Akaroa Waterfront Apartment is a beautifully restored colonial building from the 1830s, situated on the main street of the village offering breathtaking views of Akaroa.

This second-level apartment features two spacious queen bedrooms, a fully equipped kitchen, and a sunlit lounge adorned with tasteful decor and exquisite artwork. The lounge also boasts French doors that open to a balcony overlooking the picturesque harbour.

Conveniently located across from the beach, guests have easy access to a fabulous playground and a premier beachfront restaurant known for its delicious fish and chips. Just below the apartment, there is a charming cafe that serves great coffee but it's important to note that being situated above the cafe may result in some morning noise.

The apartment's prime location ensures that all the necessary amenities for a relaxing weekend are within walking distance. The waterfront area offers a delightful array of shops where visitors can discover unique trinkets and treasures. For those with a vehicle, a short drive up the hill leads to the captivating Giant's House, a must-visit local attraction.

Our cleaning fees reflect the level of care and detail our housekeeping team provide in our homes. While you may be staying in a regular family home, our intention is to provide hotel-quality comfort for your stay, regardless of the type of property. This requires extensive cleaning after each check-out to ensure every guest is able to experience our properties at their best. Our cleans also include hotel-quality linen on all our beds, bathroom toiletries such as shampoo and conditioner, as well as tea, coffee & hot chocolate for your first couple of days.

For stays exceeding 14 days, a mid-stay clean is required to keep the property at the highest standards. If you would also like a linen change please let us know so we can book this in for the same time. Mid-stay cleans or linen changes for stays less than 14 days are optional. This service can be booked through your personal Guest Boarding Pass.
Our house rules are located in our guestbook and your service agreement which will be sent to you via email. If you have any further questions or concerns please don't hesitate to contact us.

Beautiful spot

Of all the places our family of four stayed in New Zealand, this was our favorite. Nicely appointed, with some great art and comfortable beds, super centrally located, good water and sunset views, and surprisingly quiet for being above the waterfront storefronts.

Akaroa Waterfront Apartment is fabulous!

Waking up to views of the harbour and mountains every morning was amazing. The location is perfect for short walks to the sights around Akaroa. Shops and restaurants close and the cruise tour dock only a few minutes away. Quiet evenings spent on the little balcony. Lots of attention to detail to make for a cozy "home away from home"! Would definitely stay here again. Thank you!

Simply perfect

A beautiful apartment with stylish furniture, perfectly located in the center of Akaroa. Magnificent views from balcony and living room. Very comfy beds, modern and luxurious bathroom and a well-equipped kitchen. We felt immediately homey and would come back anytime.

Can't say enough about how wonderful this place is!

The location was great. We really loved the little Thai restaurant next door and the view from the place was beautiful. The apartment is well layed out and decorated so nicely. I would say the pictures don't do it justice. We were on a three-week trip so we really appreciated the washer and dryer. We also spent a lot of time out on the balcony looking out over the water. The whole family put this place at the top of our list of all the accomodations we stayed in during our three weeks in New Zealand. And there were many. Thank you for everything!
