Great location in Akaroa
Nice layout, interesting history and architectureProbably could do with a more private courtyard
Ideal location for a stay in Akaroa. Everything is nearby. The wharf, dining, shopping and a great hiking trail. The property has on site parking and the interior is neat, clean and very functional.
