BernieRating, 5 stars1 month ago

We had a lovely time at Lynette & Ken’s house. We had all the privacy one could want and Lynette & Ken were quick with their communications and really helpful. They are lovely helpful people who made a real effort to connect if we reached out. The bed was SO comfortable, with nice sheets and good pillows. The bathroom is top spec, better than 5 star motels in the quality of materials. The kitchen had everything we needed. The TV was easy to use. We appreciated all the local area recommendations. Fantastic generous hosts, we’d stay here again without hesitation. Thanks Lynette and Ken!

Beachside Bliss: 1 Bed 1 Bath

AliciaRating, 5 stars1 month ago

Very modern and clean. Perfect for one or two people for a quick over night. Kitchen was equipped. Bed was comfortable. Walking distance to the beach. Not much else around. The pier, shops and restaurants are close by. Visit the pier if you like the beach but everything else around has gone down. Not appealing at all. We drove 10 min away for a meal.

Home in Akaroa

The Little Blue Cottage

NicolaRating, 5 stars2 months ago

We loved our stay at The Little Blue Cottage. It’s in a gorgeous garden setting with abundant birdlife. Inside is spacious, oozing stylish comfort. Great bathroom, comfortable bed with lovely linen sheets, and a well-designed kitchen with quality equipment. It had turned a bit chilly when we arrived in Akaroa, so the wood burner was much appreciated! Would love to stay again in this inviting and peaceful cottage.
