I was very disappointed with this accommodation. The driveway was scary, the exterior had lots of moss on the bricks and tatty weeds on the driveway and paths, and it looked very tired. Inside, the exterior doors had significant cobwebs on the hinge parts of the frames. One of the televisions didn't work, one of the heaters didn't work, one of the fridges was set at freezer temp and froze my milk, eggs, lettuce, hummus solid. The lounge kitchen drawer was filthy, the west bathroom door's hook was broken, the view out of the lounge window had dead flax flowers and rust streaks.On a positive note, I loved discovering a Nespresso machine because I love coffee. Thanks for that. But I would not use this for any future stays in Akaroa. I truly expected better and was extremely disappointed.
