Akaroa Sunshine Views and Spa Pool !!!

Very comfortable and quirky accommodation. Lots of homely touches. Love that there are still some original features in the home. Had everything we needed.

New kettle and oven needed

Beautiful views, loved the surrounding trees bush with kereru and piwakawaka joining us when in the spa 🥰 such a cool quirky house with so many interesting knick knacks and art , very relaxing. Very well equipped kitchen and surprised to find the games room with the nostalgic games machines and pool table. Had a perfect couple of days, will come back to visit the Giants House soon ! Highly recommended 💖

It was a 10 minute walk to town right next to The Giants House The decor was interesting- retro furniture and bric a brac.

Close to town Nice views Good facilities Easy access.

The location was excellent & the host was very helpful

Nothing the stay was not long enough

The spa pool was amazing. Beautiful deck area as well.

Super quirky and fun place! Lot's of very interesting decor and thoughtful touches. Amazing deck/view from upstairs. Right next to the Giants House which is a world class experience and must do in Akaroa.

The two rooms downstairs aren't very luxurious but do the job. Showers are old but good pressure. Location is up a biiiiig hill so you'll definitely need a car.

Beautiful view in a convenient location. Hot tub is great. Kitchen is well stocked. Easy walk to town and hiking routes.

Bathrooms are a bit dated.

View from the deck was exceptional.

We had an outstanding stay at this beautiful home. The decor was so thoughtfully personalised, making it feel like a true home away from home. Everything was well organised, with clear instructions for all appliances, including the spa, and helpful notes on where to find everything within the house. The property itself was perfectly positioned—right next to the Giant’s House, which was fascinating to look out on from the window, yet surprisingly peaceful with no disturbance from visitors. The sea views from both decks were stunning, and the tranquil garden setting made it the perfect spot to relax. There’s really nothing to note as a dislike—only that if you’re not a confident driver, it’s best to park on the road or grass verge, as entering and exiting the carport requires a carefully navigated three-point turn at minimum. Communication from the host was excellent, especially when we realised we’d left something behind—they were so helpful in arranging its return. The location was ideal—not directly in the village centre, but just an easy walk away. We absolutely loved our stay and will most definitely choose this as our preferred accommodation when we return to Akaroa.

A perfect stay in a lovely town by the sea. We visited as a couple and are now planning to bring the family.

Beds and pillows were great. Didn't use the spa or pool table but nice to have that option

Would have expected basic toiletries in the shower etc at this price point. It was clean and tidy but well overpriced

The house is amazing with game room and nice views

The bathrooms

The place is just heaven. The view from the deck and the pool is breathtaking. We also loved the interior, all the details matching together. It’s clear the place is created and decorated with big love. For those loving vintage games and pool: there’s a game room with direct access to the pool.

Very comfortabke beds. Lovely views.

Spa pool Well equipped

Lack of safety rail on lower deck. Barbecue had not been cleaned in a while. Very dirty so we couldn't use it which meant we were unable to use it as planned for meals!

View, bush setting and comfortable.

Nothing

Views, deck

Clear instruction to find key. Spa was amazing, House clean and tidy. Great view

Downstairs bathroom shower head was far to small and low water pressure.

Lovely views, quirky decor, well equipped, good linen and towels

Downstairs bedrooms tight on space, shower rooms dated but functional.

The location is good

It should state clearly that this is a two storey house with very steep stairs. That the spa and lower ground floor have steps to gain entry. The downstairs shower has no water pressure so there is no showering to be done. The downstairs bedrooms are dark and small and wud be very cold in autumn and winter.

I loved the retro feel of the place! It was comfortable and close to town. My favourite thing was watching the satellites and even a falling star from the spa!

Peaceful spot with lovely views, handy to town, owner was great to deal with.

Nothing, would happily book again, this time for longer 😊

Great location, perfect view on the inlet. Fully equipped accommodation including the hot tub. We had a great stay. Easy checkin and communication, we would book again.

Lovely big house with private garden and spa. Great kitchen and everything you need.

Great location and superb views. Watch the sunset from the deck and observe the native birds fly through the trees. Well appointed house with cool artwork and homely touches.

The quirky ornaments we found so interesting. The pool table in the games room (needs a good clean up though). The spacious decks and the birds in trees all around the property.

Downstairs bedrooms & bathroom were so small. Very steep stairs. The very soft beds. The drawers were filled with owners’ clothes & things. The place could have been cleaner - dusty and residue from brushing teeth around hand basins. At this rate we didn’t even dare use the spa.

Next level amazing: The location is up the same driveway as the Giants Garden - I opened the window in the upstairs bathroom to find a gathering of Giants just up the driveway 😆 The views are incredible 👏 with a symphony of birdsong. The decor was funky - a treat for any retro collector And the beds, couches were comfortable- with the added bonus of a fire. And that's not even counting the spa - this was clean and was delicious to help us unwind with a red wine under the starlit sky What a blessing 🙌

Getting our oversized van in and out of the carpark but we managed with a 5 point turn 👍

The property overall was fantastic. Facilities were very good which included a spa pool a cool game room and a wood-burning fireplace. It had a wonderful view into the harbor. the surrounding bush in the yard give us a very nice feeling of privacy.
