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 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.



Our cleaning fees reflect the level of care and detail our housekeeping team provide in our homes. While you may be staying in a regular family home, our intention is to provide hotel-quality comfort for your stay, regardless of the type of property. This requires extensive cleaning after each check-out to ensure every guest is able to experience our properties at their best. Our cleans also include hotel-quality linen on all our beds, bathroom toiletries such as shampoo and conditioner, as well as tea, coffee & hot chocolate for your first couple of days.



For stays exceeding 14 days, a mid-stay clean is required to keep the property at the highest standards. If you would also like a linen change please let us know so we can book this in for the same time. Mid-stay cleans or linen changes for stays less than 14 days are optional. This service can be booked through your personal Guest Boarding Pass.
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

Insect issue

Maggots were present in downstairs bedroom and bathroom. Cleaner informed us they were aware of this issue before we arrived. Cleaner was great. But concering they rented this property knowing. Still trying to resolve concerns.

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
