My Partner and I have visited Akaroa three times, the views are absolutely beautiful, the French heritage is evident, gardens are well maintained around the village. There are lots of little shops, cafes and restaurants to suit all.

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.
The hosts Gail & Brendon were extremely inviting and made us feel very welcomed. We had some great conversations over some drinks. Having use of the spa was a great way to end the day. The bed was also very comfortable. Then to wake up to an amazing view and cooked breakfast by the hosts themselves was the highlight of our stay at Newton Heights. Felt like luxury accommodation. Will definitely be back for a second stay.
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.
The whole experience whilst only an overnight stay was what we were looking for at the end of our 30+ day NZ holiday.
Akaroa was much like we expected and really not too far from Christchurch airport ( 1hour 45 min ) Property was just great as was the host and the included breakfast was delicious.
The property consists of 2 apartments. We had the Penthouse on top of the building. It had amazing views over Akaroa Harbour. The property is an easy 20min walk along the waterfront to the centre of Akaroa where there are many dining venues. "The Common" was frequented by us a lot during our stay!
Cosy studio under owner's home. Beautifully furnished with modern bathroom. Lovely quiet location a short drive from waterfront. Historic cottage in landscaped gardens. Great to sit outside and enjoy view. Friendly and welcoming owners.
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.
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.
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.
What a lovely apartment, in a superb location! The furnishings were shabby chic and tasteful and the large windows gave a wonderful view across Akaroa harbour. Comfortable beds and intimate space.
location was fab looking directly down to the Akaroa wharf. Great place to stay and stroll around the village and waterfront. Comfy bed. Nice to sit on the patio. Would stay again.
Beautiful waterfront 3 bedroom unit as described when booking. Fully equipped, close to all shops and restaurants in quaint Akaroa. Highly recommended for a group of friends.
Lovely view and quiet location, convenient drive into Akaroa. Comfortable warm beds and warm house, especially with the fire on. Would definitely stay again!
