Akaroa is a charming French enclave. The unit appears to be an apartment but is well appointed with good amenities. It’s 1 minute from a French breakfast at L’Escargot Rouge & the wharf from which Black Cat Harbor Cruise showed us Hector Dolphins, penguins & seals. The highlight was a hike 15 minutes from town at low tide up the Onawe Peninsula! Dinners at Ma Maison & The Little Bistro were wonderful! Photogenic houses are 1 minute away on Main Street. It’s quiet after 6:00. There is a coin operated laundromat on the premises for $4 wash & $4 dryer. Bring your laundry detergent or buy it @ the nearby well-stocked grocery. Mandy is responsive. The unit is very comfortable and up to date. We loved our stay.
