Beautiful home with expansive deck and windows overlooking Akaroa and the harbor. Very comfortable furnishings and bed. Check-in was nice and easy with John’s daughter-in-law introducing us to the house. Towels and sheets were nice and of good quality.
We had a bit of a feeling that we were sharing the house with an absent roommate, since our host rents the house when he is away, and we would often find, while looking for something or a place to store things, his personal items in drawers and cupboards. This didn’t cause any problems, but future potential renters might want to be aware of it.
Similarly, there could have been more effort by the cleaning staff to get the nooks and crannies cleaned of crumbs, etc. Overall, the home was quite clean on first impression, and we enjoyed the living areas and the deck, but the kitchen counters and cabinets weren’t quite up to the quality of the rest of the house.
The washer and dryer, which were supposed to be included, were in the garage, and we did not have a key to access them
Akaroa is a lovely town and highly recommended.
