Great property for weekend stay

We’ve stayed at this property several times, and although it’s a little dated, it is immaculately clean and well equipped. A lovely deck to enjoy great views. Plenty of room for a group. Would definitely recommend.

Beautiful location, great house, bit of a glitch with neighbours parking in the drive which created some problems when we arrived but agents/owners did a reasonable job trying to resolve.

Great Spot

We had a very fun but busy weekend in Akaroa with a family wedding. The location was perfect to Mt Vernon Lodge, and a great size for all of us. The only thing I will say is the all steps and stairs inside weren't ideal for moving babies or the older generation. Overall though was great and we'd definitely use again. Thanks 😊

Nice place to stay

This property was ideal for an extended family group as my parents could have their own space in the sleepout. It was a little stressful with a newly mobile infant and all the stairs in the house! Overall, a lovely place to stay.
