“Brilliant property and fantastic location.”
Particularly enjoyed having the separated spaces for couples (I was with my partner, and my parents) and being able to walk into town / short drive into town. Would recommend if you're staying in Akaroa and enjoy walking. In terms of improvements, it would be useful to have a little more parity between spaces to give "space" to each room and so one room isn't the default living space. Improvements would have been keys for the back door, so one room isn't used as the access point for all ...
Particularly enjoyed having the separated spaces for couples (I was with my partner, and my parents) and being able to walk into town / short drive into town. Would recommend if you're staying in Akaroa and enjoy walking. In terms of improvements, it would be useful to have a little more parity between spaces to give "space" to each room and so one room isn't the default living space. Improvements would have been keys for the back door, so one room isn't used as the access point for all guests, a sofa in both rooms, operating heaters in each room and kettles in both rooms. I'm assuming this isn't an issue where one room is occupied by young children. Really enjoyed the stay a lot and were really happy that we were able to get a booking over the busy New Years period to spend quality time together.
