshop, so location was very good for us. We arrived quite late after a long drive from Nelson, and the host was so kind to still be available and have the bar open for an end-of-day brew. Parking right behind the house was a breeze.
