Wonderful cottage stay!

Le Solterre - Akaroa Holiday Home in Jan/Feb 2025 was even more delightful than expected for our stay with 2 adults and 3 children! The house was clean and neat, kitchen VERY well-equipped, with lovely yard and gardens. Decor and room arrangements were comfortable and relaxed, beds and bedding very nice and all appliances worked well. Location of the house is excellent, so much within a 10-minute walk or quick drive to shop, dine, explore, beach play, playground and movie theatre. Don't miss the Giant's House!!**Unfortunately, the newly installed key lockbox did not function, and seemed to be jammed (we are familiar with lockboxes). Unable to get into the house upon arrival, we did call property management and got a kind response, though there was about an hours' wait to get a key delivered as we had to shuttle kiddos into town for toilet use after the drive. Lockbox location also needs an accurate description: it is NOT on a "pole", but was found on a large deck post after searching for some time.The front door lock is also in need of repair, as it does not always latch properly, which is very inconvenient and a security risk.
