Peter 
“Wonderful location so handy to the harbour and shops.”
The comfort was great with a cosy atmosphere. Pillows were too big for us .. luckily we took our own. Reading material was outstanding and we were even able to read the history of the very house we were staying in. Kitchen was well equipped but some saucepans were not clean. Keyless entry good and easy to use.. We would stay there again especially as it was dog friendly. One of the best we have ever stayed in.

- Sue, March 2023sahara “Loved it”
- sahara, December 2022Russell “Lovely house great location.”
Really enjoyed it but not the shower. Claw foot bath was difficult to climb into as it was quite high sided. Curtain area small and difficult to keep water off the floor. A walk in shower would be great. Otherwise wonderful house.

- Toni, June 2022Mark “What a fantastic house.”
Stayed for 3 days and didn't want to go out at night as the property is so homely. Highly recommend
- Mark, February 2022Hana “Wow this cottage was immaculate and such a pleasure to stay in.”
Every detail has been thought about and the effort put into the experience was amazing. Firstly the bedrooms were huge, comfortable beds and an ensuite each with a bath. We loved the underfloor heating in the bathrooms and the extra touches such as bath soak, candles, and amenities. The honesty bar, tea and coffee supplies and pantry went above and beyond expectation. This made cooking and drink making a breeze. The cottage itself is within an easy walking distance to both set of shops and a huge bonus was being able to take our wee dog with us. We are looking forward to staying again in future.
- Hana, December 2021Diana “Great location.”

- jeannette, April 2021Matt “Amazing place that obviously had a huge amount of effort put into the furniture, decorations and accents, nice deck with outdoor furniture.”
Very close to town, a very short walk. Huge bedrooms and fantastic ensuites in theme of the 'old Akaroa'. A very well thought out villa.
- Matt, January 2021Kirsten “This is one of the loveliest places I have stayed in a very long time.”
The villa is immaculate and every little detail has been taken care of, with the utmost charm. It has the feel of a very high quality B&B - with the bonus that you have the whole house to yourself. The beds are huge and really comfortable - and beautiful. The location is excellent, literally a few minutes walk to the beach, restaurants and shops. When we arrived it was a bit chilly, and Karen who welcomed us had lit the fire which was such a welcome touch! We left wishing that we had booked for several days more.
- Kirsten, December 2020Louise “What a gorgeous villa, beautifully decorated with special touches including lovely candles, bathroom products and a well stocked honesty bar .”
- Louise, September 2020Brian “A lovely homely property in an excellent central location in Akaroa.”
Very well equipped for up to four persons. We would be very happy to visit again.
- Brian, February 2020Geoffrey “A beautiful, charming cottage in a great location with restaurants just around the corner and shops a 5 minute walk away.”
It was a true “boutique accommodation” experience. Karen was tremendously helpful and friendly. We will definitely be back soon.
