小高い場所にあり眺望がよかったです。朝の散歩のときには色んな鳥の鳴き声が聞こえ、空気も澄んでおり、気持ちい朝を迎えられました。価格的にもリーズナブルでした。
到着が遅くなり辺りが暗くなっていたので、鍵の入ったロッカーが見つけづらかったです。
視野非常好,晴天很美! 床鋪有電暖毯很棒,有洗碗機很方便!
抵達時櫥櫃裡有過期的吐司,不確定是否上一位房客留下的。 廚房的平底鍋底部不平很難用,爐子加熱很慢。 地毯靠近廚房區域的接縫處有尖刺突起,經過時被刺到好幾次(穿著襪子仍有感),建議全面檢查一次,也建議提供室內拖鞋讓客人使用。
美麗的風景,可愛的度假小屋

Fab view of Akoroa bay and nice peaceful garden setting. Cosy for winter visits. Free shared clothes washing and drying facilities.
Hopefully just one off but several minor issues; rubbish under bed, microwave grubby, couple of light bulbs not working. no milk provided along with the tea and coffee ( as even cheap motels do) felt bit unwelcoming. This all let down what would otherwise have been a fantastic cottage.
The cottage was freezing cold when we arrived. Despite the heatpump being kindly left on. We arrived after dark and it was a very cold evening. The cottage had a few oil heaters in cupboards which we found. And eventually we adjusted the heatpump to a setting which worked. It took some time before the cottage was heated. We went to bed cold.
It is in such a beautiful setting. We will definitely come back in the summer time. Once the heating was on the house was tasty warm, all the essentials are here and we didn’t have to search for anything. Room sizes were great and we loved the cuteness of the cottage.
We struggled a bit with the tv remote control (potentially the batteries need replacing), and the electric blanket in the master room didn’t heat up, but apart from that the property is amazing!
Great cottage with everything we needed. It was a very cold couple of days but the cottage was warm and cosy. The views and surroundings made the visit very special. Loved the secret path into town. Much nicer than having to walk on the main road
Silly thing really. But it would be nice to have another heated towel rail. One rail for 4 towels does not really work
Living her is so comfortable. The house is quiet, clean, view is beautiful, light is bright, having heater, having good car parking space, and bath shower is strong enough. Especially, the whole environment is very big.
Great location warm
Battery on remote flat and windows needed cleaning along with heaps of cobwebs on windows
The Cottage was very clean and a lovely view
I could not get the gas fire to but there was enough heaters Would of been nice if there would of been milk in the fridge
Amazing views, peaceful, close to the town of Akaroa. Lively comfy, homely cottage in stunning surroundings.
The cottage was perfect for us for our 4 night stay. It is located just outside the village of Akaroa and easily accessible by car. It was very clean, well set up and had everything we needed. There is a lovely view over the harbour from the property.
We were disappointed we couldnt get the gas fire working - the nights were chilly - but the heat pump was a very acceptable substitute.
Beautiful little cottage with fantastic views. Bedrooms spacious. Comfy lounge area gorgeous views from patio area where you can enjoy drinks etc.while listening to birds sing. Views also from master bedroom. Good instructions on how to find cottage. 25 mins walk to akaroa..which is a lovely little town with lots of restaurants etc. Highly recommend staying here. Very peaceful area to stay. So quiet and dark at night. Great communication from owner.
Nothing. Everything great.
Location stunning. Property very smart and well laid out
Perfect in every way
Great views, peaceful, close to town, well equipped.The laundry was handy for us.
the setting and view where amazing
it wasn't ready and black mould on curtains plus really bad smell in bathroom. had to keep fan on at all times. plus no fresh milk. the powder for cream was old and horrible.
This cottage was wonderful! It was very well appointed and decorated. Such a beautiful location and comfortable beds. It was a terrific value and I would stay again.

Nice setting
Bathroom could have been a bit cleaner....in and around the shower
Lovely peaceful location
Beautiful location amongst trees in a managed parkland setting with alfresco dining facilities and a view towards the bay. Comfortable interior offering enough space for up to four people on a short stay, parking, a laundry, plenty of hot water and everything worked as it should. This host knows how to do it properly, putting other hosts to shame and should be the benchmark for other aspiring hosts to match.
The toilet seat was loose and needs re fitting…but thats just maintenance.
The location was so beautiful and the home was well maintained and cozy.
There was laundry, but the instructions for using it were not easily found.
The bird song was incredible
The location of being surrounded by nature was amazing, sitting on the paved patio, or from the lounge and looking towards the water while the sun was setting was absolutely beautiful, the view from the main room looking out towards the water in the early morning
The shower door needs to be repaired, it doesn't close properly, so, when you get out of the shower this has resulted in a large puddle of water accumilating while showering which could also cause damage/replacing the flooring in the bathroom.
Position, position, position! Great views, lots of birds and very quiet. The property was clean, spacious and comfortable. Excellent spot close to the village of Akaroa but far enough away from the crowds.
Beautiful location and outlook. Lovely gardens and comfortable cottage.
la situation géographique, la qualité de l’hébergement. Le confort de la maison. le cadre exceptionnel.

Only complaint I have is no grater
Just a neautiful spot to be - had everything we needed and close to Akaroa. Loved the company of the 'village cat' - a delight to have him visit. Would love to buy this house 💕
Having to leave!
The view was amazing and the location perfect
Maybe some instructions on how to use the microwave as a convection oven- google wasn’t very helpful
Location is has very beautiful setting - gorgeous environment. Nice updated kitchenette and good parking. Good owner communication. Amazing view into Akaroa
The shower head was broken and the shower leaked. The decor is pretty dated for the price of the property.
Beautiful location, excellent facilities. The view when you wake up is just incredible! Close to town. We loved it here.
Views,location, comfortable, peaceful, birdsong
Great communication by the owner. Would love to have stayed longer. Next time!
Was cosy , had everything we needed and more . Stunning view out the main bedroom and lounge window
The shower head sprayed in all directions
Tout. L atmosphère, le charme de la maison, la vue, le petit feu de cheminée

Location overlooking the bay, everything in the cottage worked well from heating, to wifi, kitchen appliances and hot water.
The water in the vicinity leaves large pieces of limescale floating in the kettle and tastes a bit weird. Would recommend future guests to bring own bottled water.
The location was very handy to the township of Akaroa.
Beautiful view Electric blankets Clean Good location Tea, coffee provided
No airer for drying clothes Limited hanging space - not a problem as we only stayed 2 nights but would be if staying longer
Location is stunning!
Access to key in the dark was a minor challenge
Amazing location, quiet with beautiful views. Living room was warm and cozy - gas fireplace did a good job.
- Bathroom heater was spoilt, with no prior notification. It was extremely cold. When we told the host, there were apologies but no service recovery (eg extra standalone heater) - Shower was quite old, water pressure was slightly low and hot water came on and off. - Wifi was not working throughout our stay. Some electrical outlets and extension cord was not working.
No noise other than birdsong, which we loved.
Nothing
The location was good.
We found the cottage to be 'tired' and in need of a refreshing. The shower was poor and mouldy in places, the toiletries provided may as well have not been there, the kettle was full of calcification, the wall heater in the passageway either didn't work or was ineffective. For the money we expected a little better.
Beautiful and private.

Beautiful private surroundings full of native birdlife, especially the very friendly fantails! The view from the cottage and main bedroom was spectacular! The walkway to Akaroa is definitely worth doing! We left feeling very rested and we wouldn't hesitate to stay here again - thank you.
There wasn't anything we didn't like!
Loved everything about it. View is exceptional.
We had an amazing stay at Cherrywood Cottage. The view is amazing and a very short drive into Akaroa (3-4 mins). It was clean and had everything we needed. Like a home away home. Highly recommend.
What a beautiful and relaxing spot to stay and not far from town. We really loved our not so little cottage and were sad to leave.
Quiet. Private. Peaceful. Beautiful gardens. Easy drive into Akaroa. About 3 km into town. We lijed the location as akaroa can be busy and good to escape Suit two people or a small family.
We like the children's walk which look us about 3 hours to complete. Well worth it.
This on the whole was a lovely property in a great location. I think it would have been nice to have a tea pot and strainer. (tea bags are provided but I travel with loose leaf tea). The other thing I don't like is same coloured towels - it's much easier to have different coloured towels - just saying.
Little surprised no oven. But we got around that with BQ Keep an eye on the mould on the backs of curtains in the bedrooms and dust on the hallway lighting. But that's normal maintenance not a real issue.
A great location, expansive grounds and a nice view. Quiet, charming. Laundry was easy to use and in good working order.
Would’ve been nice to have bathroom condiments like shower soap, conditioner like we’ve found in other places but this is very minor.
Beautiful cottage fabulous views we had a wonderful stay
The view was stunning and very peaceful location
Excellent location, which is the selling point of the property
Needs a “rack” in the shower to hold shampoo, soap etc.
Location. Outdoor space. Lovely atmosphere Private from other cottages View
Shower was bit tricky but we mastered it Driveway was a bit slippery but we mastered it
Location, lovely gardens and view, very sweet cottage and proximity to town
Little bit of milk for a cup of tea on arrival would be great, we got there late and were very tired.
Great location, privacy, and facilities
The view was spectacular with a beautiful garden and the cottage felt private; and was clean and cozy.

The view, the serenity and the natural surroundings
The location is stunning. Set in its own botanical gardens. Bellbirds calling. Californian Quail roaming. Easy access to a beautiful resort with French styling.
Back pathway needed a good clean-up.
Fantastic views. Lovely whole cottage. Very comfy.
Windows could have been cleaner and dvd broken.
Clean, tidy, comfortable beds, excellent views
Walk up steep hill to get back to cottage
The cottage was wonderful and had all we needed. Loved the peaceful, relaxing location.
Peaceful location with stunning views. Even though it was the middle of summer, Akaroa experienced a cold snap during our stay so the fireplace was welcomed. Cottage was immaculately clean and well equipped.
Situation and view wonderful!! Very good explanation before the stay
N/A
Spacious 2 bedroom cottage. Gas fireplace was great!
Furnishing a bit outdated. The kettle was in desperate need of a descale or replacement!!!
Amazing view. Warm and comfortable with everything we needed for the weekend.
