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.
