We got a deal on Akaroa Cottages that included a bottle of bubbles on arrival. My fiance and I had been looking for a romantic getaway close to Chch for just one night. I had to ring them several times to ask questions and the manager was always very helpful. Upon on arrival, everything was so clean and tidy, I... More

Our last stop in New Zealand before travelling back to Tassie. We would recommend to any one. The 3Bedroom Seaview Cottage was just wonderful and the gardens were immaculate. Very tranquil and spacious. The town of Akoroa and the food did not disappoint.

We stayed in the cottage tucked into bush. It was really good. The room was very big as far as accommodation of that price goes. And, it even had a fire place with plenty of wood supplied to keep you going until the morning! I recommend Akaroa Cottages to anyone wanting a tranquil escape from noisy cities. All you can... More

Akaroa Cottages is my go to accommodation venue when spending time in Akaroa. Previously I've stayed in seaview cottages, but this trip was rather spur of the moment and we picked a bush view cottage. We were in the Croquet Cottage (it is pictured amongst the traveller photos uploaded) and I have to comment that the bush view cottages don't... More

...how amazing this place was, our itinerary would have been different, and we would have spent more time in Akaroa. We stayed at the Akaroa cottages on our last evening in New Zealand. It was perfection. Quiet, tranquil, amazing views - a little slice of heaven. We were sad to leave, and will be sure to stay longer next time!... More

We had one night in a very comfortable cottage with a great view. Really comfortable bed. Kitchenette compact but complete and breakfast on the verandah was accompanied by wonderful birdsong. Entrance sign is a little discrete but GPS helped. Great night sky viewing from the open space by reception. Staff very helpful about getting into town. Bring your own breakfast... More

We spent 3 nights in the Rowan Cottage in Akaroa Cottages and had a wonderful visit. Megan and Kyle, the managers, are very helpful and friendly, enjoyed conversations with them about the local scene and living in the area. The location is perfect.........close to town, but up on a bluff where you can see the water. The property is beautifully... More

Our cottage was clean and comfortable with stunning views over the harbour . It was very pleasant to eat fish and chips with a glass of wine on the verandah. The receptionist was very helpful. The cottage could do with modernisation and more cupboards - a lot of wasted space. Although not far from town you do need to take... More

You can't fault the luxury of these gorgeous cabins, ours had a view to die for. The managers were more than helpful and really friendly. I had the longest bath in the spa bath in our room and the self contained kitchen facilities were excellent. The Akaroa Shuttle service from Christchurch was brilliant, and the very knowledgable singing bus driver... More

Thank you for your great review, i would like to take the opportunity to advise all people looking at our property that we are 10-15 min walk away as on our website from Akaroa township and you would have to walk along the main highway which has enough room to the village, while it is only a 2 minute drive....

We were really looking forward to our stay at Akaroa Cottages and expected a boutique style studio within walking distance of Akaroa and views over the bay, as described on the website. We were left to find our own way to a dreary 50+year old croquet hut, poorly maintained and surrounded by dense woodland. The walls were plain off white... More
