The accommodation was in a great position. We were disappointed with the cleaning. Cups in the cupboard were dirty, the bin wasn’t empty , the carpet was ripped and a leg on the heater was broken.

Nice enough location, but the building and appointments are well overdue for refreshing. Bed and room smelled of old cigarette smoke and stale air. Noise from nearby rooms was excessive. Furniture was cheap. Akaroa is such a lovely town it deserves a better presentation.

An alright location near the Main Wharf. Large rooms with great views, makes for a nice getaway. It's close to the lighthouse. It seems to be an easy ten or fifteen-minute walk from the grocery store. One drawback: the cable TV in the room seemed to be an older model or system, not set up for streaming services.

Cannot get a better location. On the waterfront and right in town. Our apartment was very comfortable, and we were very happy with it. A bit noisy in the morning when trying to sleep in but we were in the middle of it all. The downside was an extra separate fee to use the pool, and no washer in the unit, but, did have a coin laundry onsite.

Great Property. Views were spectacular. Would return anytime with confidence. Perfect Location and Staff was friendly and responsive. Right on entrance to the wharf. Morgan's restaurant has moved to food cart on the wharf but easily the BEST fish and chips in town...

Great family unit
The weather was simply stunning, which makes any stay great. We stayed in the 3 bedroom family unit and this was perfect for our group. Large balcony and comfy old sofas on the deck to lounge on in the sun, Large space and good set up for a group of adults with 1 full bathroom, separate toilet and separate shower. Unit was a bit tired, but that didn't bother us and the pool was a lovely bonus in the heat

Comfort plus
We had a very comfortable stay. Beds/Bedding were clean and we all slept extremely well. Living area and kitchen were great. Dishwasher was out of order, door handle in 2nd bedroom fell off everytime it was touched and the window latch in the bathroom with the shower did not work. But these things can easily be fixed and we would stay again.

We were looking forward to staying here with its great location, however I would not have called this room a Deluxe. The Queen Bed was most likely a double size and quite uncomfortable. The bathroom after using was a swimming pool as there is no air ventilation (apart from opening window), hence walls dripping with water which also ran out of hot water. Also had dirty cups (which presumably was the last tenants cleaning! Location was great, but overall for a Deluxe apartment I felt it was rather tired and things like using electricians tape to tie cords etc together made it look very average!!

In a lovely position on waterfront. Very clean, quite dated decor and awful verticle blinds that didn't seem to suit property. Bed comfy but far too big for room.

I loved the view over the bay, the room had big windows and a balcony to allow us to enjoy it to the maximum. The unit was in good condition and had everything that we needed, with good cooling and heating options. The only negative was that there were no signs (in the reception or in the room) that there is a boil-water notice for the town. We saw it in the shops and would not have known to follow the health advice if it wasn't for luck. Otherwise, the location was perfect, a 30-second walk to the restaurants without it being noisy at night. I would go back again.
