Wonderful location
It’s a magnificent property in an ideal location .. so well equipped and comfortable. The cleanliness was a problem .. dust everywhere, on books and items, dirty bathroom floor with clumps of dust and hair, marks on quilt cover in bedroom, dust and dirt on the floors in the corners of bedroom, some stained and old furniture… for the top peak price that I paid for two nights, this was disappointing

Great place to relax
We had a lovely time at The Villa Akaroa, it was a home away from home. Great kitchen for cooking your own meals and good spaces inside and out for relaxing. The only issue we had was the skylights above the beds made the bedroom to light early in the morning and would suggest installation of a remote controlled window shade on the inside of the window. Overall a very nice place.

luxurious Akaroa getaway
A lovely Villa with well equipped kitchen and full of interesting curios, books and a good selection of puzzles and board games for rainy days (not that we had any during our stay). A short walk to beach, shops and cafes and a lovely outdoor area for outdoor dining or just to curl up with a good book.

Our expectations were high and it far exceeded them. the entire place is very special but above all else the kitchen and pantry makes it feel like it your own place for a small window in time.
