Great little akaroa holiday cottage. Great position with stream beside it and reserve behind to take little doggies for a run around. Close to town and eating places no need for the car just a short walk. This was our 2and stay here. Its had a refurbish since 1st visit. Very tasteful new kitchen joinery including induction range hob and new oven. Has new shower with fancy showerhead and plenty hot water pressure. Decking on side of house has been covered in so it was great sitting outside for coffee under cover. The whole place has a lovely french feel with it's very old piano and lots of wonderful wall pictures and ornaments.

The house is a great location, is fully equipped with everything you need in the kitchen and bedrooms and has a lovely French feel with a lot of interesting ornaments. It has a nice big back deck which sits above the Akaroa stream, making it very relaxing and invites all the wee native birds close to the house to enjoy. We went in summer and the house had sun the full day, right into the evening which kept it very toastie.
