About this property

Re-Built Bach to modern day Kalamata

Kalamata is an oasis, close enough to the township of Akaroa, where you can enjoy a short walk to the eateries, beach and shops, but also far enough away that if you do not want to be part of the hustle and bustle you can sit on the deck and enjoy the picturesque view with a beverage.
Although Kalamata was built in 1950 during 2019 it has had a major renovation. In fact most of our neighbors think its a brand new!
The things we are most proud of is the rain water tank which flushes the toilets and of course the home is now insulated and has double glazing which keeps it cozy in the winter and cool in the summer months.
Kalamata is now wheel chair friendly. The bathroom is designed with the disabled in mind.
Kalamata has 2 bedrooms, a brand new kitchen if you like to cook.
Both the living and sun room open up to the deck.
BBQ is also available just below the deck.
Crisp and clean, its perfect for a couple or 2.
It’s also a great hideaway for romantics wanting a little time out.
Big parking bay at the front of the home. Room to park a boat or any other water toys.
Only 1.5 hours self drive from Christchurch airport and an hours or so from Christchurch city it’s a great first or last stopover to relax and enjoy a taste of “ little France in NZ “. Being an old French colony, there remains a charming French influence in the township of Akaroa.

Akaroa itself offers many opportunities to connect with nature – either through taking one of the wonderful walks or hikes around the nearby hills, fishing swimming, or cruising on one of the tourist boats to watch dolphins at play.

The township also offers visitors local crafts, contemporary and / or traditional restaurants and cafes, waterside strolls on the board walks, great boutique shopping, a nearby cheese maker to visit and buy from, water activities, bird watching or just relaxing and taking in the ever changing harbour views.

This house isn't serviced so please bring linen. Sheets / towels and pillow cases only.

Our Fave accomodation!

Absolutely loved our stay at Kalamata! We have stayed at a lot of different places in Akaroa and this would have to be our favourite for sure! Had everything you could need for the perfect stay not to mention the beautiful finished and amazing view! Sun drenched deck flowing through to the lounge/kitchen and a cosy fire for when the southerly rolled over! This will definitely be our go to when we return to Akaroa!

Gorgeous place to stay

Beautiful little house, very well equipped with things like coffee plungers etc. I was stoked to see some house shampoo and conditioner as I had forgotten mine. They really have thought of everything to ensure a pleasant stay. Would definitely stay again 😊

Lovely home, exceeded expectations!

This is a fantastically well equiped and stylish home with absolutely everything you might need thought of. Great accessibility for an older person with mobility issues, just be aware your short walk to town is hilly. We loved it and will be back.

A genuinely clean property. Once you walk in the door it feels like you’re on holiday. The house was well equiped with what we needed without the clutter some properties have and all being on one level was great for children.

Lovely well located property

The house was lovely, nicer than the pictures! We had a relaxing stay with our two children towards the end of our time in NZ. We enjoyed the generous kitchen facilities, the spacious balcony with views, and the games and DVDs provided. (We recommend the alpaca farm tour!) We had a small issue on arrival when the house alarm was on, contrary to check-in instructions and it took us a little bit of time to successfully contact the property manager but this was soon resolved and did not spoil our overall visit. I would recommend this accommodation.

Sadly my 22yr old niece found the Murphy bed uncomfortable, which was unfortunate as this disrupted her sleep. It was a lovely building and garden area with a great kitchen and bathroom. Lovely shower.
