I was expecting it to be an avaerage stay considering we booked it for too cheap. Came to realize this was THE BEST stay we had. Rooms were clean and had all amenities in it. Chris turned on the heater in our room before our arrival so we entered the room when it was very cozy. We were getting some of the best views of Akaroa right from our room. The property was exceptionally clean and maintained. This place is going to be our permanent stay for our Akaroa visits.

French Bay House is perfect for a getaway to Akaroa. The cottage is amazingly renovated to original condition. Very cosy and a great manager in Rhonda. Rhonda couldn't do enough for us to make our stay the enjoyable stay it was. We will be back.

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.
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.
Location was perfect. Close to Akaroa centre but far enough away in order to enjoy the peaceful surroundings and ambience of the beautiful house.
Hosts were exceptionally welcoming.
The evening drinks and canapés proved to be wonderful, relaxed and informal. Nice to meet other travellers.
Bedroom was well equipped, very nice toiletries.
The breakfast was absolutely outstanding.
Really? 5 star Michelin rating for our breakfasts. View from the B&B toward Akaroa delightful. The hosts were both helpful with touring advice and very pleasant. We left feeling sad to leave them both.
Note: The entire B&B is spotless and beautifully furnished.
They are the place to stay on the Banks Peninsula.
The cottage was clean and comfortable, and is located in a very quiet location. “Tranquil and Relaxing” is very true. You can hear all the birds sing. It had everything we needed. The heater worked very well. The bathroom was spacious. It was unfortunate that we could only stay one night in that area.
The Most Beautiful BnB that offers to spoil you with many treats/flavours/luxury facilities & in one of New Zealands Most wonderful French village water locations - views and outdoor areas just breath taking & so relaxing ! Highly recommend.
Beautiful out of town location with views over the harbour . kitchen fully fitted with bbq on terrace area. communal grounds to a set of holiday cottages, but all with privacy. Masses of information about the area and new zealand.
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.
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.
Beautiful old house, friendly hosts more than happy to share their house and history. Peaceful grounds, lovely bird life, easy walking distance to the Akaroa waterfront.
Reasonable sized room with outdoor seating at both front and back. Up to date facilities.
Good location to walk into town and hotel bar with food only 50 yards away
Central- walking distance to beach, shops and restaurants. Good for a stay of a few days, while exploring Akaroa.
Good fish and chiips just around the corner!
An exceptional place to stay: wonderful grounds, historical house, right in the middle of Akaroa. Breakfast is a highlight: fresh eggs from their own hens.
