The studio was fantastic with the lovely view. Large windows and a patio door leading to a balcony.
The design was well thought out. One of the best accommodation I had stayed in.
Very peaceful and quiet but it was a Thursday night and in August.
Wish we could stay longer but we had to fly back to UK.
What a wonderful way to end our adventure in New Zealand. The staff member was exceptionally friendly and helpful. Akaroa is a lovely town…thank you and peace 🙏
Wonderful family stay for a family of 6. Appreciated the place and the staff were absolutely amazing. Views money can't buy all round fantastic close to everything or a small drive down the way to more places and shops. Great wee township and diffinitly something for everyone kinda place.

Average
We were looking forward to the say but felt a little let down for $200 plus. The unit was OK - a little tired and in need of a refresh - numerous wall gouges etc. A few teas and a plunger but no beans - does anyone drink instant in 2024? We don't usually complain but this is just a bit of a poor look for tourists to an iconic tourist spot in New Zealand. You can do better as regular travellers we kind of expect better.
Loved our room as right on the waterfront, lovely comfortable stay

Found the property very dated. we had a pleasant stay but no fan or heating in bathroom and on a very cold morning not inviting at all.
Overall the property could do with a good clean and tidy.

Based on the available photo's the property appeared to be a lot newer than it actually is, and it is starting to show its age. Was also quite cold, heatong needs updating.
