Great accommodation, great hosts, and great breakfasts. As one of the oldest former residences of a bygone era, this property is a perfect choice when visiting the historic French settlement of Akaroa.

A beautiful old villa set in a gorgeous garden. Breakfast was delicious, and the hosts very friendly. I wish I could have stayed longer. The only downside was the very low shower pressure.

We both loved this home, amazing to think it is the oldest lived in home in NZ at 164 years old, it is truely the perfect stopping point if you are visiting Akaroa. It’s peaceful, historical, lovingly and authentically restored. It is in the centre of everything, walkable to many attractions and eateries. The gardens are lovely and the rooms perfectly dressed. The hosts are amazing, well worth the stay just to meet them. You won’t be disappointed with the breakfast, again it was perfect. We both give this accomodation a 10 out of 10 and will return. Akaroa is beautiful and charming and so is this home.
