The place to stay in Akaroa

My brother and I loved our stay at Akaroa’s Historic Shipping Office. This delightful accomodation is clean, comfortable, cosy and has everything needed for a great visit. Close to the water, cafes and shops. Wonderful to see such a historic building being both preserved and able to be used and enjoyed by visitors.

Most Central Location

Ideal location for a stay in Akaroa. Everything is nearby. The wharf, dining, shopping and a great hiking trail. The property has on site parking and the interior is neat, clean and very functional.
