Waterfront holiday rentals in Akaroa

We enjoyed a wonderful stay at this lovely apartment. Right and centre of town with views of the water, surprisingly very peaceful as well. The apartment was immaculately tidy and clean, with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. We would be very happy to return to such a spectacular location.

Fantastic stay at Lana’s place. Great location right opposite the beach, but the icing on the cake was all the thoughtful touches and the attention to detail…..All those little things you need… she had thought of them all. Thanks so much for a wonderful stay. We will definitely be recommending this cute wee place to all our friends.

We loved our stay, fantastic location and lovely clean home! Easy walking distance to the beach and hot pools. Whilst no allocated parking we didn’t struggle with finding a park nearby. Thank you, we’d love to stay again!

This apartment probably has the best view and location in Akaroa. The place is very recommendable 😊

Mary was a warm and gracious host. She communicated quickly to all our queries. The apartment was exactly as advertised. Quiet ,clean, well supplied, and with a beautiful waterfront view. I would love to visit again and highly recommend Mary's place to anyone.

This place was amazing for our time in Akaroa. We loved having coffee on the patio, the views from the one bedroom and being able to walk everywhere from our doorstep. I wish we could have stayed longer.

We loved our stay and hope to come and stay again. Very comfortable and great location to beach and cafes.

I will definitely consider staying here again in the future and highly recommend it for a family or group of five.

This simple kiwi Bach was simply idyllic. From the unbeatable panoramic views to the stylish and cosy bedding, it had everything we needed. We gave several games a go that were provided - ‘Yakkity’, Charades, Game of Life… we brought our own rackets and spent plenty of time on the nearby tennis court; we did a little coasteering down to the ‘3 Points Island’ and chilled out watching a bit of Netflix. A thoroughly good time had by all.

The house is gorgeous and we felt it was a privilege to stay there. The morning coffee watching the sunrise was a real treat. The attention to details and the extra starter supplies were a real special touch. The house was amazing and opening the Oceanside doors brought nature to us! We will stay again!!!

There were three of us staying for three nights. Wish we would have stayed longer. This is a fabulous house, full stop. If it's available for the days that work for your travel schedule, do yourself a favor and book it. The views are great from the decks, and it's such a peaceful place. It's an easy drive into Christchurch and convenient for exploring nearby areas like Sumner and Akaroa. The house was new, large, tastefully decorated, and super clean. Communications with Viv were excellent and replies were prompt. Check-in and check-out were super easy too. This house is a 10/10.

We would recommend this place. We stayed here for one night as a group of four (if you're coming with four people, two of you will be sleeping on a sofa bed). The host reached out in advance to ask if we wanted the sofa bed prepared, which we confirmed. However, upon arrival, we had to set it up ourselves. We found the necessary bedding and blankets in the bedroom closet, but we weren’t entirely sure if they had been freshly changed, as they seemed slightly used. Despite that, our overall experience was positive and without major issues. The house is within walking distance of a beautiful beach and pier, which we really appreciated. Thank you for the stay!

beautiful 1bedroom house. Great amenities. The bed a bit uncomfortable. Overall awesome and tidy apartment. Thank you.

A peaceful retreat in a breathtaking part of Christchurch. The home was spotless, stylish, and very comfortable. Beautiful location, kind and helpful host—loved every moment and can’t wait to come back!

Amazing space in a lovely setting! Would highly recommend!

This stunning home was beyond incredible! Each level offered plenty of space and privacy, making it perfect for three families. The convenience of having a bathroom on every floor was a huge plus. We especially loved relaxing on the deck in the afternoon sun — the view was a real highlight. The kitchen was well equipped, and the house manual was super clear and helpful. A truly superb stay!
