About this property

Fantail Cottage with Sea Views - Akaroa Home

Welcome to Fantail Cottage - previously known as Rowan and Bengairn Cottages! Nestled in amongst native New Zealand bush, this cottage is host to fantastic views of the Akaroa Harbour and scenery.

With the trees surrounding the cottage, you'll enjoy the privacy privacy this home offers, allowing you to really escape. Wake up and wander out onto the balcony to take in the fresh South Island air.

Enjoy the cosy, laid-back holiday living setup of this studio-style cottage, fitted with all the essentials you might need on your trip. Bedroom one has a kitchenette and lounge area with fireplace, with an ensuite. And bedroom two also has a lounge area with fireplace and ensuite.

In winter get comfy in front of the fire, put your feet up and unwind. The kitchenette has all you need to prepare quick, easy meals, or choose to head into Akaroa village to sample some of the great cafes and culinary venues.

Or perhaps take a scenic cruise around Akaroa Harbour, host to amazing sea mammals and birdlife, including the world's smallest and rarest dolphins, the Hector's Dolphin, New Zealand fur seals and white-flippered penguins. Everything you need for a romantic escape awaits at Fantail Cottage!

Peace and quiet with a view, what more could you need with this holiday - Fantail Cottage awaits.
Please note a bond may be charged at certain times of the year. One of our team members will contact you if this is required for your booking.

Beautiful location but disappointing stay
Outside windows were stained and covered with cobwebs, gatden needs some trimming so you can enjoy the view. No wifi network at all. Cobwebs and spiders all through the inside and very dusty. Sticky surfaces. This place really needed a good clean. Location was beautiful and only took a small walk to get into town. We had booked for two nights but only atayed one. Definitely wish we had booked somewhere else.
Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2025
