About this property

Akaroa Oceanview Home

Summary:

To streamline your online check-in, we require a quick ID verification before your access codes are released. This ensures we’re sending entry details to the right person and helps keep our community safe. Thank you!



Extra services are available for purchase through your personal guest boarding pass once your booking is confirmed. For example: early check-ins, high chairs and more.



The Space:

The Akaroa Oceanview Home is a beautiful three-bedroom property, situated up the hill from the village offering the most breathtaking views of Akaroa. This two-story home features two spacious queen bedrooms, one twin bunk bedroom, a fully equipped kitchen, a private TV room and a sunlit lounge opening up to a 180-degree wrap-around balcony. With doors scattered around the front of the house for ultimate indoor-outdoor flow.



Guest Access:

Guests have easy access to private bush walks down to the village centre where you can visit playgrounds, beachfront restaurants, and cafes. Please be aware that accessing the house requires driving down a very steep driveway. As well as walking up this driveway to access the front door. Access to the lower level is also something to note as this is a ladder stair which may not be accessible for all.



The Neighborhood:

The apartment's prime location ensures that all the necessary amenities for a relaxing weekend are within walking distance (if you don't mind walking up/down hills). The waterfront area offers a delightful array of shops where visitors can discover unique trinkets and treasures. Make sure to visit the near by Giant's House, a must-visit local attraction.



Other Things to Note:

For stays of two weeks or longer, we’re happy to provide a complimentary mid-stay clean to keep everything fresh for you! If you’d also like a fresh linen change for a small fee, just let us know and we’ll get that scheduled at the same time.



Interaction with Guests:

Emails and in-app messaging is monitored 9am - 5pm, 7 days a week. For urgent matters we are available by phone 24/7.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

Fabulous!

We had a fabulous stay in Akaroa. The house is a short walk into town which meant it was very quiet with fantastic views of the bay but still handy for going into town for all the shops & restaurants. The house was clean and well equipped with everything we needed. A great stay.

We're definitely coming back!

Loved the property - great location, cleanliness of the highest standard, log burner was fantastic in the bad weather, but plenty of other heating options available if fire starting skills aren't in your repertoire. Very cosy with great amenities/facilities. Welcoming hosts and great communication throughout.

Lovely relaxing getaway

Great spot in Akaroa just past the lighthouse. The house was very well set up with everything you could need for a comfortable stay. When we arrived the fire was already going and there was milk and chocolate in the fridge for us. The location was quiet and private. The driveway was not the easiest to navigate and found parking at the cemetery and then a short walk was easiest for us.Giving two thumbs up for this property and would recommend. Many thanks

Thank you so much for your lovely review, Susan! We’re delighted to hear you had a relaxing getaway and enjoyed the quiet and privacy. We're so happy you appreciated the little touches of our housekeeping like having the the fire going. We’re sorry to hear you found the driveway challenging. It is understandably steep to reach the carport beneath the house. We’d be so happy to welcome you back anytime! Best wishes, The Perfect Stays Team

Hi Brad, As we've informed you multiple times, this occurred on your arrival date and we had our housekeeper promptly address the bugs that were found on arrival in the lower level of the house. The previous guests who departed the same day you arrived did not report anything like this to us. We've offered you alternative accomodation which you did not accept and tried calling and texting you repeatedly with no response. We have offered you a 50% refund on the 3 nights you chose to spend here. I'm sorry this is not enough of a resolution for you, however seeing as you opted to continue your stay in the house instead of relocating, we assume this is not as serious an issue as you've made it out to be. Best wishes on the rest of your travels. Sincerely, The Perfect Stays Team
