Such a great location, makes it super easy to enjoy Akaroa. Literally walk out the door and you're right in the town - to go for coffee, out for dinner or to the supermarket for supplies. The house was perfect for our family group. Great beds, so quiet, an easy place to stay in and cook for the night. We all loved it!
Thanks for staying with us, Colin! It was a pleasure hosting you and would love to host you again next time. :) - Mayie, Christchurch Holiday Homes Team

Noise Monitoring & Consideration for Neighbours This apartment is equipped with a noise monitoring device in the living area. The monitor measures sound levels only - it does not record conversations - and helps ensure a comfortable environment for all residents in the building.
We ask that you please be mindful of your noise levels, particularly during the building’s quiet hours of 10:00 pm to 8:00 am, and avoid loud music, parties, or disruptive behaviour. As this is a shared residential complex, respecting other residents’ peace and privacy is essential.
