Howard's apartment is very comfortable and well appointed with everything a traveller needs. We appreciated the welcoming biscuits and slices and the fruit and breakfast supplies. Howard assisted us with travel tips on the surrounding areas and we found Akaroa to be a good location for visiting Anson's Bay, Binalong Bay, The Gardens and Mt William National Park. We highly recommend this quiet apartment with excellent Bay views, adjoining the lovely town of St Helens to all discerning travellers.
